News Intel's Meteor Lake Platform Detailed: Up to 14 Cores, Xe-HPG GPU, Intel 4

It definitely reads good, that's for sure. I hope they can execute with no problems... I hope...

Also, how big will the chip (whole SoC) will be? At a first glance, it may be as big as Alder Lake's interposer dimensions, which is really big for mobile. Maybe a tad smaller, but it's gonna be a beefy boy, I think.

Regards.

That's a 1/3 jump in number of EUs on the iGPU.

LPDDR5-7400?

Looks pretty sick to me (in a good way).
As the iGPU is separate chip completely, (TSMC N3) will be interesting to see if we ever get configs with more than 128 (256/384/512 EU) Arc directly attached. Probably overcomplicates the chip stacking. Hope drivers can continue to mature as RDNA2 on the latest Ryzen Mobile/APU is a pretty high bar for Intel.

Ya I wouldn't really expect it to defeat RDNA2 in any significant way, but matching it would be good. Having said that, that LPDDR5-7400 might have a big effect on iGPU performance though. There's a huge difference in iGPU performance between a Tiger Lake Xe laptop with DDR4-3200 and one with LPDDR4-4266.
