Intel Launches Lunar Lake Mobile Processors with 40% Reduced Power Consumption, 1.5x Core Graphics Performance, and 120 TOPS AI Computing Power

Gamingdeputy June 4 news, Intel at Computex 2024 Taipei International Computer Show launchedNew Generation Lunar Lake mobile processors.

According to reports, Lunar Lake is positioned as the flagship processor for the next generation of AI PCs and will bring:

  • Breakthrough x86 Energy Efficiency:Up to 40% reduction in SoC power consumption

  • Excellent core performance: similar to single-core performance, half the power consumption

  • Big improvement in integrated graphics performance: 1.5x integrated graphics performance

  • Up to 120 TOPS total platform AI computing power

Lunar Lake Features

Architecture Innovation

Lunar Lake uses a new MoP (Memory on Package) packaging.Directly integrate LPDDR5X memory chips on the processor package, supporting up to 32GB capacity and 8.5GT/S speedwhich can save 40% of PHY power consumption and 250mm² area.

MoP Package

In addition, Lunar Lake continues the Foveros 3D packaging technology first introduced in Meteor Lake, combining the previous generation of CPU Tile, Graphics Tile, SOC Tile and IOE Tile Simplified into Compute Tile and Platform Controller Tile.

Lunar Lake Architecture

New CPU architecture

The Compute Tile contains an 8-core CPU with a new architecture:

  • 4x Lion Cove performance cores: 14% IPC increase

Xe2 Core Graphics

Unlike Meteor Lake, Lunar Lake's next-generation Xe2 core graphics card is also integrated into the Compute Tile.It can achieve 1.5 times the performance of MTL core graphics and a maximum computing power of 67 TOPS.

Xe2 Integrated Graphics

Lunar Lake's new Xe2 GPUs are superior to both Meteor Lake-H and Meteor Lake-U chips.Provides higher performance at lower power consumption.

Core display energy efficiency

In addition, the Media Engine has also been upgraded.Support AV1 encoding and decoding and VVC decodingproviding three display output pipelines: 1x eDP 1.5, DisplayPort 2.1 and HDMI 2.1.

Media Engine

New NPU 4

Lunar LakeBrings NPU 4, providing up to 48 TOPS AI computing powercompared to the NPU 3 in Meteor Lake, it has 2 times the energy efficiency and 4 times the peak performance.

New NPU 4.0

NPU performance improvement

After the full upgrade,Lunar Lake's total platform AI computing power is up to 120 TOPS(Gamingdeputy Note: GPU 67 TOPS + NPU 48 TOPS + CPU 5 TOPS).

AI Computing Power

Connectivity

Connectivity

In terms of connectivity, the Lunar Lake platform provides:

  • Up to three integrated Thunderbolt 4 ports

  • 4x PCIe Gen 5.0 lanes

  • 4x PCIe Gen 4.0 lanes

  • Intel Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4

In addition, it also supports Intel Unison multi-device collaboration and the recently launched Thunderbolt Share software.
