Intel Meteor Lake processors have marked an important turning point. Not only have they revolutionized the way processors are designed and manufactured, thanks to their tile-based design with Foveros 3D packaging, but they have also have transformed computing through specialization and hardware-accelerated AI.
With Intel Meteor Lake the chip giant has made the leap to Intel node 4, one of the most advanced that exists. This node change allows increasing the density of transistors by reducing their size, which translates into significant improvements in performance and efficiency. The Santa Clara company has maintained the CPU division into high-performance cores and high-efficiency cores, but has introduced two very important changes that make the difference.
On the one hand we have two new architectures, Redwood Cove in high-performance cores and Crestmont in high efficiency cores. These architectures have allowed a notable improvement in terms of IPC compared to previous generations, and this is important, because it allows an increase in performance without having to resort to an increase in frequencies, that is, without using brute force, with everything what this means in terms of consumption and temperatures.
To these two blocks of nuclei are also added: two ultra-low power cores which are located in the SoC block. These are based on the Crestmont architecture, and have a very important function, keeping tasks running deeper in the background, and also sustaining the system when it goes into sleep mode. This increases the degree of specialization of the processor, and has a positive impact on autonomy.
This specialization at the CPU level, with three blocks of cores that work intelligently to offer power or efficiency and adapt in real time to our needs, is accompanied by important improvements at the GPU level, since these processors use graphics cores based on the Intel Arc architecture, which are integrated into the GPU block and manufactured on the 5nm node.
The new Intel Arc GPUs used by Meteor Lake are optimized to work with a minimum voltage, but can reach very high working speeds, they have DirectX 12 Ultimate and Intel XeSS Intelligent Upscaling support, allowing them to offer a good level of performance in many professional applications.
This balance between power and efficiency is rounded by the NPU that integrate Intel Meteor Lake processors. The neural processing unit is a specialized AI component that is capable of achieving high levels of performance with this type of workloads, while maintaining extremely low consumption. Its power can reach 11 TOPs.
Lenovo shapes smart mobility with Intel Meteor Lake
Productivity does not only depend on the power of a team. Specialization, autonomy and security are other very important keys that can help us be more productive, since they will allow us do more things in less time, and will be key to reduce interruptions and the breaks when we are working.
A device with a processor that performs a lot and that only offers a few hours of autonomy is of no use, since we will have to constantly be looking for a place to charge it. The same thing happens with equipment that is not prepared to face the different aspects of current work, because they lack that specialization that Intel Meteor Lake offers, and this also applies to security, which in these processors is reinforced by the ecosistema Intel vPro.
Lenovo, always at the forefront of innovation and technology
Lenovo is aware of the needs of power, safety and efficiency that have SMEs, freelancers and large companies, and has been able to respond to them with three computers based on Intel Meteor Lake that combine all those values that we have seen with the good work of Lenovo in terms of design, versatility, functionality and quality in its laptops and convertibles.
ThinkBook 14 2 en 1 G4
This 14-inch laptop is designed to offer all the value of a traditional laptop and a tablet, as it has a touch screen that can rotate 360 degrees. Imagine everything you can do with it:
- Enjoy good performance without giving up excellent mobility and be productive anywhere.
- Interact directly with the screen to create content in a more personal way. Do you want to draw with a stylus? Go ahead, this equipment is fully compatible.
- Share content and make presentations in small meetings without depending on other accessories.
- Take advantage of the value offered by its AI support and all the advantages offered by the Intel EVO platform, which will make our lives easier.
With this equipment you will not have to worry about autonomy, since it offers more than 10 hours of autonomy, and is equipped with everything you need to make video calls. In terms of connectivity, it is also at a good level, since it is compatible with Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3.
It lacks nothing, and you can configure it according to your needs present and future with different RAM and storage configurations, as well as pre-installed software to enjoy a perfect experience from the first power on.
ThinkPad X13 Gen5
A work of art for professionals who need to have a high degree of mobility without having to give up good performance. A reference ultraportable that is equipped with advanced security solutions and is supported by the platform Core Ultra vPro to optimally cover even the security requirements of the most advanced companies.
As if this were not enough, Lenovo has reinforced its commitment to security in this equipment with ThinkShield, that offers more layers of protection that operate at both the hardware and software levels, and include encryption, human presence detection and biometric identification with facial recognition through the front infrared camera.
Autonomy and connectivity are two basic pillars to build a good ultraportable, and Lenovo has perfectly woven these two keys into this device, since we have support from Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.3 y 5G (optional). With it we can complete any work day without having to look for a plug, since it offers an autonomy of up to 17 hours per battery charge.
A laptop that is made to move is a laptop that is exposed to possible knocks and accidents. Lenovo knows this, and that is why it has designed the ThinkPad X13 Gen5 complying with MIL-STD 810H standardwhich means it meets the US Department of Defense’s military-grade resistance standards, and has passed extreme tests including shock, very high and very low temperatures, pressure, humidity and much more. It is a reliable piece of equipment made to last, and its weight is just 1.13 kilograms.
ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 12
This team is an example of lightness taken to the extreme. Lenovo has turned the tables with this ultraportable, which integrates a design of just 1.09 kilogramss Intel Meteor Lake processors, and combines them with high-performance memory and SSD drives, next-generation networking solutions compatible with Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.3, and 5G connectivity support (optional).
The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 12 offers everything a world of possibilities in a very compact chassis. Despite its extreme lightness, it does not give up anything, since it has a wide range of connectors, including its two Thunderbolt 4 ports, it has a 14-inch screen with 2.8K resolution, it has a high-quality sound system and It comes with everything you need to make high-quality video calls.
Security is also another of its strong points. This ultraportable allows us to use unlocking by fingerprint or facial recognitionand comes with the security platform ThinkShield, which gives it a set of advanced security functions that make it an ideal solution for any professional, and for any company.
It has also been manufactured in compliance with the regulations necessary to obtain the MIL-STD 810 military resistance certificationso it is prepared to withstand extreme temperatures, drops and shocks, vibrations, high pressure, humidity and other types of conditions typical of hostile and extreme environments. Reliable, long-lasting and with outstanding autonomy, since Despite its small size, it can exceed 12 hours of autonomy.
