This week, Intel announced that it will reveal its client PC platform roadmap at a webinar next week. Topics covered include Intel’s view of the overall addressable PC market, drivers, and products that Intel plans to reveal over the next few years.
Intel, the world’s largest supplier of microprocessors, suffered the most from softening demand for client PCs. But demand will eventually pick up, so Intel’s management needs to make sure the company is ready to meet customer expectations and needs in the years to come. Intel will be confirming this with investors. PC TAM and Platform Roadmap Investor Webinar (opens in new tab).
Indeed, Intel has a lot to say about their PC platform. Earlier this week, Intel reiterated its process technology roadmap and goal of having him able to manufacture 18A (1.8nm) in late 2024. The company mentioned several products for client PCs, including Meteor, in addition to production nodes. Lake CPUs are slated for 2023 and Arrow Lake processors for his 2024, but there’s no mention of Lunar Lake chips that are set (or was scheduled) for the node to debut in 2025. Hmm.
We have also heard rumors that Raptor Lake Refresh CPUs are expected to debut in August or September 2023, but Intel has not confirmed the existence of such chips.
Another important part of the PC spectrum is high-end desktops and workstations. Yesterday, Intel confirmed the presence of his Sapphire Rapids processors for workstations. However, they have not commented on how they plan to use the 34-core Raptor Lake-S silicon.
Either way, your webinar should be an exciting event. The webinar will be hosted by Michelle Johnston Holthaus, Executive Vice President and General Manager, Client Computing Group, and Christoph Schell, Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer.
