Lunar Lake Has Set A new IGPU Standard

[@mmh6717]

You can get the same timespy score, whether plug in external power or not, just amazing 😮

[@AgentZeroNine1]

I love being recommended videos and articles with titles like "x86 needs to die", "ARM is the future", especially from people who have superficial knowledge on CPU architecture.

[@christianr.5868]

Ironic you brought up cpu architecture when it’s the worst part about lunar lake. The snapdragon has a better cpu, hopefully the X elite 2 is has a much better gpu to balance it out. That said, lunar lake is awesome. But it can’t really get more efficient without cutting out even more. Where as the snapdragon X elite doesn’t even have any efficiency cores, so there’s still a lot of room for efficiency and performance improvements

[@HDRPC]

Now x86 is the most efficient and has the best BATTERY LIFE.

Hope Intel comes back to being competitive!

This appears to be the beginning.

Don't think so, there are rumors about Qualcomm buying intel lol

It's a really nice piece of kit, it needs a side-by-side screen glare test in office ligting conditions, any chance?

[@74357175]

And the GPU is probably going to be good for local AI too

[@markhall3323]

I believe the ‘sacrifice’ is multi-core performance

[@akin242002]

10k to 11k on Geekbench 6 is more than enough for 80% of white-collar skilled labor if it doesn't overheat.

[@one_step_sideways]

@@akin242002 Also a used $350 ThinkPad T14 Gen 2 with a Ryzen 5 5650U is more than enough for the said 80% of white collar workers compared to a $1600 new Lunar Lake ThinkPad with completely soldered RAM. Only around 30% less performance for 80% less money. Thankfully we are not forced to buy expensive liabilities when the advertising tells us to

how's the connected standby drain?

[@TalonsTech]

Great video man! I bought the Asus S14 Zenbook for the wife with the 258v and I 100% agree. The iGPU is a total game changer for Intel, it's wild to see a chip pulling 28w and able to play Battlefield 2042 at 1080p. That kind of performance was unthinkable from an iGPU just recently, and the craziest thing is how smoothly it plays and looks. iGPUs of past years were stuttery and lots of texture pop, etc.

[@joydboy1382]

Can it play black myth wukong?

[@slimjimjimslim5923]

apparently yes. Some tested lunarlake found it to be avg 30fps, max 53fps at low setting, dx12, 1920x1080, 28w, resolution scaling 50%. Amd Ryzen 9 Hx370, newer driver crash game but older amd driver does play the game at 39fps avg. Amd still trying to fix driver. I mean 30-39fps isn't that great for either one lol. But both are better than Qualcomm Snapdragon8 gen3, runs around 13fps LOL

[@one_step_sideways]

Lunar Lake also set a new hole-in-my-wallet standard. No way I am paying $1400 for a 32GB RAM machine (completely soldered RAM) when I could get 80% as much performance and power efficiency, all with upgradable RAM, for half as much money, if not less. I am going to wait until ThinkPads with 32GB RAM with Lunar Lake start popping up on the used market in 3 years. Or it would be better to just wait for Strix Point ThinkPads with up to 96GB upgradable RAM instead

[@kartikpintu]

Wow 96gb? What do you use it for

[@one_step_sideways]

@@kartikpintu I don't use 96GB at the moment because they're expensive and it's not necessary at the moment, but upgrading the RAM past 32GB will be necessary later on, after around 3-5 years. I don't want my $1400 to only be usable for 5 years or something, I want it to be like a ThinkPad X220, a usable machine even after 13 years

[@canedr7883]

Yeah wait for arrow lake arrival

the 8 threads are repulsive

[@ShersGarage]

8 powerful cores vs say 24 smaller cores. Games prefer less cores. Because how they have been built. 7800x3d has 8 cores and it destroys everything else in gaming.

[@gigamoment]

@@ShersGarage 8 cores - 16 threads. This one is 8 threads.

[@ShersGarage]

@@gigamoment 4 P cores and 4 E cores

[@gigamoment]

@@ShersGarage Sure, but that's somehow equivalent as 8 threads, as each core does not support hyperthreading.
