Intel Lunar Lake processor spotted with eight cores

It would seem that Intel's upcoming Lunar Lake processors are now in testing. A recently leaked image gave us our first look at a Lunar Lake SKU, sporting eight cores. The image also seems to confirm a recent rumour that Lunar Lake will not support Hyper-Threading. 

According to the screenshot shared by HXL, Lunar Lake will have four Lion Cove cores and a cluster of four Skymont cores, which are also planned for usage in the Arrow Lake series. The L1 cache will have a total of 836KB. The L2 has a total of 14MB, which includes 2.5MB for each P-core and 4MB for the E-core cluster (four cores per cluster). Moreover, there are 12MB of L3 cache shared across all cores. Lastly, the screenshot suggests there's no hyper-threading.

Additionally, the leaked information reveals that the Intel Lunar Lake processor will have a base frequency of 1.8GHz and a boost clock of 2.78GHz, as seen by the 33% CPU utilisation in the screenshot. However, it may not reflect the entire clock speed, particularly as it is an early A1 silicon.

Past leaks suggested that Lunar Lake processors would come in 8W and 30W TDP versions with support for LPDDR5X-8533 memory. The most notable update on the graphics side is the upgrade to 8 Xe2-Cores, a low-power variant of the discrete Battlemage architecture.
