Meteor Lake-S with 6P+8E config confirmed canceled by Intel roadmap
The latest product roadmap featuring Intel client CPU series has been leaked by OneRaichu.
The leaked roadmap shows updates for 2023 week 18th (May 1st – May 7th), so rather a fresh update. It seemingly confirms the cancelation of a specific Meteor Lake-S die for desktop series. This roadmap is divided into S, H, PX, M, U and N series, so a full spectrum of Intel Core series for gamers.
The Meteor Lake-S with 6 Performance and 8 Efficient cores was long speculated to be canceled and replaced with an Arrow Lake die with the same configuration. Should this be a final update for this Meteor Lake-S product, it would no doubt confirm those rumors.

Unfortunately, the rest of the roadmap is masked, so the confusion surrounding the next-gen Core series has not been explained. The roadmap appears to span from 2022 to 2026, so this would otherwise be a great insight into Intel’s plans for the next three years or so.
The canceled MTL-S part was not the only SKU discussed earlier. There were also rumors that Intel might be preparing a 6P and 16E core, which would be offered alongside Arrow Lake-S with 8P+16E configuration. The next-gen Core series may not feature more cores than Raptor Lake, but the core design will be updated for what is called Lion Cove and Skymont hybrid architecture.
