Acer is ready to take the wraps off its first laptops which have Intel’s Lunar Lake processors inside on September 4.
Wccftech noticed Acer’s revelation on YouTube of an invite to look at the livestream of its IFA 2024 keynote (the ‘Subsequent@Acer’ 2024 occasion). Notably, that is the day after Intel reveals off the Lunar Lake CPU vary – which can be often called the Core Extremely 200V household – in a livestream of its personal on September 3.
So, it totally is sensible that we will anticipate to see laptops packing Lunar Lake chips – next-gen cellular CPUs to comply with Intel Meteor Lake – at Acer’s large IFA presentation.
Count on AI performance to function closely in Acer’s occasion which has the tagline of ‘Human Intelligence.’ That might both discuss with the swift progress of AI laptops, or the flexibility for them to be extra helpful to people with the brand new options being ushered in.
Lunar Lake needs to be an ideal engine for thin-and-light laptops, as we’ve mentioned earlier than, because it majors in energy effectivity and delivers the products for AI acceleration.
Evaluation: Capturing for the AI moon
Naturally, a deal with AI is to be anticipated, as these laptops with Lunar Lake cellular processors would be the first Copilot+ PCs from Acer with Intel silicon inside. Probably these gained’t be the one Lunar Lake-packing notebooks, although, and all the opposite main producers can be displaying off their very own designs at IFA 2024 – you’ll be able to financial institution on that.
These Intel portables can be going up in opposition to current Copilot+ PCs, which started with Snapdragon X (ARM-powered) laptops, and not too long ago moved on to incorporate AMD’s cellular chips (Ryzen AI 300). What these, and Lunar Lake, all have in widespread is that they sport a robust sufficient NPU to qualify as a Copilot+ PC (which means an NPU that exceeds 40 TOPS – in different phrases, one that gives a great deal of acceleration for AI workloads).
Whereas laptops with Lunar Lake are anticipated to debut this yr, they gained’t go on sale till later in 2024 – this can simply be an preliminary reveal, displaying off units with the silicon inside. The truth is, rumor has it that we gained’t see loads of notebooks with Core Extremely 200V processors inside till early in 2025, when quantity manufacturing actually kicks into gear for Lunar Lake.
