Next-Gen Intel Lunar Lake CPUs to Deliver ~1.5x Better Performance over Meteor Lake: Report
A new rumor has surfaced regarding the Intel Lunar Lake architecture, which is expected to be used for next-generation Intel Core Ultra processors. According to this, the future Intel CPU architecture will provide an“almost 1.5x” increasein multi-threaded performance.
Popular synthetic CPU benchmarking toolsCinebench R23andGeekbench 5were mentioned by the source (@SquashBionic) who posted the details in an X post (formerly Twitter). If the rumor is true, thenew Intel Core Ultraprocessorsfor laptops will finally feature a much-needed performance increase.
In addition to this, the renowned hardware leaker@haruzake5719questioned this source regarding the aforementioned17Wspecification of future Intel Lunar Lake processors. Plus, it was stated that the configurable TDP (cTDP) for Intel’s upcoming new Core Ultra U-Series chipsets based on Lunar Lake architecture will be “extended” to 30W.
Wepreviously heardthat the chipmaker could be considering ditching hyper-threading completely on future Intel processor designs. Intel Lunar Lake architecture, which has the code nameLNL, as revealed by the source,will not feature hyper-threading.
By the way, the source is comparing performance against the U-Series Meteor Lake architecture. More rumors that we heard previously on Intel’s Lunar Lake architecture have been linked below.
Looks like even without hyper-threading, Intel could be gearing up to release incredibly fast new Core Ultra CPUs based on its new architecture. You can check out the specifications of the current-gen Meteor Lake architecture-basedIntel Core Ultra (Series 1) CPUshere.
This new generation may finally make me consider buying an AI PC, as my performance demands would be finally met. While the new Intel Core Ultra processors that were released recently brought several improvements, especially in the efficiency department, the performance didn’t impress me very much.
Intel’s Official Statement on Lunar Lake and New Core Ultra Generations
When Intel releasedMeteor Lake architecture, the chipmaker went ahead and also later spoke on its future roadmap. This showed that by 2025, Intel plans to release several new processor generations. The first upcoming architecture on the roadmap is shown to beArrow Lake, as you can see above.
According to Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger, Lunar Lake is targeted totriplethe AI performance. With Meteor Lake architecture, the company introduced the firstNeural Processing Unit(NPU) that specifically handles AI workloads. The NPU should getway betterwith the Lunar Lake architecture.
