This year, Intel will release a family of Lunar Lake processors designed for use in thin and light laptops. Samples of the new CPUs are already being actively tested by the chipmaker and his partners, thanks to which details about one of these “stones” have appeared on the Internet. We are talking about the A1 stepping model with eight physical cores.
Intel Lunar Lake sample
The arsenal of the above-mentioned Intel Lunar Lake instance has four P- and E-cores, and in both cases there is no support for Hyper-Threading technology. Let us add that earlier rumors surfaced about a possible abandonment of multi-threading in the next generation of CPU Core, and we are also talking about the Arrow Lake family. The Lunar Lake engineering sample operated at a frequency from 1.8 to 2.8 GHz. It is characterized by the following amount of cache memory:
L1 cache – 832 KB (112 KB per P-core and 96 KB per E-core); L2 cache – 14 MB (2.5 MB per P-core and 4 MB for a cluster of four E-cores); L3 cache – 12 MB.
We talked about the main features of Intel Lunar Lake mobile processors in a separate article. They will use a multi-chip layout, and LPDDR5X-8533 memory chips will be soldered on one PCB next to the crystals. Intel expects to significantly increase the speed of the NPU unit to accelerate machine learning operations and integrated graphics, the computing power of which will reach 3.8 teraflops. The official release is scheduled for the second half of the year.
