Next-gen Intel Core Ultra chips with boosted GPU and NPU are coming in September


Lunar Lake will be Intel's response to Ryzen AI and Snapdragon X Elite chips.

Intel announced today that it plans to launch its next-generation Core Ultra laptop chips on September 3, just ahead of this year's IFA conference in Berlin. And AMD has already started shipping Ryzen AI processors, which combine a Copilot+ capable NPU with the company's new Zen 5 architecture and an updated integrated GPU (the version of Windows 11 that will actually enable Copilot+ features for x86 PCs should arrive later this year). And despite being marketed as the first in a wave of "AI PCs," Microsoft kind of pulled the rug out from under Intel and AMD, setting the Copilot+ NPU requirements to a performance level considerably higher than what either company had been shipping up to that point.
