The new Meteor Lake-PS processors are aimed at customers in retail, education, industrial, kiosk, and smart point-of-sale systems for brick-and-mortar stores, among others. Edge computing is a gigantic business for Intel, with over 90,000 deployments worldwide.

The new edge-focused Meteor Lake CPUs are the first to debut using the new LGA 1851 socket, which will be used on the next-gen Core Ultra 200 “Arrow Lake-S” processors on the desktop late this year. The company has unveiled 9 new Meteor Lake-PS processors so far, with five of those being Meteor Lake-PS 15W chips, with four Meteor Lake-PS 45W processors.

In the 15W TDP camp, we’ve got the Core Ultra 3, Core Ultra 5, and Core Ultra 7 variants, with core counts ranging between 8 cores and 12 cores. All of these Meteor Lake-PS processors feature two P-Cores, with the rest of the cores being E-Cores and LPE-Cores. CPU boost clocks range between 4.2GHz and 4.9GHz on the P-Cores, depending on the SKU.

Intel’s higher-end Meteor Lake-PS 45W processors have more cores, ranging from 14 cores to 16 cores, with the Core Ultra 5 models featuring 4 P-Cores, 8 E-Cores, and 2 LPE-Cores. The higher-end Core Ultra 7 models feature 6 P-Cores, 8 E-Cores, and 2 LPE-Cores, while CPU boost clocks are between 4.5GHz and 5.0GHz, depending on the SKU.
