Intel is making a new L4 cache specifically designed for improving boot times on its next-gen Meteor Lake processors. This means we could expect faster booting on next-gen Windows 11, and more.
Intel’s Meteor Lake processors, which are the 14th Gen Core CPUs, are expected to arrive by the end of the year, or early next year. A rumor had suggested that Intel and Microsoft were aligning the launch of desktop Meteor Lake-S (MTL-S) CPUs right around Windows 12. However, there hasn’t been much evidence of MTL-S at all in terms of leaks, which means we likely aren’t getting next gen Windows at least until the middle of next year.
So although it means we are still a year away, Intel’s new patent has revealed details of a new Level 4 (L4) cache dubbed «Adamantine» or «ADM» (via Phoronix), which is being designed to achieve «Slimmer And Faster Boot».
