Intel announced that Arrow Lake and Lunar Lake will be released this year. Lunar Lake will have three times the GPU and AI acceleration performance of Meteor Lake.
SiSoftware Sandra now includes Samsung’s Galaxy Book5 Pro (model NT940XGK-DSD), featuring Intel Lunar Lake CPU and Arc Battlemage “Xe2” iGPU.
According to the specifications, this Lunar Lake processor is an ES sample, recognized by SiSoftware as “genuine Intel (R) 0000 1.60GHz”. This processor contains a total of 8 physical cores, which should include four P-cores (Lion Cove) and four E-cores (Skymont).
Intel’s next-gen CPUs cancel SMT hyper-threading, potentially limiting this 8-core processor to 8 threads, with 12 MB L3 cache, possibly expanding to 24 MB. On the other hand, Meteor Lake-U has a 12 MB L3 cache, whereas both Ultra 7 155H and Ultra 9 185H boast a 24 MB L3 cache, alongside a 10 MB L2 cache. ES samples operate at 1.6-2.8 GHz; the mass-produced version is anticipated to have a higher frequency.
The processor is equipped with 12 MB of L3 cache, potentially increasing to 24 MB. In contrast, while Meteor Lake-U offers a 12 MB L3 cache, both Ultra 7 155H and Ultra 9 185H boast a 24 MB L3 cache, alongside a 10 MB L2 cache.
Intel Lunar Lake will adopt the next-generation Battlemage Xe2-LPG architecture for graphics, with 4 Xe cores or 64 EUs, for a total of 512 ALUs. The core display operates at 1.85 GHz and has 8 MB of secondary cache.
Below are some features of Lunar Lake:
- Specially designed for low-power lightweight laptops, with a designed power consumption of 17W
- Lion Cove P-core+Skymont E-core
- Battlemage Xe2 LPG graphics processor architecture
- 4+4 kernel configuration (MX series)
- Up to 64 EU
- Encapsulating LPDDR5x memory
- The NPU performance is twice as strong as Meteor Lake’s
- Released at the end of 2024, mass-produced and launched in 2025
