A new member has been added to Intel’s Lunar Lake family, designed for lightweight and thin systems. The Core Ultra 7 254V model has been listed in PassMark, FurMark, and Vulkan API databases. This new processor stands out as a more budget-friendly option compared to the previously seen high-end models, the 268V and 256V.

Intel introduces its new Lunar Lake model

The Core Ultra 7 254V features an 8-core (4P+4E) architecture, 8 threads, and 12MB of L3 cache. The processor operates at 17W PL1 and 30W PL2 power limits. According to PassMark data, the 254V model scores approximately 12.8 percent lower than the 268V.

This difference is due to the chip’s lower clock speeds and memory configuration. The Arc 140V GPU, which comes bundled with the processor, produces 1,152 points in the FurMark test at a clock speed of 2.0 GHz. This value is quite similar to the other models in the series.

The biggest uncertainty about the F254V model is its memory configuration. While the 268V models feature 32GB of LPDDR5X-8533 packaged memory, this capacity drops to 16GB in the 26xV series. If the 254V also comes with 16GB of memory, the most significant difference from the 268V will be its price-performance ratio. Intel has not yet made an official statement on the matter. The processor has not yet been seen in a commercial product.

Intel’s expansion of the Lunar Lake family with this new model is seen as a strategy to strengthen the company’s position in the light and thin laptop market. The addition of a more affordable option to the series, previously known for its high-end performance, suggests that Intel is looking to intensify competition in this segment.

Although questions remain about the memory capacity of the Core Ultra 7 254V, the launch of this chip may lead to more price-performance-oriented laptop options for consumers.
