This evening, the first Intel Core Ultra 200-series processors were officially released. We are talking about the mobile Core Ultra 200V line, also known as Lunar Lake. These processors are designed with maximum energy efficiency in mind and will find application in thin and light laptops, as well as portable gaming systems, such as the MSI Claw 8 AI+.
The chipmaker revealed the main features of the Intel Lunar Lake processors at the Computex 2024 exhibition in early summer. In short, they received eight x86 cores (4P + 4E) without Hyper-Threading support, integrated graphics of the Xe2-LPG generation, as well as a more productive NPU block for accelerating AI applications. The new products are made in the MoP (Memory on Package) design with LPDDR5X-8533 memory chips on the same PCB with the processor crystals. The RAM capacity is 16 or 32 gigabytes.
The flagship of the new family of mobile CPUs from Intel is the Core Ultra 9 288V. It features frequencies of up to 3.7/5.1 GHz (E/P cores), 12 MB of third-level cache, integrated Arc A140V graphics with eight Xe cores with a frequency of up to 2.05 GHz, an NPU unit with a performance of 48 TOPS, and 32 gigabytes of LPDDR5X-8533 RAM.
This is the only Lunar Lake processor with a 30-watt Processor Base Power rating. The other CPUs have 17 watts. The specifications for all Intel Core Ultra 200V chips can be found in the table below. Intel also shared its own benchmark results, claiming superiority over AMD and Qualcomm solutions in many areas. In any case, we recommend waiting for independent reviews.
Devices with the Intel Lunar Lake platform will go on sale on September 24. Some of them will be available for pre-order today.
