Intel announced today that it plans to launch its next-generation Core Ultra laptop chips on September 3rd, just ahead of this year's IFA conference in Berlin.
This announcement-of-an-announcement offers few specifics on what the next-gen chips will be like beyond promising "breakthrough x86 power efficiency, exceptional core performance, massive leaps in graphics performance and... unmatched AI computing power." But we do already know a few things about the next-generation CPUs, codenamed Lunar Lake.
We know that, like current-generation Meteor Lake chips, Lunar Lake will combine multiple silicon "tiles" into one large die thanks to Intel's Foveros packaging technology. We know that Intel will use a mix of up to four E-cores and four P-cores in the CPU, a step down in core count from what was available in Meteor Lake. We know Lunar Lake includes a next-generation Arc GPU based on the "Battlemage" architecture that promises up to 1.5 times better performance than the current Arc integrated GPU. We know that at least some models are shifting to RAM that's soldered to the CPU package, similar to how Apple packages RAM in its M-series processors. And we know that Lunar Lake includes a boosted neural processing unit (NPU) for local generative AI processing, Intel's first chip fast enough to qualify for Microsoft's Copilot+ label.
