Lunar Lake looks very impressive
r/thinkpadI think at this point I have issues with believing anything Intel goes to say. Back when 11th gen was coming out, they were all about how Iris Xe was going to be the best iGP ever released. Released...not even able to outperform the aging Vega8 in the Ryzen 7.
Then Alder Lake was being developed and it was supposed to take back the mobile performance crown from Ryzen. How'd that work out? Oh yeah, the 12th gen i7 U series was still lower performance than the Ryzen R5 5000 series.
Then Meteor Lake was going to rewrite the books on mobile CPU performance, iGP performance, and efficiency. Ok so the H series has a SLIGHTLY better iGP than Rzyen Phoenix/Hawk Point HS series. U series still behind Ryzen Phoenix/Hawk Point U series in every objective CPU performance and iGP performance. H is behind Ryzen Phoenix/Hawk Point HS in efficiency, and U is only about on par with Ryzen U, with maybe a mediocre small lead.
Eh, I'll believe the "bringing about a while new level" when it's released. Until then, it's "over promise, under deliver" the same as the last 6+ generations from Intel in mobile.

Lunar Lake + Snapdragon expectations for new Thinkpads
r/thinkpadLunar lake better be good with the amount of hype it's getting. Meteor lake is starting to look a bit forgettable.

Intel's new Lunar Lake CPU is simultaneously wonderful, weird and worrisome, but has the makings of an awesome handheld gaming chip
r/hardwareIt does look like a great chip .. particularly great CPU at low wattage .. and powerful onboard GPU.
All that AI compute .. it really remains to be seen if any or much of that is used :
AI on CPU, AI on GPU, AI on NPU .. all with different APIs .. is a developer nightmare - what API do you support / port your AI / ML killer app to run on ..
remember AVX512 ? .. meh .. VNNI meh .. now its AMX .. but not if you run on GPU .. or NPU ..

r/IntelArcLunar Lake power consumption when playing 4k video is just mind blowing, it only use 2.5w vs 28w on Meteor Lake. Also finally Arc iGPU has XMX engine which means we can use the best XeSS version like on Arc dGPU.
