Lunar Lake is a processor with a built-in CPU, GPU, and NPU. Lunar Lake has a processing performance of 45 TOPS for the NPU alone and 100 TOPS for the entire processor, demonstrating more than three times the AI processing power of the previous generation processor and allowing various AI to be executed locally.



Lunar Lake has a processing performance of 45 TOPS with just the NPU, which meets Microsoft's definition of '

Hardware requirements for Windows next-generation AI devices .' Intel claims that Lunar Lake-equipped PCs can run AI functions such as Recall included in Copilot+ PCs.

Lunar Lake reportedly performed 1.4 times faster than the Snapdragon X Elite in the AI task of 'generating images with stable diffusion.' It also appears that the core performance is faster than the Snapdragon X Elite and the Ryzen 7 8840U.



In addition, Lunar Lake is also characterized by its low power consumption, and in the task of 'Microsoft Teams Meeting', the power consumption was 20% lower than the Snapdragon X Elite and 30% lower than the Ryzen 7 8840U. Intel describes Lunar Lake's power efficiency as 'power efficiency that overturns the foundations of x86 processors.'



Lunar Lake-based PCs are expected to be available in more than 80 models from more than 20 PC manufacturers in the third quarter of 2024.
