While Intel was busy showcasing its 14th generation Meteor Lake processors at Computex 2023, others were already putting the same hybrid chips up for sale on eBay. A "new" mobile Meteor Lake processor (via harukaze5719) has surfaced on eBay for $999, and the seller has two available.
The Meteor Lake in question is a mobile variant, making it useless for anyone unless they have a compatible platform to host it. Meteor Lake will first come to laptops, which is how the marketing specialists managed to get their hands on the first Meteor Lake chips and put them up for sale. Intel has yet to confirm if it has any plans for the desktop computer. A leaked Intel roadmap claims that Meteor Lake will debut as lower-powered Core i3 and Core i5 pieces. A later rumor alleges that Intel canceled the 6P+8E configuration for the Meteor Lake desktop computer.
According to the eBay description, the processor is apparently a Meteor Lake P 6C+8A+GT2 model. P-series SKUs are explicitly designed for thin and light laptops, so they usually have a low TDP with reduced clock speeds. Older Raptor Lake-P and Alder Lake-P processors stick to the 28 W TDP limit, so it's likely that Meteor Lake-P will follow suit.
The Meteor Lake-P chip appears to feature six P cores and eight E cores. However, remember that there are two low-power electronic cores inside the SoC mosaic. Therefore, the Meteor Lake-P processor has a 16-core and 22-thread design, the same chip that Intel used in its Computex 2023 showcase. If we don't consider the SoC cores, Meteor Lake-P would have the same configuration as the flagship Core i7-1370P Raptor Lake-P that powers lightweight laptops such as the Framework Laptop 13.
