Intel Core Ultra 200V Lunar Lake Family Leaks: Nine Models with One Core 9 Ultra SKU

[AleksandarK]

During Computex 2024, Intel announced the next-generation compute platform for the notebook segment in the form of the Core Ultra 200V series, codenamed Lunar Lake. Set for release in September 2024, these processors are generating excitement among tech enthusiasts and industry professionals alike. According to the latest leak by VideoCardz, Intel plans to unveil nine variants of Lunar Lake, including Core Ultra 7 and Core Ultra 5 models, with a single high-end Core Ultra 9 variant. While exact specifications remain under wraps, Intel's focus on artificial intelligence capabilities is clear. The company aims to secure a spot in Microsoft's Copilot+ lineup by integrating its fourth-generation Neural Processing Unit (NPU), boasting up to 48 TOPS of performance. All Lunar Lake variants are expected to feature a hybrid architecture with four Lion Cove performance cores and four Skymont efficiency cores.

This design targets low-power mobile devices, striking a balance between performance and energy efficiency. For graphics, Intel is incorporating its next-generation Arc technology, dubbed Battlemage GPU, which utilizes the Xe2-LPG architecture. The leaked information suggests that Lunar Lake processors will come with either 16 GB or 32 GB of non-upgradable LPDDR5-8533 memory. Graphics configurations are expected to include seven or eight Xe2 GPU cores, depending on the model. At the entry level, the Core Ultra 5 226V is rumored to offer a 17 W base power and 30 W maximum turbo power, with performance cores clocking up to 4.5 GHz. The top-tier Core Ultra 9 288V is expected to push the envelope with a 30 W base power, performance cores boosting to 5.1 GHz, and an NPU capable of 48 TOPS. You can check out the rest of the SKUs in the table below.

EVERY single CPU in this list is 4P + 4E cores, which is hilarious.

But AI duh it's gonna be so transformative we won't need any cores....

 

[Assimilator]

Nobody care about laptop CPUs, though.

 

[N/A]

only the Ultra 9 has unlimited PL 30W, the U7 is locked at 17W for long periods.
What if a desktop processor followed the same principle. 170W locked and 300W. this would be detrimental to performance.

This is an instant deal-breaker. Not acceptable at all.

Moose muffins!

If these are being made on TSMC 3nm, they would be interesting

In other news: Intel finally admits that their new CPUs run on 200 Volts.

 

[kondamin]

Pretty surprising they are getting the broken n3b node up to 5ghz

In combination with their 20A process, which indicates the circuit breaker requirements.

So it's just like it was back in the Arrendale days, but worse.

Given that Meteor Lake's biggest SKU was a 16-core part (6 + 8 + 2), this does not bode at all well for Arrow Lake - especially given that Hyper-Threading is now gone! Unless Intel has managed to increase IPC by 100%, which they obviously have not, these CPUs are going to be far worse than what we've seen before.

Its TSMC's actually, there is no Intel's process in Lunar Lake

I think 16 or 32 GB is probably enough for the average consumer.

You missed my point, the bold and underlined point. I don't give a flying rats bum what people think is enough. I care about being able to upgrade and expand.

Arrowlake is intel 3 + tsmc
this is just tsmc and since tsmc sells their silicon at a premium it's most likely a cost and power saving exercise that intel kept it at 4+4

the H line arrowlake for laptops is said to be 24 core already so P8+E16

You missed my point, the bold and underlined point. I don't give a flying rats bum what people think is enough. I care about being able to upgrade and expand.

you missed the point that this is a low power solution for thin and light laptops.
where ram is soldered on the motherboard to get them as thin and light as possible already.

it changes nothing

 

[Chomiq]

Happy to see they stuck to a clear naming policy.

Yeah, I wonder if it does AI though

Upgrade? The benefit of this is that LPDDR5-8533 memory is likely much faster than regular SODIMMS..

When you need 64GB RAM+ on your laptop you're probably doing it wrong and you better use a desktop PC IMO.

Not sure what this has to do with Arrow Lake?

Now. Not in 4 years. (or 7, or 11, for those of these that survive).
8GB was fine 6 years ago.

Meaning, get the cheapest.

That's what I was thinking. Probably the reason why it is not upgradeable is because it creates a benefit which far outweighs the capability to put an unnecessary amount of RAM in a laptop.

If that's true, these are going to be such a mixed bag. There's supposed to be a 15% IPC P-core gain for Lunar Lake over Meteor Lake, but Meteor Lake topped out a 6+8 with HTT. So you'll get better single core, but it's probably not going to match on multi-core. Yeah, there's a more powerful GPU and NPU, but what will that actually amount to in real life use?

 

[Vayra86]

200 volts required for these CPUs now? Dayum Intel, that escalated quickly.
