Intel officially announced its 14th generation Meteor Lake series chips towards the end of last year. We have seen plenty of high-end laptops with Core Ultra chips since then. Aside from the performance-focused Meteor Lake chips such as the Intel Core Ultra 9 185H or Core Ultra 5 125H, the company has silently released another efficiency-focused chip – the Intel Core Ultra 5 115U. Surprisingly, the company didn’t even include it in its SKU release list.

Key details about Core Ultra 5 115U

This new Meteor Lake offering comes with a 2+4+2 configuration, that is two performance-cores, four efficient-cores and two more low power efficient-cores, with a total of 10 threads. These two performance cores offer a max turbo frequency of 4.2 GHz where their base frequency is only 1.5GHz.

The max turbo and the base frequency of the four efficient cores are 3.5GHz and 1GHz respectively. Speaking of the two low-power efficient cores their max turbo and base frequencies are measured at 2.1 GHz and only 700MHz respectively.

In comparison to the performance focused Core Ultra 5 125H (4+8+2 configuration), which powers recently launched laptops like the ThinkBook 14 2024 Core Edition and the ThinkBook 14+ 2024 SE, the Core Ultra 115U runs on lower peak frequencies for all cores. Notably, it is rated for a 300MHz higher base frequency for the E and LPE cores as compared to the 125H, probably to compensate for the less number of cores in certain scenarios.

The newly released processor comes with a 10MB cache. For context, the Core Ultra 5 125H boasts 18MB cache.

Speaking of graphics, the Core Ultra 115U can render up to 7680 x 4320 at 60Hz both with HDMI 2.1 and DP. Notably, the resolution output of this chip is exactly the same as the Core Ultra 125H.

Core Ultra 5 115U offers a base power consumption of 15W, which is nearly half of the 125H’s 28W. The maximum turbo power is also a lot lower at just 57W as compared to the 115W of the other.

Intel has announced in its first quarter 2023 financial report meeting that it is accelerating the mass production of its 14th generation Meteor Lake Core processor. The processor is scheduled to be launched in the second half of this year and will be produced using the Intel 4 process node. Its transistor density and performance per watt are comparable to TSMC‘s N5 and N4 series nodes.

The Meteor Lake CPU Tile will have a Hybrid Core Design

The Meteor Lake processor is expected to feature a new small chip architecture, mainly composed of three tiles: IO Tile, SOC Tile, and Compute Tile. The Compute Tile includes CPU Tile and GFX Tile. The CPU Tile will use a new hybrid core design to provide higher performance with lower power consumption, and the GPU is also built with a new architecture.

This new architecture will allow the processor to achieve high performance while consuming less power. It is a significant improvement from previous generations, which often struggled with high power consumption and heating issues. The new design will make the Meteor Lake processor more efficient, reliable, and versatile, making it an excellent choice for demanding tasks such as gaming, content creation, and machine learning.

Furthermore, Intel has also announced that it is advancing the Intel 3, Intel 20A, and Intel 18A process nodes, which are expected to offer even more significant improvements in performance and efficiency.

It’s worth noting that the top-of-the-line Meteor Lake processor is expected to adopt a 6P+16E configuration, with only two series of Core i3 and Core i5, and no Core i7 and Core i9. This is a strategic move from Intel to optimize the processor’s performance for specific tasks while keeping the price competitive.
