Lunar Lake CPU transforms the Gram 16 into a lean, mean, Copilot+ machine
LG has announced its latest thin-and-light laptop, the new LG Gram 16 Pro, which will be its first notebook to feature an Intel Core Ultra CPU from the Lunar Lake family, and it’s now being showcased over at the IFA 2024 show.
LG calls these Intel Core Ultra Series 2 processors, referring to the fact that they are the sequel to the original Core Ultra mobile CPUs, Meteor Lake, and LG underlines the boost in AI computing delivered here. The official name is the Core Ultra 200V range (codenamed Lunar Lake as mentioned).
This will be the first laptop from LG to qualify as a Copilot+ PC because the Lunar Lake chip is Intel’s first mobile silicon with a powerful enough NPU to meet Microsoft’s requirements – the Core Ultra CPU offers an NPU with 48 TOPS.
The NPU isn’t the end of the story for performance with AI tasks, though, and LG points out that the Lunar Lake CPU gets 67 TOPS courtesy of the integrated GPU, and with the processor’s computing power added in, you get up to a total of 120 TOPS with Lunar Lake’s top-end laptop chip.
