Specifications of unannounced Intel Core Ultra 9 185H CPU appear online

Specifications of an unannounced Intel Core Ultra 9 185H laptop processor have appeared online. This will be based on the new Meteor Lake architecture and will have a total of sixteen cores, including six P-cores, eight E-cores and two LP cores.

The details about the Intel Core Ultra 9 185H have appeared on Chinese social media platform Weibo, commented @9550pro. CPU-Z images of a Samsung Book 4 laptop with the processor have appeared there, although they have since been removed. This shows that the processor has a boost clock of up to 5.1GHz. The chip is based on Meteor Lake, Intel’s new microarchitecture. The chipmaker is also switching to chiplet-like tiles in its consumer processors for the first time.

According to information from Weibo, the processor has a total of sixteen cores. The compute tile contains six more powerful P-cores with hyperthreading and eight energy-efficient E-cores without hyperthreading. The compute tile is produced on Intel 4, the chipmaker previously confirmed. This is Intel’s first process in the ‘5nm’ class and also the first node on which Intel applies EUV lithography.

There are also two extra LP cores in the soc-tile. These are completely focused on low power consumption and are used by the Intel Thread Director for basic background tasks that require little computing power, without having to activate the compute tile with the more powerful cores. This should result in significantly less power consumption. The soc-tile, and therefore also the LP cores, are produced on TSMC N6. Intel previously shared details about Meteor Lake and these LP cores.

It also appears that the Core Ultra 9 185H has 24MB L3 cache and a TDP of 45W. According to previous rumors, Intel’s new Core Ultra 9 chips will all have such a 45W TDP, also writes VideoCardz. The lower positioned CPUs are expected to have a lower TDP of 28W. Intel previously confirmed that it will change the naming of its upcoming CPUs. The ‘i’ is removed from the brand name, meaning that a Core i9 will now be known as a Core 9. Intel also said at the time that Ultra variants were planned.

Intel is expected to announce its Meteor Lake CPUs for laptops on Thursday, December 14. The company will cease on that date an AI Everywhere event.
