Intel's upcoming Lunar Lake "Core Ultra 200V" CPU has been spotted in an HP Spectre x360 laptop, featuring strong Battlemage Arc iGPU performance.
Intel will be introducing its Lunar Lake CPUs under the Core Ultra 200V family later this year. The new family will be targeting thin & light laptops and it looks like a new variant has been spotted in the form of HP's Spectre x360 2-in-1 which features a Lunar Lake-M SKU with LPDDR5 memory. It comes with 32 GB of on-package memory and the chip is rated at a 17W TDP.
While the specifications of the Intel Lunar Lake "Core Ultra 200V" CPU aren't disclosed properly, we get to see another preview of the Arc Battlemage "Xe2-LPG" iGPU, which delivers a big performance uplift over its Arc Alchemist "Xe-LPG" iGPU predecessors. The iGPU features 56 Execution units so it can be concluded that this is a slightly cut-down variant with 7 Xe-cores versus the 8 Xe-core variant that we have seen before. The iGPU features a clock speed of up to 1.85 GHz and comes with 8 MB of L2 cache.
Coming to the performance breakdown, the Intel Arc Battlemage "Xe2-LPG" iGPU on the Lunar Lake "Core Ultra 200V" CPU delivers a huge 2x performance increase despite being a cut-down variant. The Intel Meteor Lake and Arrow Lake iGPUs score around 1000 points in the SiSoftware Sandra GPGPU tests while the Lunar Lake ES chip scores over 2100 points. That's a massive gain within a single generation and if that translates into discrete GPUs too, we are bound to see some big uplifts.
Following are some of the features of Lunar Lake CPUs:
