The Future of Next Generation Processors
Recently, Intel announced the latest progress of the 14th generation Core - it has successfully started running in the laboratory. This means that Intel has debugged all the unit functions of the 14th generation Core to the point where they can be tested later.

The 14th generation Core Meteor Lake will be Intel's boldest innovation in decades, as it uses multi chip integrated packaging for the first time, with the CPU part featuring the Intel 4 process, which is also Intel's first EUV process Core processor. Considering that the 14th generation Core will not be released for at least six months to a year, being able to light up and start now means that the overall development progress is good. It is rumored that the release in the first half of next year is still possible.
From the released schematic, it can be seen that this 14th generation Core processor is composed of 6P+8E. On the left side of the CPU module is the IOE Tile, also known as the IO module, which is based on TSMC's 6nm process. At the same time, there is also the SoC Tile in the middle that uses TSMC's 6nm process. The Graphics Tile, also known as the GPU module, is produced based on TSMC's 5nm process.
Although the 14th generation Core is mainly composed of the above four modules, it actually has a Base Tile, which is manufactured using Intel's 22FFL, or 22nm process. This is the foundation of Intel Foveros packaging technology, as it does not affect processor performance.
