The Intel Core Ultra 7 155H Review: Meteor Lake Marks A Fresh Start To Mobile CPUs


y Gavin Bonshor on April 11, 2024 8:30 AM EST One of the most significant events of last six months in mobile computing has been Intel and the launch of their disaggregated Meteor Lake SoC architecture. Meteor Lake, along with the new Core and Core Ultra product brands, heralds the dawn of Intel's first chiplet architecture for mass-market mobile devices, courtesy of the Intel 4 node and Foveros packaging technology.

Included is a 14" 2.8K (2880 x 1800) touchscreen OLED panel with a 120 Hz refresh rate, 32 GB of LPDDR5X memory (soldered), and a 1 TB NVMe M.2 SSD for storage, all with the aim of producing a competitive and compelling highly-portable laptop. In September last year, Intel outlined the technical specifications for Meteor Lake as part of their Innovation 2023 event, showcasing their intention to depart from manufacturing conventional monolithic processors and instead opt for a multi-tiled design.
