Spotted by @Olrak29 on Twitter, Intel's next-generation Lunar Lake processor has appeared in the SiSoftware Sandra benchmark suite, and an online database has revealed a number of details. Considering that Intel's Meteor Lake is still two months away from release, the appearance of the Lunar Lake benchmark is indeed intriguing.

Interestingly, Intel showed off a Lunar Lake laptop at the Intel Innovations 2023 event, and this data from SiSoft may be related to that demonstration. Data from SiSoft details the system as "Genuine Intel(R)00001.00GHz(5M20c3.91GHz+2.61GHz,3.3GHzIMC,4x2.5MB+4MBL2,2x8MBL3)", suggesting it is a "Lunar Lake Guest System (Intel LNL-MLP5RVP1)". As can be seen from these details, the Lunar Lake system adopts a 4+4 core structure, using a mix of cores from LionCove and Skymont architectures to improve performance and efficiency.
Furthermore, the benchmark report defines this CPU as a low-power laptop variant with a TDP of 17W. Although its base operating frequency is 1.0GHz, it reached 3.91GHz in testing. However, since this is likely to be an engineering sample, these data should be treated with caution.
An overview of the cache details shows that each P core has 2.5MB of L2 cache, and the E core adds 4MB of L2 cache and 16MB of L3 cache. Although Lunar Lake is expected to use Intel's Xe2-LPG graphics processor and LPDDR5 system memory, no details of the integrated graphics processor were disclosed.
Intel revealed that Lunar Lake is planned to be released on mobile/notebook devices in 2024, targeting leading performance per watt. ArrowLake processors for desktops may share the core architecture and are expected to be released at the same time.
