In this segment of the video, it is discussed how Intel’s Meteor Lake is a tile-based CPU, combining different components on a single chip. This includes main CPU tile, I-O tile, TSMC-manufactured GPU tile, and SOC tile with LP E-Cores for lighter tasks. The SOC tile also features Wi-Fi 6E, upgradable to Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, NOC for interconnecting components, Xe media/display engine, USB 3 and 4, Ethernet, NPU block, and more. The modular design approach allows for flexibility in incorporating updates and enhancements. The NPU showed impressive performance in machine learning inference benchmark, with significant power efficiency gains.

In this segment of the video, the focus is on the new naming conventions for Intel processors. The naming conventions include Intel Core and Intel Core Ultra designations, with numbers such as 3, 5, 7 indicating the power level. The processor number breakdown includes series, skew number, and suffix. The suffix (H or U) indicates power characteristics – H chips are power hungry, while U chips are for slim, low-power devices. The possibility of skew number reuse adds complexity, and the speaker expresses concern about the confusing nature of these new naming conventions.
