Just after Microsoft announced its first set of Copilot+ PCs, powered by the Snapdragon X Elite/Plus processor, Intel has teased its Lunar Lake client processors said to power the AI personal computers starting from the third quarter of 2024, with over 80 designs from over 20 original equipment manufacturers.
The company is estimated to ship over 40 million artificial intelligence-powered PCs in 2024.
“With breakthrough power efficiency, the trusted compatibility of x86 architecture and the industry’s deepest catalogue of software enablement across the CPU, GPU and NPU, we will deliver the most competitive joint client hardware and software offering in our history with Lunar Lake and Copilot+,” wrote Michelle Johnston Holthaus, Intel executive vice-president and general manager of the Client Computing Group.
Lunar Lake processors, according to Intel, offer three times more AI performance than the current Intel Core Ultra processors (Meteor Lake), with a dedicated neural processing unit capable of offering 40 TOPS of performance, along with the Xe2 graphic processing unit delivering 60 TOPS of performance.
Intel has been said to have achieved new strides in terms of power efficiency, and Lunar Lake processors are said to be far more power-efficient than their predecessors. Considering the picture, it looks like Lunar Lake processors will have integrated memory, similar to Apple Silicon, which is likely to enhance the power efficiency of these chips.
According to the roadmap shared by the company, it is already running the product wafers for Lunar Lake. The company is likely to share more information at the upcoming Computex 2024, happening from June 4 to 7 in Taipei, Taiwan, where CEO Patrick Gelsinger will deliver the keynote.
