Dave has been gaming since the days of Zaxxon and Lady Bug on the Colecovision, and code books for the Commodore Vic 20 (Death Race 2000!). He built his first gaming PC at the tender age of 16, and finally finished bug-fixing the Cyrix-based system around a year later. When he dropped it out of the window.
Intel has dropped some fresh details about its new Lunar Lake mobile CPU architecture, including some performance and power claims, but has stopped short of actually backing that up with any. Claiming it's not ready to show CPU performance at the moment, all we've got are some promises and the unexpected appearance of Microsoft Teams as a CPU benchmarking platform.
Intel hasn't said whether that means it's using more E-cores in the SoC Low Power Island, or whether the new Skymont microarchitecture is what delivers this extra compute performance with the same number of new E-cores. But it also potentially suggests good things for Arrow Lake, too. That's the new CPU architecture for standard laptops and next-gen desktops coming towards the end of the year and is set to use the same Lion Cove and Skymont microarchitectures for its Performance and Efficient cores respectively as Lunar Lake will. Though they will be reportedly—partly at least—built using Intel's fancy new 20A production process.
Though we probably won't be using Microsoft Teams as part of our own benchmarking suite when it comes to it. Sorry, Nick.
