Intel’s next-generation “Intel 4” process is well on its way to volume production in 2H 2022, according to the latest information from DigiTimes.

The site reports that “Intel 4, officially known as Intel’s 7 nm process, is on track to prepare for volume production in the second half of 2022, according to the chip vendor.” Intel has lagged behind in its process node for years, but little by little it has been playing catch up … the Intel 4 process node is a 7 nm node renamed Intel, because you know it.
But the new Intel 4 process node is the star of the program when it comes to the next-generation 14th-generation Core “Meteor Lake” CPU series, which will be released in 2023. Intel will also use its next process node Intel 4. also for its enterprise-class Granite Rapids CPUs.
The next-generation Intel Meteor Lake CPUs will be the company’s first chiplet-designed CPU, joining AMD’s chiplet CPU family. Intel will build Meteor Lake on Intel 4, using a new flexible tile architecture with hybrid CPU cores, lower power, a next-generation graphics engine known as “tGPU”, and integrated AI acceleration.
Intel will use 3 main tabs in Intel’s next-generation Meteor Lake CPUs: the I / O tab, the SoC tab, and the computation tab. Intel’s Compute Tile on 14th Generation Core CPUs will package the CPU + GPU Tile, with the CPU Tile using the new hybrid core design, increasing performance at lower powers, while the GPU Tile is really something else .
Just a few months ago, in April 2022, Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger announced that its next-generation Meteor Lake CPUs had achieved the successful milestone of booting into operating systems and a web browser. Gelsinger said: “Intel 4 Meteor Lake has now successfully booted Windows, Chrome and Linux. The speed at which the computer was able to reach this milestone is a significant sign of the health of both Meteor Lake and our technology. Intel 4 “process.
Meteor Lake will be packaged to duplicate the graphics execution units of the Alder Lake / Raptor Lake CPUs (96 vs. 192), which means we can expect some significant GPU performance improvements with the CPUs. ” Meteor Lake “14th generation in 2023. In terms of power consumption, we are looking at 5W to 125W depending on the number of cores, which will be between low-end laptops and high-end desktop CPUs, and not all we can wait.
