IntelIntel has just launched its new generation of laptop processors, the Core Ultra 200V. Lunar Lake ” This is a complete overhaul of the SoCSoC to compete with M processorsAppleAppleor the all-new Snapdragon X Elite and AMD HX 300.
Among the main highlights is a new artificial intelligence accelerator (NPU), a necessary element to obtain Microsoft’s Copilot+ PC certification. Intel announces a energy consumptionenergy consumption reduced by 50% compared to the previous generation of processors Meteor Lake. These new processors integrate eight cores, four high-performance (P-Core) called LionLion Coveand four low-consumption (E-Core) called Skymont.
A brand new graphics chip
Intel specified a performance increase by wattwattmultiplied by 2.29 compared to Meteor Lakeand 1.2 times that of the Snapdragon X Elite. Each processor Lunar Lake comes with 16 or 32 GB of RAMRAM LPDDDR5, as well as a graphics chip with the new architecture BattlemageThe latter would offer 31% more power than the architecture Arc Alchemist and 61% more than the Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite. In total, there are nine different models: four versions each in two variants integrating 16 or 32 GB, as well as the Intel Core Ultra 9 288V, the most powerful model.
Regarding performance, the manufacturer indicates that its Intel Core Ultra 9 288V can reach 39 frames per second (FPS) in Cyberpunk 2077, 66 FPS in Diablo IV or 92 FPS in MinecraftMinecraft (without specifying the settings and definition). Note that this model has a minimum consumption of 17 watts, compared to only 8 watts for the other models Lunar Lakewhich will have an impact on battery life. More than 80 laptop models are expected to integrate the processors Lunar Lake including Dell with its XPSXPS 13 or even Asus and its Zenbook S 14.
