n an interview with PCWorld Michelle Johnston Holthaus (Intel Executive Vice President and General Manager of the Client Computing Group) has clearly said that Meteor Lake chips are coming to desktops in 2024. The problem with this statement is that Holthaus did not actually mean a desktop socket but rather a desktop form factor which spans across a variety of systems.

Obviously, the vast majority of users will never call a Mini-PC or All-in-One system a desktop, however both technically can sit on a desk. These systems are not always marketed as desktop systems, and they often use low-power mobile CPU variants. That’s unlike Intel Core K-series clearly labeled and marketed as a desktop platform. Intel now had to clarify this confusing statement from Holthaus by explaining that the by desktop she actually meant All-in-One system.

Meteor Lake is a power efficient architecture that will power innovative mobile and desktop designs, including desktop form factors such as All-in-One (AIO). We will have more product details to share in the future.
