Intel "Meteor Lake" to Debut Xe-LPG iGPU and Crestmont E-cores
Intel's next-generation Core "Meteor Lake" processors will debut the new Xe-LPG graphics architecture for its iGPU. A successor to the Xe-LP architecture powering iGPUs since 11th Gen Core "Tiger Lake," the Xe-LPG graphics architecture is tailored for small-scale GPU designs such as iGPUs. It sheds much of the bulk that the Xe-HPG has, which is optimized for discrete GPU designs. A leaked block diagram of "Meteor Lake" describes Xe-LPG as featuring a new "extended gaming mode," new Adaptix power sharing, which is probably a power-management optimization that prioritizes power share to the iGPU; and even more media encode acceleration capabilities.
The Core "Meteor Lake" compute tile will also feature the latest Gaussian Network Accelerator, GNA 3.5, which speeds up AI deep-learning neural net building and training. The chip features a purpose-build VPU (visual processing unit), similar to the ones in mobile SoCs, which improves the device's ability to recognize faces, or even augmented-reality applications. Lastly, with "Meteor Lake," Intel is debuting the new "Crestmont" E-core clusters that introduce an IPC improvement over the "Gracemont" E-cores powering "Alder Lake" and "Raptor Lake."

And, I imagine the big desktop CPU's will still be limited to 32 EUs?
i also read about it in some site, i can't remember where, but i don't remember if it was from Intel officially.
If you have a link please share.

lol, it was the same first photo i saw with Google search from my mobile, i should have applied zoom
(Also e-cores are bad, because of them the golden cores are crippled and the cpu isn't any smaller than if Intel did the sane thing of just using a density optimized library)
Security processors have been an unmitigated disaster that should never have been taped out. The only people that stand to benefit (DRM enthusiasts), don't even benefit because it doesn't work and never will.
Also did I mention that Pluton is already cracked? It literally is no better than TPM at its job. Except it connects to Microsoft and you can't patch it. Massive security upgrade there.
Regarding the complexity cores, Intel should have taken golden cove and built it against area optimized cells. Same ~30% area reduction, but without the extra complexity and performance degradation.
