Core Ultra Leaves the Laptop! First Independent Interface LGA1851, Minimum Power Consumption 12W

Tue, Apr 16 2024 07:42 PM EST

April 9th, Intel originally planned to introduce a new package interface, LGA1851, with the Meteor Lake, also known as the Core Ultra generation. However, due to underwhelming performance, the desktop version was canceled, and it will only be used for thin and light laptops. However, unexpectedly, the independent interface version still arrived, but it is not aimed at the consumer desktop market.

Intel quietly released "Meteor Lake-PS", featuring the standalone LGA1851 interface, with dimensions of 45 x 37.5 millimeters, identical to the LGA1700 used in the 12th, 13th, and 14th generations.

This release primarily targets the edge computing field or, one could say, the embedded market. It will not be sold separately and is expected to be available for supply only in the fourth quarter. By then, the desktop version of the next-generation Arrow Lake will also be available, featuring the LGA1851 interface. ?url=http%3A%2F%2Fdingyue.ws.126.net%2F2024%2F0409%2Fa6d547b8j00sbo8o9000fd000go00b3g.jpg&thumbnail=660x2147483647&quality=80&type=jpg Meteor Lake-PS doesn't present significant differences in architecture and technical features. It still utilizes Intel's 4nm manufacturing process, with the CPU section comprising up to 6 multi-threaded P-cores, 8 single-threaded E-cores, and 2 ultra-low-power LPE-cores. The integrated graphics, Iris Xe, can have up to 8 Xe cores.

It supports DDR5-5600 memory, offers 20 PCIe 4.0 lanes, four Thunderbolt 4/USB-C ports, HDMI 2.1/DisplayPort 2.1 display outputs, Wi-Fi 6E/Bluetooth 5.3, and more. ?url=http%3A%2F%2Fdingyue.ws.126.net%2F2024%2F0409%2Fa17a87f6j00sbo8o9003gd000go00a8g.jpg&thumbnail=660x2147483647&quality=80&type=jpg There are a total of nine specific models, all part of the Core Ultra series. However, there isn't a top-tier Core Ultra 9; instead, an entry-level Core Ultra 3 has been added.

Among these, the HL series defaults to a base power consumption of 45W, which can be adjusted up to 65W or down to 20W, primarily depending on the baseline frequency of the P cores.

Core Ultra 7 165H: 6+8+2 configuration with 16 cores and 22 threads, featuring a 24MB L3 cache. The P/E core reaches a maximum frequency of 5.0/3.8GHz, with 128 graphics units at a frequency of 2.3GHz, and supports vPro.

Core Ultra 7 155HL: The P core frequency is reduced to 4.8GHz, with graphics unit frequency at 2.25GHz, and lacks vPro support.

Core Ultra 5 135HL: 4+8+2 configuration with 14 cores and 18 threads, equipped with an 18MB L3 cache. The P/E core reaches a maximum frequency of 4.6/3.6GHz, while the graphics unit operates at 2.2GHz, and supports vPro.

Core Ultra 5 125HL: The P core frequency is lowered to 4.5GHz, with graphics units reduced to 112, operating at a frequency of 2.25GHz, and lacking vPro support. ?url=http%3A%2F%2Fdingyue.ws.126.net%2F2024%2F0409%2F68de58e7j00sbo8o9000nd000go005zg.jpg&thumbnail=660x2147483647&quality=80&type=jpg The UL series defaults to a base power consumption of 15W, with a maximum of 28W and a minimum of 12W, depending on the base frequency of the P-core.

  • Core i7 Ultra 165UL: Features a configuration of 2 P-cores, 8 E-cores, and 2 graphics cores, totaling 12 cores and 14 threads. It comes with a 12MB L3 cache and offers a P-core peak frequency of 4.9GHz and an E-core peak frequency of 3.8GHz. The integrated graphics unit consists of 64 units with a frequency of 2.0GHz. This processor supports vPro technology.

  • Core i7 Ultra 155UL: This variant offers a P-core frequency of 4.8GHz and a graphics core frequency of 1.95GHz. It does not support vPro technology.

  • Core i5 Ultra 135UL: With a peak frequency of 4.4GHz for the P-core and 3.6GHz for the E-core, this model also features a graphics core frequency of 1.9GHz. It supports vPro.

  • Core i5 Ultra 125UL: Offers a P-core frequency of 4.3GHz and a graphics core frequency of 1.85GHz. Similar to the 155UL, it does not support vPro.
