Intel Lunar Lake “Core Ultra 200V” Officially Launches on 3rd September: Next-Gen CPU, GPU & NPU For Thin & Light Laptops

Intel has officially announced that it will be launching its next-gen Lunar Lake “Core Ultra 200V” CPUs on 3rd September.

Intel’s Next-Gen Lunar Lake “Core Ultra 200V” CPUs Headed To Thin & Light Laptops With Massive Architectural Changes

The Intel Lunar Lake CPUs will be a major breakthrough for Team Blue with a combination of new architectures and software innovations. The CPUs will be featured in the Core Ultra 200V lineup & target thin and light platforms including laptops, notebooks, handhelds, and Mini PCs. We’ve taken in-depth looks at both the CPU and the GPU architecture so let’s give you a rundown of what the new family is all about.

Intel’s Lunar Lake “Core Ultra 200V” CPUs will come with four major components, The first is the CPU which comes with brand new Lion Cove P-Cores and Skymont E-Cores, both bringing in big gains in terms of IPC. The GPU side will feature the brand new “Xe2” architecture which will bring new XMX capabilities to the integrated GPU platform and finally, we have the NPU4 which will feature up to 48 TOPS, delivering a total of 120 TOPS of AI computing power in a tiny SOC.

According to Intel, the Lunar Lake “Core Ultra 200V” CPUs will be presented during an exclusive event in Berlin, Germany, just a few days ahead of IFA 2024. The company will not only talk about the chip but officially launch the first platforms developed and made by its partners. The event will take place on the 3rd September at 6 PM (CST).

Ahead of the IFA 2024 conference, join Michelle Johnston Holthaus, Intel executive vice president and general manager of the Client Computing Group, and Jim Johnson, senior vice president and general manager of the Client Business Group, and Intel partners as they launch the next generation of Intel® Core™ Ultra processors, code-named Lunar Lake.

During the livestreamed event, they will reveal details on the new processors’ breakthrough x86 power efficiency, exceptional core performance, massive leaps in graphics performance and the unmatched AI computing power that will drive this and future generations of Intel products.

When: Sept. 3 at 6 p.m. CEST (9 a.m. PDT)

Where: Berlin

As for what to expect from Intel’s Lunar Lake “Core Ultra 200V” CPUs, the next-gen platform will be offering up to 4 P-Cores, 4 E-Cores, up to 8 Xe2 GPU cores and the aforementioned 48 TOPS of AI performance. These chips will also come in a very tightly packaged SOC design that will integrate the memory on the package itself. You will see Lunar Lake chips in 16 GB and 32 GB flavors with the top-performing LPDDR5x-8533 dies. The CPUs will be configured in 17W and 30W flavors and we have already seen the lineup details here.

Intel Lunar Lake “Core Ultra 200V” CPU Lineup:

On the software side of things, Intel will be bringing new optimizations for Lunar Lake through innovations within its Thread Director, Power management, and Security systems. With its NPU advancements, the Core Ultra 200V CPUs will also be the first to feature full compliance with the Copilot+ requirements, marking Intel’s proper entry within the “AI PC” segment to compete with the likes of Qualcomm Snapdragon X and AMD’s Ryzen AI 300.
