The competition in the CPU market continues at full speed. Intel, which has been struggling due to complacency from being at the top for a while and falling behind its rival AMD, is working to widen the gap with the red team. According to the latest information, Intel’s 14th Generation Meteor Lake processors may soon enter the desktop market, as an LGA1851 Meteor Lake-S interposer was recently discovered. Here are the details…

Intel Meteor Lake-S CPU Tool Surfaces for Desktop PC

Intel’s 14th Generation Meteor Lake processors might make their way into the desktop market. While Intel‘s commitment to a socket isn’t as steadfast as AMD’s, the appearance of these leaks may imply that the company is preparing Meteor Lake-S desktop chips. However, without access to technical specifications or documentation, the exact purpose and features of the Meteor Lake-S processors remain speculative.

The leaked information indicates a potential increase in contacts compared to the current LGA1700 socket. This could lead to improved performance and compatibility with future hardware. Another leak suggests that the 14th Generation moniker is designated for the upcoming Meteor Lake processors, but it remains unclear whether these processors are intended for mobile, desktop, or both.

An unverified Intel roadmap casts doubt on the possibility of Meteor Lake coming to desktops in the near future, as it suggests that Intel is preparing a Raptor Lake Refresh (RPL-R) for a Q3 release. This could indicate that the rumored RPL-R will be the last to utilize Intel’s LGA1700 socket. With recent developments in Meteor Lake, including Linux patches and the confirmation of an L4 cache, it’s plausible that if a desktop variant is planned, it may not arrive until 2024.
