This year, Intel will release not only Arrow Lake processors, but also Lunar Lake. The second family is created with an eye to maximum energy efficiency and is designed for use in thin and light laptops. Samples of new products are already being actively tested by the chipmaker’s partners, thanks to which the first information about performance has appeared.
Intel Lunar Lake sample
We talked about the main features of Intel Lunar Lake mobile processors in a separate article. These CPUs will use a multi-chip layout with a MoP (Memory on Package) design, that is, LPDDR5X RAM chips will be soldered next to each other. They will receive eight x86 cores (four Lion Cove P-cores and Skymont E-cores), an NPU 4.0 unit to accelerate machine learning operations, and integrated graphics of the Battlemage generation with 8 Xe cores.
According to unofficial sources, Intel Lunar Lake processors, when operating in 17-watt mode, will offer 50% greater x86-core performance compared to the 15-watt Meteor Lake-U. We are talking about benchmarks like Cinebench R23 and Geekbench 5. We add that Meteor Lake-U CPUs have a maximum of 12-core/14-thread configuration (2P+8E+2LP), while Lunar Lake, according to available information, will be completely devoid of Hyper -Threading, that is, they will get 8 cores/8 threads.
More details about the Intel Lunar Lake mobile platform will become known in the second half of this year.
