The demo showed an unnamedIntel Raptor Lake Refresh processorrunningUnreal Engine MetaHumansoftware. This is Unreal’s latest technology, through which developing high-quality realistic facial structures, including animations, becomes easy. Sadly, we did not get details on which processor it was, during the demonstration. I did notice that it was running on a Corsair-based AIO cooling solution.

This confirms the details we previously covered as part ofan internal leakof confidential data shared between MSI and Intel. Basically, the leak talked about ‘Raptor Lake Refresh‘ being the architecture for Intel 14th Gen CPUs. We also have thefull lineup details, which were revealed in a different leak. Here are some of the key models of Intel 14th Gen desktop CPU lineup that we expect to come out soon:VariantSpecsIntel Core i5-14600K6 P-Cores, 8 E-Cores (14 Core Processor)Intel Core i7-14700K8 P-Cores, 12 E-Cores (20 Core Processor)Intel Core i9-14900K8 P-Cores, 16 E-Cores (24 Core Processor)Intel 14th Gen processors for desktop

If you want to know more about the performance figures, check out the leaked performance of the Intel 14th-Gen Core i9 processor, which broke thesingle-core performance records in PassMarkand was spotted in aCinebench 2024 benchmark.

Officially, the company has revealed little information about its new desktop chips. Still, whatever we got from Intel hasconfirmed what we know from leaks. Intel majorly focused on theAI features of Meteor Lakeduring its Innovation 2023 event, also introducing thenew Arc integrated graphicswith ray-tracing capabilities. All these features of Meteor Lake are probably not coming to desktop platforms before 2024. Intel has confirmed that Meteor Lake is on the way todesktops next year. For now, we get the Raptor Lake refresh architecture.
