Intel's Lunar Lake laptop chips are faster, more efficient and even capable of genuine RT gaming
Intel has revealed its Lunar Lake chipset and the first laptops go on pre-order today. So what has changed?
If you prefer fidelity, you can opt for RT and get a relatively stable performance, with Intel's slides promising average frame-rates of 45fps in Cyberpunk 2077, 57fps in Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered, 66fps in Shadow of the Tomb Raider, 74fps in F1 24 and 79fps in Hitman 3. It'll be fascinating to see exactly the kind of performance we can expect when we can run one of these laptops through our benchmarking suite, but it felt noticeably smoother and I was able to put together a pretty tidy lap around Monza - while an opponent on the AMD machine was not nearly so lucky. Our greater focus will no doubt be on the next generation of desktop-class chips that are rumoured to keep some time around the end of the year, but the competition in the ultraportable space right now is truly impressive, with Intel joining Qualcomm, AMD and Apple in fierce combat.
