A new report may have revealed the launch date of Intel Lunar Lake chips for both desktops and laptops, which is expected to be between September 17 and September 24, 2024. If this report is to be believed , places the launch just before Intel. Innovation event, which lands on September 24 and 25.
The report, which comes from Useful life (reported by kitguru), also claims that the Core Ultra 200K 'Arrow Lake-S' will be available about a month later, alongside the launch of the first Z890 motherboards. However, the non-K Core Ultra 200 chips should launch in early 2025 with the B860 and H810 motherboards, and will likely be revealed during CES 2025.
This report coincides with the official news from Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger's Computex 2024 keynote that the Lunar Lake series would be launched. sometime in late 2024. This means we will equip AI PCs with the new chips during the holiday season.
The competition is heating up
What makes these launches of Lunar Lake and Arrow Lake especially interesting is that they almost coincide with the launches of AMD's Strix Point and Ryzen 9000 CPUs and Nvidia's next-generation GeForce graphics cards. This year we'll see some truly high-profile launches, which dovetails perfectly with the arrival of AI-enabled PCs.
Of course, Qualcomm's Snapdragon Now that we have so many players coming in, I look forward to seeing them compete for market share. Honestly, it's about time there was a major shakeup, and the results should mean these tech giants continue to innovate and deliver us the best products they can.
It already seems that Intel confident in its imminent victory in the CPU market over Qualcomm, since it is stated several times that the Lunar Lake will surpass Snapdragon. It claims it will offer 1.4 times faster AI performance than the Snapdragon X Elite and use 20% less power. It also notes that the NPU (Neural Processing Unit for AI Acceleration) will reach 45 TOPS (trillion operations per second) and the GPU will provide 60 TOPS.
While my money is on Qualcomm, as many manufacturers have chosen to equip their AI PCs with Snapdragon chips, and it holds the most promise for balancing performance with battery life, I'll keep my eyes peeled to see which comes out on top. . in the end.
