Islamabad, Sep 5: Intel has unveiled its latest lineup of x86 processors, the Core Ultra 200V series, promising exceptional power efficiency for thin and light laptops.
These processors mark a significant milestone for Intel as they are the first to be manufactured by TSMC, utilizing the advanced N3B (3nm) process for the compute tile and N6 for the platform tile.
Code-named Lunar Lake, this next family of CPUs consists of nine chips that are offered in Core Ultra 5, 7, and 9 configurations.
With four performance cores (P-cores) and four efficiency cores (E-cores), each model has an eight-core design that can support eight threads. Interestingly, this generation does not use hyperthreading.
With a performance rating of up to 48 TOPS, the most recent 6x Gen4 NPU allows laptops to process AI applications more quickly and effectively.
Starting today, they should start announcing new laptops that use these chips; the first batch of these machines should appear on store shelves on September 24.
