Intel talks Lunar Lake CPUs: ‘We don’t believe you need to compromise’ [Video]

Intel’s latest Lunar Lake chips for laptops have made a big splash at Computex. The new CPUs use a radical new architecture and show impressive generational gains, which is something Intel needs as competition heats up from AMD and Qualcomm. To dive deep into the new designs, PCWorld’s Mark Hachman went straight to the source.

Mark interviews Intel’s Dan Rogers (Vice President and General Manager) and Robert Hallock (Vice President and General Manager, Client AI and Technical Marketing) on the big changes for these chips, designed specifically to maximize power and efficiency for thin-and-light laptops. The interview covers a lot of ground, so watch the full thing on YouTube if you have the time.

A lot of the big design changes in Lunar Lake, such as building on-package memory instead of using traditional SO-DIMM cards or getting rid of hyperthreading, are specifically for maximizing efficiency and battery power. “Our mission with Lunar Lake is we wanted to build the …
