Intel details new Lunar Lake CPUs that will go up against AMD, Qualcomm, and Apple


Lunar Lake returns to a more conventional-looking design for Intel.

We’ve known about Lunar Lake for a while—Intel reminded everyone it was coming when Qualcomm upstaged it during Microsoft’s Copilot+ PC reveal—but this month at Computex the company is going into more detail ahead of availability sometime in Q3 of 2024. The compute tile combines all of the processor’s P-cores and E-cores, the GPU, the NPU, the display outputs, and the media encoding and decoding engine. In retrospect it seems like some of Meteor Lake’s most noticeable design departures—the division of GPU-related functions among different tiles, the presence of additional CPU cores inside of the SoC tile—were things Intel had to do to work around the fact that another company was actually manufacturing most of the GPU.
