A live demo on stage shows both working silicon for Lunar Lake as well as an operational 18A product.
If you read that headline and aren’t suitably impressed, let us elaborate. Intel’s next launch, looming on the horizon, will be the company’s first chiplet-based (or tile-based) processors, codenamed Meteor Lake. Those chips are coming along with an extensive re-branding effort, at least for Intel’s mobile parts.
After Meteor Lake will come Arrow Lake, which is expected to bring significant performance improvements for both GPU and GPU tiles over the first-generation disaggregated CPUs. Arrow Lake is also expected to bring chiplets to the desktop for the first time in Intel’s history.
Lunar Lake is the codename for the chips that are coming after Arrow Lake. If we were still following the classic « Core » family nomenclature, these would be the 16th-generation chips.
