So, this is our first glimpse of Intel’s next-gen laptop CPUs. The final confirmation was found in the Device Manager, which revealed an onboard Movidius VPU – a feature we know is unique to Meteor Lake chips. The operating frequency is listed as 3.1GHz, but this likely hasn’t been finalized. With 16 cores and 22 threads (the ‘Logical Processors’ visible in the image), that means we’ve got 6 performance cores and 10 efficiency cores, since only Intel’s P-cores are capable of Hyper-Threading to double the thread count. This sort of placeholder name isn’t an uncommon sight among demo units seen at events like Computex, but what’s interesting is that the core and thread count are also listed – and we can extrapolate from those that this isn’t one of Intel’s current laptop CPU lineup.
