Intel’s future laptops will have memory sticks again

Lunar Lake was a one-off, says Intel’s CEO.

It may seem a bit of a head-scratcher, because Intel touted Lunar Lake’s on-package memory as a competitive advantage when it came to laptop battery life — boasting that it reduced the power consumption of moving data through the system by 40 percent. Lunar Lake was initially designed to be a niche product that we wanted to achieve highest performance and great battery life capability, and then AI PC occurred. If Intel axes them, it won’t come as a huge surprise — its gaming graphics initiative only had very limited success with standalone cards, and only ever managed to play at the ultra-budget end of the field, which AMD is now threatening even more.
