Samsung is currently developing a new member for its Galaxy Book 4 series, named the Galaxy Book 4 Edge. This device is set to be powered by Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon X Elite chip.
Samsung's Latest Innovations
Moreover, Samsung appears to be gearing up for the next iteration of its Galaxy Book 5 laptops. Recently, the Galaxy Book 5 Pro was identified in SiSoftware's benchmark database, showcasing an Intel Core Ultra 200 series processor.
The upcoming Intel chip is anticipated to be based on the Lunar Lake architecture and is projected to debut later this year. Evidently, early samples have already made their way to laptop manufacturers.
Lunar Lake Architecture Details
The Lunar Lake architecture is poised to introduce a fresh design for Intel's CPU, incorporating four 'Lion Cove' performance cores and four 'Skymont' efficiency cores. This marks a departure from the previous configuration seen in Meteor Lake U, which had two performance and eight efficiency cores.
In totality, the chip will host eight computing cores, with benchmark results illustrating a base clock speed of 1.6 GHz and a boost clock of 2.8 GHz, although these speeds are likely reflective of early prototypes and are expected to enhance in subsequent versions.
Enhanced Specifications and Features
Additional details regarding the chip include two 12 MB L3 caches (presumably designated for performance and efficiency cores respectively) and 2.5 MB L2 caches per core. The device will also integrate 16 GB of LPDDR5X 8533 RAM.
Intel plans to outfit Lunar Lake chips with Arc graphics founded on the new Xe2 architecture. According to the benchmarks, the Galaxy Book 5 Pro variant will feature a smaller iGPU setup comprising 4 Xe cores, 64 execution units, 512 shaders, and an 8 MB L2 cache. While not as robust as the top-tier Arc iGPU, this configuration presents a notable graphics enhancement for laptops.
