Intel will officially ‘launch’ its Lunar Lake laptop chips on September 3rd
Five weeks from now.
As we’ve discussed, Lunar Lake is an utterly overhauled chip that ditches the entire idea of plugging swappable memory sticks into your laptop, not to mention several of Intel’s previous ideas about how to achieve the best battery life and performance — plus a tripled NPU if you happen to have generative AI applications you’d like to run locally. We’re currently testing one of the first AMD Ryzen AI 9 laptops to see if “Strix Point” makes for a promising machine in this new climate, and Lunar Lake will be the final piece of this year’s chipwar puzzle this fall. But as usual for chipmakers, you shouldn’t necessarily expect “launch” to mean that Lunar Lake laptops will be available to purchase that day.
