Intel’s dominance of the PC market has been under pressure from AMD, Qualcomm and Apple. Lunar Lake is Intel’s demonstration of what it can achieve when it focuses.

Simply put, Lunar Lake (as far as we know) isn’t destined to be a CPU powering the best gaming laptops, as it doesn't play well with a dedicated GPU. And if you see any laptop makers brag about a new gaming laptop sporting one, I’d take any claims with a serious pinch of salt.

Astounding battery life and massive leaps forward in CPU and GPU performance prove that Intel is done messing around. Click here for Lunar Lake benchmarks.

The Core Ultra Series 2 (Lunar Lake) processor from Intel was created with a focus on low power consumption while maintaining competitive performance. Will Intel Give Competition to MacBook Air? Let's find out.

If you're considering a Lunar Lake-powered laptop and want the best battery life possible, the obvious choice is the Dell XPS 13, but make sure you opt for the non-OLED version. With 18 hours and 34 minutes of battery life, you won't have to worry about bringing a charger along to have enough power for a full day at work or school.

We benchmarked a retail model Asus Zenbook S 14 with Intel's new and true AI-ready Lunar Lake platform and saw standard-setting battery results.

We tested Intel's latest Lunar Lake GPU in the Core Ultra 9 288V to see how it stacks up against both the previous generation Meteor Lake graphics as well as AMD's Ryzen AI graphics, Radeon 890M. There are promising signs but also lingering concerns about Intel's drivers and optimizations.

With performance and battery life figures like this, Intel's 200V-series is a firm favourite for my next pocket-sized PC purchase.

Intel first discussed the mobile architecture it calls Lunar Lake way back in June, and stated at the time it would arrive in Q3. The initial reveal included some lofty performance claims, so we've all been waiting to find out if those numbers were marketing BS or the real deal.
