Intel's process roadmap to 2025: Intel 7, 4, 3, 20A, and 18A explained
Intel has outlined its new processes for the next few years, but what does it all mean?
Intel unveiled its Meteor Lake laptop processors alongside a Raptor Lake Refresh last year, and with it came a renewed commitment to the company's process node roadmap that it first published in 2021. In that roadmap, the company states that it wants to clear five nodes in four years, something that no other company has achieved in years. Intel's own roadmap states that it aims to achieve "process leadership" in 2025. Process leadership, by Intel's standards, is the highest performance per watt. What does the journey to the best CPU look like?
Intel is releasing Linux patches to enhance Meteor Lake performance and efficiency
The company claims performance will not be hindered by the patches
There have been high expectations for Intel’s Meteor Lake as the successor of Raptor Lake. The company has been presumably doing what it can to make the most of its new CPU layout, which consists of what it’s calling chiplets — pieces of silicon that come together to deliver the functionality of a whole processor. Intel is also seemingly trying to make amends for its attempt to capitalize quickly on its 10nm node. Rather than trying to roll out several advancements in a short period of time, the company has debuted a more thought-out manufacturing roadmap for the remainder of the year. Now, Intel has released a series of Linux patches to make sure it doesn’t speed past improvements that need to be made.

4 reasons 2024 will be an exciting year for PCs
2023 may have been a slow year for laptops, but things are looking way up for 2024 thanks largely to brand new hardware
Just a few days ago, I wrote about how 2023 was a pretty boring year for laptops, with most options keeping the same designs as last year while offering iterative performance upgrades. But things are set to be very different in 2024. With brand-new laptop designs, potentially revolutionary processors, and a big Windows update, it looks like it could be one of the best years for laptops in quite some time. Here are a few reasons I'm very excited about what's coming next year.
