Don't panic about the six P-core Intel Meteor Lake CPU rumours, they're not quite what they seem...
But what won't happen is a Core i9 14900K CPU with six Performance-cores. Instead, Intel will restrict Meteor Lake to cheaper, more mainstream Core i5 and perhaps i7 models. Exactly how Intel finesses the product stack to allow for this remains to be seen. It's possible Intel will launch some tweaked high-end Raptor Lake refresh chips to keep high end products looking moderately fresh when Meteor Lake CPUs appear further down the range.
For 2024, of course, Intel has yet another new architecture known as Arrow Lake inked into its public roadmaps. All expectations are that Arrow Lake will offer the full compliment of eight high-clocked Performance-cores. To understand what's going on here, it's worth remembering that this won't be the first time that Intel has a mishmash of CPU architectures and process nodes for sale at the same time. It also won't be the first time Intel decides to go with a relatively conservative design for its first CPU on a new process node.
Indeed, the rumours also suggest that Meteor Lake may be lower clocked than Raptor Lake, albeit with some IPC improvements to offset that. When you combine the lower core count and lower clocks, you get a picture of a fairly tentative early Intel 4 CPU tile with the second-gen Arrow Lake CPU tile making a more confident move back to more cores and higher clocks on then more mature Intel 4 process.
