The new edge-focused Meteor Lake CPUs are the first to debut using the new LGA 1851 socket, which will be used on the next-gen Core Ultra 200 "Arrow Lake-S" processors on the desktop late this year. The company has unveiled 9 new Meteor Lake-PS processors so far, with five of those being Meteor Lake-PS 15W chips, with four Meteor Lake-PS 45W processors.

In the 15W TDP camp, we've got the Core Ultra 3, Core Ultra 5, and Core Ultra 7 variants, with core counts ranging between 8 cores and 12 cores. All of these Meteor Lake-PS processors feature two P-Cores, with the rest of the cores being E-Cores and LPE-Cores. CPU boost clocks range between 4.2GHz and 4.9GHz on the P-Cores, depending on the SKU.
