Everyone gets a puppy.Ī quick reminder: PC sales are currently cratering after a pandemic-induced pop. Cash-strapped Intel looks for $3B in savings to pursue '5 nodes in 4 years' dreamĪs it always does with every new generation of product, Intel says VPUs and Meteor Lake are a huge change to everything about the PC – they will make the devices even more compelling, make the world a better place, and represent a revolution.Intel aims for lower-power GPUs as Nvidia pushes pricey energy guzzlers.Since when did my SSD need water cooling?.Intel to rebrand client chips once Meteor Lake splashes down.Other AI-related work will be offloaded to VPUs. GPUs will get to do jobs involving performance parallelism and throughput. The VPU gets to handle 'sustained AI and AI offload.' CPUs will still be asked to do simple inference jobs with low latency – usually when the cost of doing so is less than the overhead of working with a driver to shunt the workload elsewhere. Meteor Lake therefore gets VPUs, and emerges as an SoC using Intel's Foveros packaging tech to combine the CPU, GPU, and VPU.
