Intel’s Lunar Lake Processors Arriving Q3 2024
Intel ditches hyperthreading for Lunar Lake CPUs
Intel details new Lunar Lake CPUs that will go up against AMD, Qualcomm, and Apple

There seems to be less details on Lunar Lake then AMD's 9000, the biggest information I can find is that it include triple NPUs and be certified for MS' Recall and hyperthreading is disabled on the CPU. I'm going to go out on a limb and Intel will release a desktop SKU that has hyperthreading - they can't help themselves with this stuff. Its reported that the reasoning for disabling it, power and so the increase in performance of the P cores means they can do without it

Intel Lunar Lake CPU Significantly Outperforms Current-Gen Gaming Handhelds, Strong IPC Gains & Great Power Figures

Intel's Lunar Lake CPU has been tested by Geekerwan, revealing superb 15W gaming performance against current-gen handhelds.

Geekerwan did a breakdown of the first Lunar Lake soc’s performing at 15W and 30W compared to other soc’s in that power bracket, and it looks pretty good, better than Snapdragon X, but M3 and M4 are still in a class of their own.

It’s so sad intel can’t compete on any of the key pillars of….. power, performance, efficiency, intelligence.

it feels like Apple are generations ahead of Intel at this point.

That's Arrow Lake and not Lunar Lake.

D’oh! Oops. Well… They are the same architecture. I saw a recent Intel discussion, plus Intel‘s often lake code name, and obviously didn’t think hard enough about it.
