AMD and Intel both presented their next generations of processors at the beginning of June: the Ryzen AI 300 Series (laptop) and Ryzen 9000 (desktop) for the first, the Lunar Lake, aka the Core Ultra 200V, for the second. The company led by Pat Gelsinger, however, was more evasive than that led by Lisa Su: unlike the latter, Intel did not reveal its range. This had nevertheless been outlined by previous leaks; the VideoCardz site claims to have obtained more complete data.
Nine Lunar Lake references?
Our colleagues list nine Core Ultra 200V processors in total. The series would range from Core Ultra 9 288V to Core Ultra 5 226V. THE flagship would have the particularity of having a PBP (Processor Base Power), formerly called TDP, of 30 W, compared to 17 W for the other members of its family. For the PL2, in other words the maximum turbo power, no discrimination apparently, with 30 W for all references.
For the CPU part, all Lunar Lake will include four Lion Cove performance cores and four Skymont efficiency cores. The disparities between the different Cores are to be found on the CPU frequency side, which are more or less high depending on the processor rank.
Processing differences also concerning the quantity of LPDDR5-8533 available (remember that Lunar Lake does not use independent modules, but memory-on-packagedirectly integrated into the chip), the quantity of cores and frequencies for the iGPU, and finally, a more or less beefy NPU.
For the iGPU, the Lunar Lake variants will have seven or eight Xe2 GPU cores (Intel’s new graphics architecture, which should also be used in the dedicated Battlemage GPUs, successors to the Alchemist), again with varying frequencies.
Regarding AI performance, the processing power of the neural processing unit would go from 40 TOPS (the minimum to power Copilot+ computers, according to the criterion set by Microsoft) to 48 TOPS; As for the XMX TOPS, this value measures the AI capabilities provided by the GPU via the Xe Matrix eXtensions – again, there is heterogeneity depending on the processor.

Cores designed for a very specific segment
We will be fixed within a few months: according to information revealed by DigiTimes and the leaker harukaze5719, Intel will launch its Lunar Lake processors in mid-September. Keep in mind that this range only targets low-power mobile devices. It would coexist with another Core family, the Arrow Lake, intended for both more high-end laptops and desktop computers. Still according to the two aforementioned sources, the Arrow Lake series would land one month after the Lunar Lake moon landing, i.e. in October 2024.
