Man I hope these numbers are proven to be right because consumers totally need the competition.
@tylerkidby8991
This is exactly what the market needs, strong competition to keep them constantly innovating.

One of the Intel laptops was a Zenbook S 16, so Asus will again ship both AMD and Intel versions, which will allow a perfect comparison between the two. Can’t wait to see that.
@akin242002
From what I noticed; the CPU performance is barely above Intel 13th gen P series CPUs. However, the battery life and iGPU performance were massive jumps in performance. Keep in mind, Lunar Lake is for laptops. Not for desktops.
@SaschaB2B
Funny that snapdragon needed to come into the ring to push intel and amd further
@See.You.Soon.027
I love how ARM revolutionized the efficiency and battery life and now every company has to follow/compete. WIN WIN situation for us consumers!
@Reaper31292
Glad to see that there's going to be true competition for AMDs Ryzen AI chips for those of us who don't want to jump ship to ARM. It really has been an exciting year for laptops. I just bought my first ever AMD laptop recently after using Intel exclusively for the past 15 years, but really glad to see Intel is keeping up and will be an option again in the future.
@JesseProwisor
thanks for quick report - exciting to see the progress!!!
@SjonnieVDKist
good video! the only thing i don't agree with is at 8:12 where you mention having an NPU right now is for future proofing. i'd reckon that by the time we do get usefull software for it and everyday apps get use out of it these NPU's. the current ones will be outdated and not up to spec. especially since the performance increases we are seeing year over year. anyway video is a thumbs up for me as always!
@zircoben
Just looking forward to having a new work laptop that: 1) lasts longer than 1.5 hours unplugged, and 2) doesn't have constant fan noise in the background!
@babatundeoshodi6262
I am loving the competition between these companies as years goes on. Every company want to offer their very best as they are in competition with other companies and also themselves by making better iterations of previous chips. Although I am going to give the edge to Intel right now with their integrated RAM. That will help a lot with efficiency and integration. Performance will be a lot better and seamless.

I just payed off my Surface Pro 9 (1255U w/16 GB). It's a sweet little machine. I'm getting a taste of the newer thin and light machines that are hitting the market. I'm fully in the X86 camp because of my profession and so I care a lot about what Intel does. So far, things are looking really good for my particular niche.
@zzzamboni26
Great review! The only thing is at 4:47 you are saying "Fastest processor", which is incorrect. Intel claims the fastest single-core performance (see 1T/1-copy on the chart) and not overall CPU performance. Lunar Lake won't have the best multi-core performance, it's not designed to deliver it.
@J.Wick.
Oh snap....This is gonna make ALOT of things really interesting for the thin/light crowd as well as handheld crowd. Good. More competition is needed, and looks to be on it's way. Consumers win with competition. AMD has been ruling it for 5-6 years now in the laptop space.
@ArtyI
Cannot wait for these to come to the Framework laptop. It’ll be right in line with my current Thinkpad losing Windows security updates
@RobloxianX
The Dell XPS 13 becoming a possible gaming laptop is insane
@Jerome-iwnl
Looks pretty good, hope the standby time is good
@chanm01
If those numbers are real, Intel needs to get machines with these chips into the hands of reviewers ASAP. This is the performance leading Intel I remember. Not the losing half our share value and firing 15% of our staff Intel that we've been dealing with so far this year. edit: Re. the point you made about all the NPU numbers being for "future proofing", how much do you think it's actually going to matter though? All the most performant AI models are currently proprietary, and the most performant open source models require hundreds of GBs of ram to load. It's not (or at least not only) the TOPs that are the bottleneck here, and as you say, these thin and lights are never going to have more than 32GB of ram. Sure, there are smaller models made to run locally, but in 2 or 3 years are people even going to be interested in running those models?

First, thank you for the introduction of the Intel Core Ultra Series 2. Ever since I heard of the Intel Lunar Lake next generation of processors, I have been waiting for the actual product to appear. And now that it is here, I am so excited to hear about all the improvements and enhancements it will bring to Windows PC brands. I understand that what we will see and hear will be from Intel, but if this turns out to be as good as sounds, Wow. It is a wonderful time to buy a computer.
