Samsung's next-generation Galaxy Book 5 Pro premium thin-and-light notebook is expected to incorporate Intel's upcoming Core Ultra "Lunar Lake" processor, and Arc Xe2 graphics, which "Lunar Lake" implements with its iGPU solution. Intel is expected to debut both "Lunar Lake" and "Battlemage" toward the end of 2024. A prototype of this Samsung notebook is already up and running, probably using engineering samples of the two chips. It came to light as keen-eyed enthusiasts noticed new benchmark entries on the SiSoft SANDRA online database. Here, the processor is shown featuring an 8-core (4P+4E) configuration, while the iGPU features a 4 Xe2 core configuration, which works out to 512 unified shaders. The P-cores of the CPU tick at 2.80 GHz, the E-cores at 1.65 GHz, and the iGPU at 1.85 GHz.

In what is a solid hint that Arm-based SoCs such as the Qualcomm Snapdragon X don't just intend to serve as cheaper alternatives to x86-based U-segment processors from Intel and AMD, but also compete in the high-end on virtue of their performance and battery life advantages; Samsung is designing a line of premium thin-and-light notebooks around the upcoming Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite processor. Snapdragon X crams in the company's most advanced Arm CPU IP, and the latest generation Qualcomm Adreno iGPU; with Qualcomm claiming to offer 2x the CPU and graphics performance over x86 processors in its price-class, at 1/3rd the power (in other words, over 2x the battery life). It also packs a powerful NPU with 45 TOPS AI inferencing performance on tap. The Snapdragon X Elite is essentially Qualcomm's answer to the M3.

With the Snapdragon X Elite, Samsung has designed the new Galaxy Book 4 Edge, and WinFuture has some specs. Apparently the notebook comes in a 14-inch thin-and-light form-factor. The Snapdragon X Elite will be paired with 16 GB of LPDDR5/X memory, and 512 GB of NVMe-based SSD storage. Comms will include a 5G MODEM for connectivity anywhere; and possibly Wi-Fi 7 BE. Although we can't tell from the company images, it stands to reason that Samsung is using an AMOLED touchscreen display. WinFuture reports that Samsung plans to price the Galaxy Book 4 Edge at €1,759, which should put it in competition with several models of M3-powered MacBooks. The best part? The notebook is powered by Windows 11, and comes with a Microsoft-supplied translation layer for running legacy PC apps on it.

Samsung Electronics is making 2024 the year of the AI PC with the release of its most powerful and intelligent Galaxy Book product line yet, the Galaxy Book4 series.

The recently announced Intel Arc A350M mobile graphics card is now shipping with it's recent debut in the South-Korean exclusive Samsung Galaxy Book2 Pro laptop. The A350M is the entry-level Arc Alchemist skew from Intel featuring an ACM-G11 GPU with 768 shaders and 4 GB of GDDR6 video memory. This specific Samsung Galaxy Book2 Pro model is also equipped with an Intel Core i5-1240P Alder Lake processor and 16 GB of LPDDR5 memory. The Intel video drivers (30.0.101.132) included with the laptop appear to have issues correctly identifying the card however newer versions are available which should address this.

The laptop was tested in various synthetic and gaming scenarios with the Arc A350M (30 W) performing anywhere from 40% to 60% faster than the NVIDIA MX450 (25 W). The Intel A350M reached a maximum boost clock of 2.2 GHz during gaming with the card offering adequate performance in eSports and older titles. The Galaxy Book2 Pro model with 32 GB of memory and a 1 TB SSD (NT950XEE-XD72S) is currently available to purchase directly from Samsung Korea for 2,520,000 KRW (2,054 USD). Intel has noted that more laptops featuring Arc Alchemist mobile graphics should be launching worldwide in the coming weeks.

Intel's Arc discrete lineup of graphics card are set to hit the notebook/laptop segment first, and today's discovery is no different. BHPhotoVideo, one of the largest US tech retailers, has posted a listing of Samsung's Galaxy Book2 Pro laptop, spotting Intel's Arc discrete graphics solution. According to the listing, this model was spotting an undisclosed Intel Arc Graphics, 2.1 GHz 12-core CPU, 16 GB of LPDDR5-6400 memory, 512 GB of NVMe PCIe Gen4 storage, 15.6-inch 1080p AMOLED display, WiFi-6E, and came in just 1.13 KG body weight. All of this is packed at 1349.99 USD, which is an early sign of the structure of laptop prices carrying Intel's Arc GPUs.

BHPhotoVideo has now taken down the website listing; however, we still have evidence thanks to the leaker, which you can see below. For more information regarding the exact SKU and more Arc Alchemist data, we have to wait for the March 30th launch.

Samsung Display has announced that the world's leading certification company SGS certified its laptop OLED for gaming performance, which is featured in Samsung Electronics' latest laptop Galaxy Book Pro and Galaxy Book Pro 360. According to SGS's test results, the new Samsung Display OLED showed the blur length below 1.4 mm and the moving picture response time below 15.4 ms, both of which are crucial to enjoying dynamic and fast-paced action games. An LCD laptop with identical specs showed the maximum 2.1 mm blur length and the 26.4 ms moving picture response time. Its HDR contrast ratio, which quantifies the sharpness and the depth of an image, resulted in over 1,000,000:1.

According to Samsung Display, fast-paced video games that require higher performance often suffer degradations in image quality when played on a display with a long blur length, which could harm user experience. OLED has a very wide range of contrast thus offers more immersive gaming experience for consumers who favor dynamic, flamboyant games, Samsung Display says.

If the rumors coming from ZDNet Korea are correct, we are in for a surprise. According to the source, Samsung is preparing to use the Exynos SoC with Radeon graphics in the company's next-generation laptops lineup.

While there is little to no information regarding the specifications of the said system, we can expect it to be a fully Samsung-made laptop. That means that Samsung will provide display, RAM, storage, battery, and other components manufactured by the company or its divisions. This laptop is expected to replace Samsung's Galaxy Book S, which currently uses Qualcomm Snapdragon 8cx SoC. The new PC is going to be Windows 10 based system. For more details, we have to wait for the announcement.
