Intel Meteor Lake-P HWINFO, New Arc Xe iGPU And Early Engineering Sample Benchmarks

wccftech.com:

We managed to track down the rumored Meteor Lake laptop at Computex and were even able to get some diagnostic tools and benchmarks up and running. It goes without saying that this is an incredibly early engineering sample and any performance you see here is not at all indicative of the final product. It is only useful to get a glimpse of the upcoming hardware and set a very very shallow baseline for future performance comparisons.

So let's start with HWINFO. Right off the bat, we can see that this is indeed a Meteor Lake platform as it is running the Meteor Lake U/P/H PCH. The CPU features 6 P-cores, each with two threads, and 10 E-cores, each with one thread. This makes for a combined total of 22 logical threads. Two of the E-cores are supposed to be in the SoC (as opposed to the compute tile) based on prior leaks. The name simply reads Intel 0000 which is standard for very early engineering samples and the TDP is being shown as 28W.

This particular unit was equipped with 16GB of LPDDR5 DRAM running in dual-channel configuration (DDR5 is two-way so the software is reading it as quad channel). The CPU features an L1 cache of 1.6 MB, L2 of 18 MB and L3 of 24 MB. This particular ES sample has an all-core base clock of 3.1 GHz and a Turbo Boost Max of 4.2 GHz (likely single core and something that will almost certainly increase before the final variant). The stepping was B0.

Oh and we finally have our first glimpse of the new Intel Arc graphics iGPU. This features 128 EUs (which is a 33% increase over the last one with 96 EUs) and 1024 ALUs. The GPU clock is shown to be idling at 300 MHz. There was no way to test this because without drivers it wouldn't actually yield any real results. It also shows that 1GB of shared vRAM is
