Devindra has been writing about the way technology intersects with our lives for nearly 20 years. He started the Amherst Student's first technology column, worked in IT support for many (many) years, and eventually moved to Brooklyn to cover New York's tech scene in 2009.
, but the company waited until Computex to give us more technical details. For one, they'll offer up to 48 TOPs of AI performance, thanks to an updated neural processing unit . In comparison, Intel 's previous Meteor Lake chips sported a 10 TOPS NPU, while AMD announced its Intel will once again have to play catch up in the AI PC space: AMD's Ryzen AI 300 chips will be available in July alongside Qualcomm's Snapdragon X Elite and X Plus.
In a surprising twist, Lunar Lake chips will also feature on-board memory, similar to Apple Silicon. The chips will be available with either 16GB or 32GB of RAM, and just like Apple, you won't be able to add more down the line. By bringing the memory much closer to the processor cores, Intel was able to reduce latency and system power usage by 40 percent.
Additionally, Lunar Lake will offer eight cores with revamped performance and efficient cores . Intel also says the chip features an "advanced low-power island" for efficiently handling background tasks. Clearly, both Intel and AMD are going to do whatever it takes to combat Qualcomm's Copilot+ hardware. Those mobile chips are inherently more power efficient — they reportedly get over 20 hours of battery life on Copilot+ Surface devices .
When it comes to connectivity, Lunar Lake will offer the updated standards you'd expect: Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, PCIe Gen5 and Thunderbolt 4. (It's strange that Intel isn't committing toGiven just how far off Lunar Lake actually is, Intel didn't have more information to share about specific chip models or deeper specs.
