The chips will start arriving next year with the upcoming Meteor Lake processors.
Intel has come up with a way to upgrade the built-in graphics on CPUs: a dedicated GPU chip tile on future processors. The company plans on introducing the new technology next year with Intel’s Meteor Lake family, which will use an optimized 7-nanometer manufacturing process. In a presentation ahead of an Intel investors meeting, SVP Raja Koduri added: “Meteor Lake is a brand new architecture that’ll enable tile GPUs to be integrated on a 3D package. This is super exciting as this allows us to offer discrete graphics class performance with the efficiency of integrated graphics.” The tile GPUs will fall under Intel’s Arc brand, which is going to launch its first discrete gaming GPUs for laptops later this quarter.
