Following their initial reveal at Computex earlier this year, Intel has fully unveiled its new ‘Lunar Lake’ laptop CPUs at a press event in Berlin. The new Core Ultra 200V chips look impressive, offering significantly better performance at lower power levels than last year’s first-gen Core Ultra ‘Meteor Lake’, with graphics and AI performance being areas of particular improvement. In fact, the new top-level chips are even fast enough for RT gaming at decent frame-rates – something I definitely didn’t expect to be a focus of Intel’s presentation! <\/p>\n

Let’s rattle through some numbers quickly. Intel says that its fastest Core Ultra 200V chip has seen its single-core speeds improve by around 18 percent versus the last-gen, while the GPU has improved by 30 percent on average across a 45-game sample. Meanwhile, package power has dropped by 40 to 50 percent versus Meteor Lake, granting nearly a doubling of performance per watt, while AI performance has tripled in some applications. <\/p>\n

We all know that the proof of the pudding is in the tasting, so we won’t pass final comment yet – but Intel’s performance claims and hands-off live demos do smell great. Lunar Lake laptops are available for pre-order now from a variety of vendors – Acer, Asus, Dell, HP, Lenovo, LG, MSI, Samsung – but, as always, we’d advise you to wait for third-party benchmarks if you can. <\/p>\n
