The microarchitectures of Meteor Lake’s E-Cores and P-Cores are similar to those of Raptor Lake, according to Intel’s Tim Wilson

As we learned in a recent interview we conducted here at GEEKNETIC with Tim Wilson, it seems so There are no significant improvements to the microstructure of the E-Cores and P-Cores in Meteor Lake What we’ll see in 2024 laptops compared to today’s Raptor Lake machines.

These microarchitectures, called Cestmont and Redwood Cove respectively, don’t represent major changes because the Meteor Lake computing block is made using an entirely new manufacturing process called Intel 4, which debuted specifically with this architecture. Tim himself explains to us that when Intel launches a new manufacturing process a fundamental change occurs They prefer not to risk too much by making changes to the architecture. They tend to make more fundamental changes when a node or manufacturing process is more established and more operational. Let’s not forget that in fact, with Intel Node 4, they also made their manufacturing debut with EUV Extreme Ultraviolet light.

Something different happens, Tim explains, with the I/O block, which is manufactured at TSMC’s N6 process. AndThe input and output block requires high voltage operating transistors This requires more stable operation that requires more operation, as is the case with TSMC’s N6.

However, in the case of the P-Cores and E-Cores microarchitectures, although not significantly changed from Raptor Lake to Meteor Lake, they are manufactured using the Intel 4 process, which is specifically optimized for making high-performance transistors. It should mean a significant improvement in both performance and efficiency..

We’ll have to wait for Arrow Lake, the next build, to see more substantial changes to the E-Cores and P-Cores.
