Meteor Lake series processors will be imported into the VPU design

     In the case of Computex2023 emphasizing the theme of artificial intelligence (AI), the new products launched by various manufacturers are also centered around AI. Processor giant intel (intel) is not exhibiting products in 2023. However, at the same time, it also announced that its code Meteor Lake series processor will import AI applications, and will design the new VPU core in it, which has attracted the attention of the market.

     According to Intel, the Meteor Lake series of processors, which will be launched in the second half of 2023, has designed the VPU core design for AI computing. By independently operating the VPU of AI applications, in addition to improving the operational efficiency of AI, it can also reduce the working load of the CPU and further reduce the operating power consumption of the CPU.

     In fact, the Meteor Lake series processors import the VPU core design, also using the Chiplet structure, and benefit from the use of Intel's Forveros 3D packaging technology, which is expected to be available to customers from the Intel 4 process stage. Based on what we know so far, the Meteor Lake series of processors features a new generation of power management, in addition to the introduction of the VPU core design, and the addition of a new core graphics card.

     Among them, in the new core graphics card section, Intel notes that the Arc AlchemistXe-LPG graphics processor module that Meteor Lake series processors will use will produce the same performance and features as Arc standalone graphics cards, including DX12 Ultimate, Ray tracing and XeSS. With the blessing of these image functions, Meteor Lake series processors have added the VPU core design, and the application of images will be more flexible and diversified.

     From the point of view of the average user, the network video call application will be the best experience to highlight the VPU core design imported from Meteor Lake series processors. In Intel's demonstration, after a relative improvement in Microsoft's AI-accelerated application, users can use the camera program built into Windows11 on their computers to provide Windows Studio effects background effects and track the user's face and eyes. In addition, the new generation of power management will be through the new NPU project, to understand the resource utilization status including the processor, display unit.

     Overall, after Meteor Lake series processors imported the VPU core design, the GPU side imported the VPU with the ideal choice of media, 3D, rendering channels. In terms of CPU, it can reduce the pressure on AI workloads and reduce energy consumption. Vpus are currently expected to appear in all Intel Meteor Lake series SKUs in the future. In addition, for software support, there are currently including Adobe, Dolby, Microsoft, CyberLink and other software manufacturers, other will have more special effects function support to further support the VPU core design.
