Intel Lunar Lake confirmed to feature Lion Cove P-cores and Skymont E-cores

Intel Lunar Lake isn't expected to arrive until after Meteor Lake and Arrow Lake. However, dataminers have been finding new details about Intel's upcoming low-power CPU architecture. 

As noted by InstLatX64, Intel's ‘perfmon' software now has more CPUIDs. In the past, the data found on perfmon has revealed the names of previous generations of Intel cores, including the “Redwood Cove” featured on Meteor Lake. The latest findings have returned a similar result, but this time for Lunar Lake. Based on the information found, it would seem that Lunar Lake chips will use Lion Cove performance cores and Skymont efficiency cores.

These codenames were first linked to Arrow Lake, a product that was meant to work with a wide range of CPUs. Lunar Lake, on the other hand, is designed specifically for low-power devices.

Intel has said that its goal is to have Lunar Lake ready for production by H2 2024, which means the first consumer devices would land in either Q4 2024 or early 2025.

KitGuru says: Based on what we've learned until now, Lunar Lake will almost certainly be the successor to Meteor Lake, covering the low-power segments of the 2nd generation of Core Ultra mobile chips. As for the higher-powered mobile CPUs, these will probably use Arrow Lake.
