Core Ultra Series 2: In Lunar Lake, Intel introduces its most efficient x86 CPU yet

[Redaktion]

Efficiency, efficiency, efficiency: Intel's focus with the new Core Ultra 200V chips was clear. But even when it comes to performance, the new Core Ultra Series 2 CPUs will trump the previous Meteor Lake U chips. Shortly before IFA 2024 begins, Intel has unveiled the last outstanding specs of the new CPU series, including the Lunar Lake SKU table.

It's funny the news about Intel 15 being compared to Intel 14, which are crap in every aspect. The slides compare it to Qualcomm and last year's AMD Ryzen, but they don't compare it to this year's AMD Ryzen AI 9 370 HX, since the difference between the Ryzen 300 series vs 200 series is huge.
I want to see more comparisons, but with processors from this year and not from last year.

You didn't watch all the slides. They did compare it with the AMD 370HX.

All these declarations are dummy until people really check real laptops. And let me remind you -- Lunar Lake has - 32GB RAM, Zen4 Phoenix/Zen5 has 256GB in 2 slots ...

Already on the slides it is clearly visible that the new one does not claim to be increased performance, because It is strongly clamped by TDP (which I generally approve and wrote about it many times), but Intel itself stepped on eggs (sorry, rake), engaged in impudent cheater by consumption starting from the 12th series, in order to somehow shine in a multi-thread performance vs. Zen2/3/4. Naturally with 1.5-2 times the worst performance of 1W.

Now Intel is forced to throw off consumption (including because the new chips simply cannot disperse normally with an increase in consumption as the old Alder/Raptor Lake) at times and the result of the face - we are now perhaps in Zen5 Strix Halo for game platforms and HEDT will see more than 5000 points in the Cinebench R15 in a multi-thread  test.

This whole series, even "Core Ultra 9" (Base TDP only 30W), is essentially budget chips for office laptops, but not for game laptops and workstations (HEDT). But what is Intel to offer for HEDT? Something that is exactly faster than the king of laptop processors- 7945HX, but with the new technical process? It looks like nothing..

I am bored - we are waiting for Zen5 Strix Halo with a 256-bit memory controller and look at its real performance. And Lunar Lake will leave hipsters in cafes and housewives.

The moderator/s of this site is a cheap bastards who is simply taking revenge for the harsh truth of a person who is many times smarter than he is.

Deleting such truthful comments only proves them bastard nature, and since the management agrees with him in this, it means they are the same mentally.

I did not start this war - you did. You will have to clean it up.
