Intel’s Meteor Lake-H mobile CPU has been spotted in a retail laptop ahead of launch. The 14-core, 20-thread processor uses a hybrid architecture with Redwood Cove and Crestmont cores. The leak comes from a European electronics retailer.
Performance testing in Cinebench R23 shows a single-core score of 2,100 and a multi-core score of 15,500. Power consumption peaks at 55W, with sustained performance under heavy workloads. Battery life tests indicate up to 10 hours of mixed use.
Meteor Lake-H’s early appearance suggests Intel is accelerating its mobile roadmap. The chip’s efficiency and performance improvements may challenge AMD’s Ryzen 8000 series in the laptop segment. OEM adoption will be key to widespread availability.
