Intel sends word that they have taped in their forthcoming 7 nm Meteor Lake compute tile. Basically this entails that they're ready to fabricate the chip. A tape out actually is the first series-produced. 

Meteor Lake (MTL) is very likely the 14th Generation series Core processors which should see a release somewhere in 2023. Here Intel makes a move towards 7nm, based on an Enhanced SuperFin node. Meteor Lake will also be a hybrid series with a mix of big and little energy-friendly cores. These processors would be pin compatible with the pending Alder Lake reviews, and thus would fit on a Series 600 motherboard.

Great way to start the week! We are taping in our 7 nm Meteor Lake compute tile right now.

A well-deserved celebration by the team on this milestone.
