Intel will unleash its new LGA 1851 socket later this year, where it will be home for its next-gen Core Series 200 "Arrow Lake" processors... but it looks like we'll be seeing some Meteor Lake-PS processors also slotting into that new LGA 1851 socket.
In a new post on X, hardware leaker "momomo_us" spotted a new Intel Meteor Lake-PS processor tested for the new LGA 1851 socket, meaning Meteor Lake will be first into the new socket, not Arrow Lake. Meteor Lake was originally launched in late 2023 as a laptop-focused chip, inside, featuring an NPU for AI workloads.
Popular Now: Control Resonant becomes Remedy's top Steam launch, and even pirates are telling people to buy itAn upcoming iBase MI1002 motherboard is described as an "industrial motherboard with Intel Meteor Lake PS" with a render showing off the new LGA 1851 socket. Intel hasn't made its new Meteor Lake-PS processors official just yet, but if they're like their Alder Lake-PS brethren, we should expect Meteor Lake-PS processors to be aimed at the IoT market.
The specification sheet for the new MI1002 motherboard says it has a "14th Gen Intel Core Ultra Processor for 1-chip SoC socket," but the motherboard doesn't have a chipset because Meteor Lake-and the new Meteor Lake-S-don't need a PCH.
The new MI1002 motherboard features an LGA 1851 socket and two DDR5 SO-DIMM memory slots supporting up to 64GB of RAM. A single M.2 2280 is ready for a Gen4 SSD and two regular SATA 6Gbps ports. There are two additional M.2 slots, but they're for wireless cards that use CNVi or 5G/LTE connectivity. Wired connectivity is strong, with dual 2.5GbE ethernet ports: one powered by the Intel i226LM controller, the i226V controller powers the other.
