In just a week, we went from only having one option for AI PC s, or what Microsoft calls Copilot+PC, to three. At Computex, Intel announced the new Core Ultra system-on-chip codenamed Lunar Lake for mobile PCs, which will exceed the minimum 40 NPU TOPS of performance outlined by Microsoft.
As noted previously, Intel shifted from four tiles – low-power, compute, GPU and I/O, to a two-tile configuration – compute and I/O. This change moves all the processing functions, including the low-power island for the E-cores and NPU, onto the compute tile. Combined with the memory and the need for more power rails for finer-grained power management, the Lunar Lake SoC is paired with four PMICs .
As we have seen with the other PC SoC announcements, AMD, Intel, Qualcomm, and even Apple are shifting SoC design to focus on not just AI performance, but AI efficiency. While it is still too early for applications to leverage this performance, it sets the groundwork for new applications like Microsoft’s Copilot agent/assistant and other applications to leverage this new found performance.
