Intel disputes that Meteor Lake would be delayed until 2024, claiming that consumer processors will be available in 2023.

Intel had an extremely difficult quarter, unexpectedly losing half a billion dollars due to a PC purchasing slump, and yesterday appeared to be more bad news — a report about manufacturing delays sparked rumors that Intel’s next big flagship processor, Meteor Lake, would be delayed until 2024, putting it up to a year behind schedule. (In a February investor conference, Intel said that Meteor Lake will be “powering up” this summer, with a shipment date of 2023.)

However, Intel today strongly denied such claims, with spokesman Thomas Hannaford telling that not only are they false, but that Meteor Lake will ship, debut, and be accessible to customers in 2023.
