Codenamed Meteor Lake, the chips are good and bad news for Intel's chip manufacturing ambitions—they're simultaneously the first chips to use the brand-new Intel 4 process and the first of Intel's mass-market consumer processors to use silicon manufactured by someone other than Intel (in this case, TSMC). They're also a showcase for Intel's Foveros packaging technology, which welds together several pieces of silicon ("tiles," in Intel's words) rather than integrating everything into a single monolithic die.
