Intel debuts future Core Ultra: ultra-low power consumption of only 8W and comes with 32GB of memory

Intel released a complete new Core processor family at this year's CES, and revealed that the next two generations of products, Arrow Lake and Lunar Lake, will be released this year. ArrowLakee has been upgraded to the Intel20A manufacturing process, focusing on high performance. It can be used in notebooks, desktops, and servers. It is also the first game processor with a built-in AI accelerator.

Lunar Lake focuses on low power consumption, similar to the first-generation Core Ultra code-named Meteor Lake, which greatly improves IPC performance and increases NPUAI performance by up to 3 times.

At the scene, Intel publicly presented a sample of Lunar Lake for the first time and revealed that its partners had also obtained it and were testing it.

LunarLake continues to use the decoupled modular architecture introduced by MeteorLake, but is streamlined from four modules to three, but the specific functions of each are still unclear. The biggest guess is the main CPU part, the second may be the GPU part, and the smallest is the IO and other system modules.

in,The CPU part has a maximum configuration of 4P+4E8 cores and 12 threads, but it is unclear whether there will be an ultra-low-power LPE core.

The GPU part introduces the Xe2 architecture for the first time., of course, is also a low-power version.

The difference is thatIt also integrates two memory chips at the same time, and you can see the Micron logo on the surface.

In fact, Intel has demonstrated this design before. At that time, it was thought to be a version of the Meteor Lake family, and at that time it was a Samsung particle with a frequency of only 7500MHz and a capacity of 8/16GB.

LunarLake's power consumption range will have two levels, one is 17-30W, using active fans for cooling, and the other is only 8W, which requires no fans for passive cooling.

It seems that this is also a counterattack against Qualcomm Snapdragon XElite, which will be launched in the middle of this year.

Of course, Arrow Lake and Lunar Lake will also be named the Core Ultra series, but it is hard to say how to call them, especially how to divide the generations.
