Intel to Introduce Core Ultra Brand Extension with "Meteor Lake," iGPU Packs 128 EU
Intel is planning a major change in its client processor brand extensions with its next-generation mobile processors codenamed "Meteor Lake." The company is working to introduce the new Core Ultra brand extensions, where "Ultra" replaces the "i" in extensions such as i3, i5, i7, and i9 in some processor models. An example of such a brand extension would be the "Core Ultra 5 1003H." Ashes of the Singularity benchmark leaks of the processors surfaced on social media.
The benchmark also detects 128 EU (1,024 unified shaders) for the iGPU powering "Meteor Lake." If true, this iGPU could offer performance that's in the league of an Arc A380 discrete GPU, with some performance lost to the shared memory setup compared to the A380 with its dedicated graphics memory. The iGPU clock speed is detected to be 2.10 GHz, and having 4 MB of L2 cache, the last-level cache local to the Graphics Tile. The detection string for the iGPU as reported by its OpenCL ICD reads "Intel(R) Graphics i gfx-driver-ci-master-13736 DCH RI (1024S 128C SM3.0 2.1GHz, 4MB L2, 12.7GB)."

Anyway, Celeron is the lowest of the CPUs from Intel and when compared with everything else Intel, it will look bad. Especially those models based on Atom cores only. But it is not Celeron's mistake when companies take this CPU and throw it on a 15,6'' chassis and pretend they have a competing option to Ryzen 3 or i3 based models.
Intel 5 Super
Intel 5 GTX
Intel 5 Turbo
Nah.. Just leave it at "i5" intel....
If I was them I'd replace the Core brand with Meteor Lake. They are moving to MCM, they are changing the architecture dramatically. Its been many years. Spice things up with a new name!
Then implement a simple system where the first number is the core count, the second number is the year. Then K if high performance.
Intel Meteor 2223K
Intel Meteor 1623K
Intel Meteor 823
Higher is always better, you can tell the launch year so you know if you are getting an old one, you can designate K/KS... to denote variations of the same core count. And because it uses the year its solid through 2122.
*this is satireThat will deeply anger Jensen Huang who might raise prices in RTX cards even more due to his bad mood. Please no! Oh God no! Hahaha.
But 40CUs would be wasted CUs/Wattage/Die Space on this.
Would be very powerful for NAS, small home theatre box, and ultrathin laptops etc.
