Intel will release its next-generation architecture, Lunar Lake, later this year. In this blog post, we’ll take a deeper look at Lunar Lake and what it means for Intel’s future presence in the ultraportable notebook SoC market. We’ll also explore new designs for CPUs The microarchitecture that Lunar Lake brings Intel’s focus on performance per watt and mobile devices, and how they plan to use on-chip accelerators to boost enterprise workloads. Get ready to dive into Intel’s ambitious plans to…
Intel “Lunar Lake” a Ground-Up Architecture Designed to Dominate the 15W Segment
Intel is facing a tough challenge from rivals such as Apple and Qualcomm in the ultraportable notebook SoC market, and the company is working to meet that challenge with new architectures such as “Meteor Lake” and “Arrow Lake” which will disaggregate the processor into chiplets built on various foundry nodes, including ones that are external to Intel. The real ace up the companies sleeves is “Lunar Lake,” which is slated for release beyond 2024.
“Lunar Lake” is reportedly a fresh ground-up design for not just the SoC, but also the CPU microarchitecture, with a design focus on performance/Watt, and a focus on mobile devices. Intel has already brought Hybrid CPU cores to the PC, and with Arm partners loading their SoCs with three or more kinds of CPU cores; Intel could possibly give “Lunar Lake” even more [kinds of] Hybrid processing capabilities.
Another hint on the direction in which Intel is heading comes from unlikely quarters—”Sapphire Rapids.” Intel’s latest enterprise processors attempt to overcome the CPU core-count deficit to AMD, by incorporating various on-die accelerators—these are fixed-function hardware that accelerate specific kinds of enterprise workloads. Intel could give us another lick about “Lunar Lake” in its January 26 Q4-2022 Financial Disclosures Day.
Overall, the tech giant is looking to stay ahead of the curve with its new “Lunar Lake” architecture, which is designed to dominate the 15W segment and provide a boost to the company’s performance in the ultraportable notebook SoC market. With its focus on performance/Watt and mobile devices, Intel is positioning itself to remain a strong player in the industry. We will know more about “Lunar Lake” in Intel’s January 26 Q4-2022 Financial Disclosures Day.
