Lunar Lake has launched now officially as the Intel Core Ultra 200V series, due out from September 24th for "AI PCs". The actual launch on September 24th will include systems from Acer, ASUS, Dell Technologies, HP, Lenovo, LG, MSI and Samsung and others will various products going up from today for pre-order.

While not truly aimed at gamers, Intel do say the processors come with a "massive leap in graphics performance" and they're the "most efficient family of x86 processors ever". The processors have "completely rearchitected Performance-cores (P-core) optimized for performance per power per area" along with Intel's "most powerful Efficient-cores (E-cores) to date".

Here's the models they're launching (click images to enlarge):

And some other shots with various info from their official pack:

In the wake of catastrophic financial results with class action lawsuits likely to follow and terminal CPU failures stemming mainly from absurdly high voltages, they went with a capital V at the end of the model names.
Classic Intel, head in the sand, oblivious to all...
The 200V probably means it needs 200 Volts to operate and perform optimally....

Jokes aside, I'll wait for the real world benchmarks to judge. If these processors make it to small form factor pc's I'd seriously consider buying one.

That’s just base voltage.
Peak will be 1.21 GigaWatts.

I have to confess, though; I was unconvinced till I saw this highly informative graph:



Allocate & retire has never been wider; incredible.

First I thought it was "200 watts" and found it intriguing, then I saw it was "200V" and it was such a what the fuck moment I had to check if I wasn't missing something, because surely there was something missing. Maybe it was a special model for some special "200 volt servers". Maybe it was not a processor but some NUC thingy. Maybe it was 2.00 volts. Because 200 volts for a processor is stupid, but the only thing stupider is naming your product 200V when it does not take 200 volts and after you just bricked two generations of processors due to excessive voltages.

Volts schmolts, V is for Victory! Or something.

Are you sure it's not V for this instead:

So I heard that Intel's fortunes started to turn to crap after they got themselves their first MBA CEO, instead of an engineer. Just like Boeing.

Noticed that there is no mention of the overheating issues that seem to plague modern Intel CPUs ...

Fine by me. Between me and my PC, I'd rather it was me doing the thinking, and it doing the "what it's told".

It's a PC that can do AI inference, which is pretty much any PC or phone or TV or frickin frig in the world.

On a serious note, an AI PC generally refers to a PC with an NPU (Neural Processing Unit?), which is basically an accelerator for AI operations that can otherwise still be done in the CPU or the GPU, but at a slower speed and/or higher power consumption.
