Intel hasn’t formally launched its 14th-gen “Meteor Lake” processor lineup but, however we’re already beginning to see computer systems powered by the next-gen chips.
MSI confirmed off a laptop computer with a Meteor Lake processor at Computex this week. And Asus included a Meteor Lake Mini PC in a current product brochure.
The upcoming Asus ExpertCenter PN65 mini PC is a 130 x 120 x 58mm (5.1″ x 4.7″ x 2.3″) pc that will probably be accessible with a 28-watt, 14th-gen Intel Core processor.
On the skin the pc appears just about similar to the ExpertCenter PN64-E1 that Asus launched earlier this 12 months. However below the hood the corporate has made a couple of adjustments. The brand new mannequin will help DDR5-5600 reminiscence (up from DDR5-4800). And it’ll function next-gen Intel processors.
Whereas we’ll most likely have to attend a short time for particular processor names and have units, it appears probably that the processors will probably be part of the Intel Core P-series line of chips that are designed for usually designed for skinny and light-weight laptops or compact desktop computer systems just like the PN65.
Thirteenth-gen Intel Core P-series chips function to 14 cores and 20 threads (with 6 Efficiency cores and eight Effectivity Cores) and Intel Iris Xe built-in graphics. It’s probably that 14th-gen chips will proceed this development, however we additionally know that they’ll even have a brand new imaginative and prescient processing unit (VPU) for hardware-accelerated pc imaginative and prescient and different AI duties.
In response to the product brochure, the Asus ExpertCenter PN65 could have two SODIMM slots with help for as much as 64GB of complete reminiscence (32GB per slot), and help for as much as three storage units thanks to 2 M.2 2280 slots for PCIe Gen 4 storage and one 2.5 inch drive bay with help for a 7nm laborious drive or SSD.
Ports embody:
1 x 2.5 GbE Ethernet
2 x HDMI
2 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Sort-C
3 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Sort-A
1 x 3.5mm audio
1 x DC energy enter
At the least one of many USB-C ports helps DisplayPort 1.4 Alt mode, and there’s additionally a configurable port part that enables clients to decide on a further HDMI, DisplayPort, VGA, or Ethernet port.
Curiously there’s no point out of any Thunderbolt 4 ports, though the PN64-E1 has one. I wouldn’t be stunned if a number of of these USB-C ports grow to be Thunderbolt ports, however for now I’m taking the spec sheet at face worth.
Asus will even supply two wi-fi card choices: Intel AX201 or AX210. The previous helps WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2, whereas the latter helps WiFi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2.
Pricing and availability particulars haven’t been introduced but, however since Intel isn’t anticipated to launch its Meteor Lake processors till the second half of the 12 months, we’ll most likely have to attend a minimum of a short time to search out out these particulars.
