Intel is expanding its range of mobile processors with another new chip logo whose names make it clear that these processors are unlike any other in the 2024 mobile lineup.
The new Intel Core Mobile Series 1 chips are 15 watt U-series chips designed for thin-and-light laptops. They bring a speed boost over previous-gen U-series chips like the Intel Core i7-1355U, but they lack some of the features found in some of Intel’s other new U-series chips.
The new Core Mobile Series 1 chips are part of the “Raptor Lake Refresh” mobile family, which means the use similar architecture to Intel’s 13th-gen Raptor Lake mobile processors, first launched a year ago.
That means that you don’t get some of the improvements that come with Intel’s new Core Ultra U-series chips based on “Meteor Lake” architecture, like:
In other words, don’t expect a huge improvement in graphics or AI functionality over last year’s chips. . . and without the new low-power CPU cores, the new chips succeed on 10 cores and 12 threads (2 P cores 8 E-cores), unlike the Meteor Lake-U chips that have up to 12 cores and 14 threads (2P 8E 2 LP-E).
But the Core Mobile Series 1 chips have higher CPU frequencies than the previous-generation Raptor Lake-U chips, which deserves to give the new Core 7 150U processor a slight edge over the older Core i7-1355U, for example.
Put simply, it turns out that Intel has figured out a way to repurpose its existing architecture to develop its 14th Gen CPU lineup in a moderately confusing way, while also providing chips that would arguably actually have merit in CPU functionality compared to previous ones. Gen and Meteor processors. Flea Lake. . . while Meteor Lake lags behind in terms of graphical functionality and artificial intelligence.
Intel says the new Core Mobile Series 1 chips also have up to four Thunderbolt four ports and come with WiFi 6E and Bluetooth 5. 3 (as well as optional discrete wireless cards with WiFi 7 and Bluetooth 5. 4).
