Intel’s 15th gen Lunar Lake architecture leaks with Lion Cove+ P-cores, Xe2 iGPU, possible lack of Hyperthreading

Back in January, Intel revealed that the Lunar Lake (LNL) architecture is being designed for ultrathin laptops with the goal of preserving efficiency whereas guaranteeing all-day battery life. As such, the LNL CPUs are stated to focus on a 15 W or under TDP. Furthermore, it’s anticipated that the Lunar Lake chips will make use of an Xe2-LPG iGPU primarily based on the next-gen Battlemage architecture. Adding to the rising pile of Lunar Lake leaks, Moore’s Law Is Dead and Bioinic_Squash have ousted extra particulars concerning the architecture.

For starters, MLID means that the Lunar Lake CPUs will prime out at 8 cores with 4 Lion Cove+ P-cores and 4 Skymont E-cores. The leaker calls the LNL Lion Cove+ P-cores an “early implementation”. The leaker additionally mentions that the LNL processors could not get “working Rentable Units” which might be anticipated to seem in Arrow Lake chips.

Furthermore, MLID alleges that the “current Plan of Records” for LNL chips suggests a GPU tile primarily based on the Intel Arc Battlemage. To that finish, Bionic_Squash on Twitter experiences that the LNL iGPU options 64 Xe2 Execution Units (EU) and eight Xe2 cores. Sadly, we don’t know of the efficiency of these Xe2 cores. 

That stated, it could possibly be useful to recall that, based on a current Arrow Lake efficiency leak, the Xe-LPG featured contained in the ARL-S CPUs is as much as 2.4x as speedy as an Intel HD 770. So, it received’t be stunning seeing the Xe2-LPG iGPU inside LNL processors massively outperform the present crop of Intel cell graphics.

LNL IGPU will get 64 Xe² EU’s
