They're merely rebranded Intel Core 13th Gen chips, with a performance difference around 1% at the same clock frequency. Reviewers found their CPUIDs report the same model and even stepping. Some rumors previously claimed possible minor improvements to the on-die memory controller or voltage regulation, but both turned out to be false. The only differences are slightly increased clock frequencies, and also slightly increased L2 and L3 cache sizes in some lower-end SKUs (that were already physically present on the silicon but previously fused off in cheaper models). Thus, think of them as some new SKUs in the 13th Gen product line with slightly higher specs at the same MSRP (but may or may not be cheaper at retail prices).
Apparently the reason is that Intel was experiencing production difficulties on Meteor Lake, so this new generation is skipped for desktops in favor of an exclusive launch for mobile (and HTPC desktops) platforms. Wait until December 14th, 2023 for the real new CPUs.
- baal80spam 3y agoThis is correct. Here's a nice and comprehensive rundown https://www.techspot.com/review/2749-intel-core-14th-gen-cpus/ https://www.techspot.com/review/2749-intel-core-14th-gen-cpu... The power consumption seems really high.

- anticensor 3y agoI would have never thought I would have to keep separate summer and winter tunings for my CPU and memory.
- xctr94 3y agoWait for Intel Lake Michigan, which freezes in winter and stays relatively cool in summer. I jest, but I don’t understand how they’re getting power regulation so hit-and-miss.

- segfaultbuserr 3y agoIntel's 10 nm process node was ill-fated, leading to the "14 nm++++" jokes. But at least Intel finally overcame the problems and delivered 10 nm Enhanced SuperFin (now branded Intel 7) in 12th and 13th Gen CPUs with competitive performance. The upcoming mobile-only Meteor Lake uses the new Intel 4 process node, which seems to start having production problems again. But Intel said they're fairly confident that they'll soon announce Arrow Lake CPUs at the end of 2024 using the next Intel 20A process node - in other words, moving across three process nodes in three years. Good luck Intel.
