Intel lays out its CPU roadmap to 2024 and beyond

Intel has provided some new details on its upcoming CPU roadmap during its 2022 Investors day presentation.

We already know a few things about Intel's 13th Generation Raptor Lake processors. They’re set to be released in the second half of 2022 and its clear they’re in a good state this far out, as Intel demonstrated a working system with a Raptor Lake processor.

It’s set to be an evolutionary upgrade over 12th Generation Alder Lake processors. It will include up to eight updated P cores and sixteen E cores, double the count of the 12900K. Jim Johnson, senior vice president and interim leader of the Client Computing Group, said that Intel is targeting a double-digit performance boost compared to existing 12th Generation Core Alder Lake processors.

Intel also teased some new overclocking enhancements, and although we long suspected it, it's confirmed that 13th Gen processors will be compatible with existing 12th Gen motherboards.

Perhaps the most interesting part of the Raptor Lake update was the reveal of an AI accelerator in an M.2 form-factor. It may not have much use for gamers but then Nvidia has support for its Tensor Cores which include AI functionality. Could such an accelerator be used in a similar way?

The big changes are set to come in the following Meteor Lake generation. These will presumably to be called 14th Generation processors and are currently scheduled to launch sometime in 2023. Meteor Lake is set to include a tile or chiplet based architecture, with multiple dies on the same package. The CPU tile is set to be fabricated on Intel's next generation Intel 4 node. As the design is highly
