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.
