Early Intel 14th Gen Meteor Lake-M Laptop CPU With 4+8 Core Configuration Spotted
Early Intel 14th Gen Meteor Lake-M Laptop CPU With 4+8 Core Configuration Spotted-February 2024

An early Intel Meteor Lake-M CPU sample which features a total of 12 cores has been leaked within a Dell Inspirion test unit by Twitter leaker, Komachi.

Intel 14th Gen Meteor Lake-M Laptop CPU With 12 Cores & 1.2 GHz ES Clocks Shows Up In Dell Inspiron Test Unit

The information in the UserBenchmark leak shows the Intel 14th Gen Meteor Lake CPU appearing as an engineering sample labeled as "U3E1".

The chip is still an early ES sample and rocks a total of 12 cores and 16 threads in a 4 P-Core & 8 E-Core configuration. The CPU is listed with a base clock of 1.2 GHz but only averaging 0.55 GHz clock speeds. Considering that Meteor Lake CPUs are still several months away from launch, this is to be expected from early samples as has been the case with most Intel CPUs in the early ES state. We have seen the same with Alder Lake and Raptor Lake samples and we gradually see the clocks get better as the launch approaches.

The GPU for the laptop is listed as Intel Arc Graphics and while one might assume it to be a discrete graphics, we believe that this is the new Tiled-GPU (tGPU) based on the Arc Alchemist Xe-LPG SKU & will offer some big performance improvements over the existing UHD and Iris Xe graphics featured on current laptop chips as iGPUs.
