Intel has officially confirmed that it will be introducing Meteor Lake CPUs to its desktop platform in 2024, dispelling previous rumors of their cancellation. This confirmation was provided by Michelle Johnston Holthaus, Intel's Executive Vice President and General Manager of the Client Computing Group, during an interview with PCWorld. Despite previous speculation and leaks suggesting the cancellation of the Meteor Lake CPU family in favor of Arrow Lake, the interview transcript reads as follows:

[PCWorld - Mark Hachman] Q: Let me ask you, is there gonna be a Meteor Lake desktop?

[Michelle Johnston Holthaus - Intel EVP/GM of CCG] A: Desktop will come in 2024.

[PCWorld - Mark Hachman] Q: So you are confirming Meteor Lake desktop?

[Michelle Johnston Holthaus - Intel EVP/GM of CCG] A: Yes.

[PCWorld - Mark Hachman] Q: Whether or not you guys are returning to an era where there is gonna be a processor family for mobile and a separate processor family for desktop but doesn't sound like that's the case.

[Michelle Johnston Holthaus - Intel EVP/GM of CCG] A: That is not the case. I want one processor family top to bottom for both segments, doesn't everybody?

This confirmation is significant because it reaffirms Intel's commitment to bringing the Meteor Lake CPU lineup to desktop PCs. It also suggests that Intel intends to offer a unified processor family that spans both mobile and desktop segments. This announcement provides a fresh perspective on how Intel plans to launch its next-generation CPU platform, potentially including two distinct product lineups in 2024.
