Recent leaks suggest that Intel’s upcoming Meteor Lake processors could potentially achieve impressive boost speeds, although it’s important to approach such information with caution as it comes from unofficial sources.
The leak, originating from China’s Bilibili platform and shared by a reliable leaker known as ‘Golden Pig Upgrade,’ discusses the boost speeds of Meteor Lake processors. Notably, Intel is reportedly planning to change its naming scheme for these chips.
According to the rumor, the Meteor Lake Core Ultra 7 (not Core i7, as per Intel’s traditional naming) is expected to achieve a boost speed of 5GHz on a single core. The Core Ultra 9 is said to surpass 5GHz in boost speed.
At first glance, these boost speeds may seem modest compared to the speeds already seen with Intel’s current laptop processors. For example, Intel’s Raptor Lake mobile processors have reached speeds of 5.4GHz.
However, what makes these potential Meteor Lake speeds impressive is the context. Meteor Lake processors are designed for mobile use, and Intel is also targeting the desktop market with its Raptor Lake Refresh processors. Achieving 5GHz boost speeds in a mobile processor is a notable accomplishment and suggests promising performance for laptops and other portable devices.
It’s essential to remember that these leaks are not officially confirmed, and specifications and performance details may change before the release of Meteor Lake processors. Nonetheless, if these rumored boost speeds hold true, they could position Meteor Lake as a competitive option in the mobile processor market.
