Intel Unveils Meteor Lake CPUs With Dedicated VPU For Faster AI Acceleration In Windows 11
Intel has announced that its Meteor Lake CPUs will be the first PC SoCs to feature a dedicated VPU to accelerate Windows 11 AI models.
Intel's Meteor Lake CPUs will be the company's first client SoCs to offer a tiled (chiplet) design that makes use of various IPs. The chip will offer a dedicated compute, graphics, SoC, & I/O title which is Intel's strategy for its future disaggregated chip architecture. One of the key components on these new Meteor Lake CPUs will be the VPU which will be featured on the SoC tile and makes use of AI-based accelerators to power Machine Learning & Deep Learning models on the next-gen version of Windows 11.
Over the next year, Intel aims to ship millions of units of Meteor Lake with its dedicated AI engine.
As Intel scales up even more with subsequent generations of products, that massive surge in scale and volume will put AI accelerated experiences in the hands of hundreds of millions of people and enable the intelligent collaboration, processing speed and capabilities needed to drive unprecedented change.

The built-in Neural VPU found on Meteor Lake CPUs is a dedicated AI engine integrated into the chip which combined with additional accelerators featured on the CPU and GPU can deliver a big boost in performance and make your overall experience better in several applications such as the operation of new multimedia features within Adobe Premiere Pro (Auto Reframe and Scene Edit detection).
“We’re excited to collaborate on AI with Intel with the scale Meteor Lake will bring to the Windows PC ecosystem. Together, we are enabling developers to use ONNX Runtime and related toolchains to run their AI models optimally on the Windows platform,” said Pavan Davuluri, corporate vice president,
