At CES 2024, Intel announced the launch of the Lunar Lake processor series in the second half of the year. These notebook processors offer many technological innovations as well as extremely fast memory. Arrow Lake’s desktop processors also remain on schedule for 2024.
At CES in Las Vegas, Intel not only unveiled new desktop and notebook CPUs, but also confirmed the launch of its new Lunar Lake and Arrow Lake processor series for 2024. It was previously unclear whether Lunar Lake would be released this year.
Lunar Lake processors are designed for notebooks and have a wide performance range, according to a leak Between 8 and 30 watts to cover. Intel integrated Up to eight CPU cores, consisting of four Lion Cove-P cores (probably also called Lunar Cove) and four Skymont-E cores. This updated architecture promises improved processing performance and power efficiency on Meteor Lake.
Battlemaze iGPU and faster RAM on chip
Another highlight is the integration of the Xe-2 graphics architecture, also known as Battlemage, which promises higher graphics performance than previous generations. Lunar Lake also relies on a tile architecture, where computing units and I/O dies are placed on a common Fovors die. This framework enables a more compact design and improved access times to the shared cache.
When it comes to memory, Intel is breaking new ground and relying on fast memory LPDDR5X-8533 from micron, Soldered directly onto the chip Processors come in variants including 16 GB and 32 GB RAM will be available with 32GB variant designed as dual-rank configuration for higher performance. Processors also integrate A more powerful neural processing unit (NPU), Thunderbolt 4 and USB 4 interfaces, PCI Express 5.0 and Wi-Fi 7.
Arrow Lake for better desktop performance
In addition to Lunar Lake, Intel has confirmed that the Arrow Lake desktop CPU series will also launch as planned in the second half of the year. Arrow Lake will refresh the Raptor Lake and replace one new foundation As well as a very Tile architecture Set performance and efficiency should therefore increase more significantly than between Alder Lake and Raptor Lake. Intel seems to be reliably sticking to ambitious production schedules for new node and CPU series after problematic phases in previous years.
