Intel Core Ultra 200V Series Processor Specs
Intel is launching and has detailed the new Intel Core Ultra 200V series processors, which are claimed to offer outstanding AI performance, compatibility, and power efficiency at scale for leading laptop manufacturers. The Intel Core Ultra 200V Series is formally known as “Lunar Lake”, which we discussed and talked about around Computex 2024. Lunar Lake is now branded as the Intel Core Ultra 200V series, and all the models, names, and SKUs are now known. The entire press release will be posted at the bottom, with the full presentation you may peruse at your convenience. We’ll break down the SKUs below.
“Intel’s newest Core Ultra processors set the industry standard for mobile AI and graphics performance, and smash misconceptions about x86 efficiency. Only Intel has the scale through our partnerships with ISVs and OEMs, and the broader technology ecosystem, to provide consumers with a no-compromise AI PC experience.” – Michelle Johnston Holthaus, Intel executive vice president and general manager of the Client Computing Group
The one constant with all the Intel Core Ultra 200V series is that they are based on 4 P-cores and 4 LP E-Cores (8/8 Cores/Threads). There are no other SKUs of core count or thread count, they all have 4 P-cores and 4 LP E-cores which is 8-threads total since HyperThreading/SMT is not supported. What then differentiates the SKUs is the Max Turbo Frequencies for the P-cores and LP E-cores, as well as Cache, GPU, NPU, and Memory support. The Power is mostly the same between all of them, except for the highest-end SKU.
The Intel Core Ultra 5 226V and Intel Core Ultra 228V have a Max Turbo frequency of the P-cores at 4.5GHz and the E-cores at 3.5GHz. They utilize Intel Arc 130V GPU (Battlemage) with 7 Xe-cores and 1.85GHz frequency. The Intel core 226V has 16GB of on-package memory at 8533MT/s and power is at 17W with Maximum power at 37W. The Intel Core 5 228V adds 32GB of LPDDR5X at 8533MT/s at the same power.
The next two Intel Core Ultra 5 236V and Intel Core 5 238V parts have a higher 4.7GHz Max Turbo Frequency for the P-cores and 3.5GHz LP E-cores. They also utilize the same Intel Arc 130V GPU and the 236V has 16GB of memory and the 238V has 32GB of memory with the same power once again.
Up the line is the Intel Core Ultra 7 series, and there are also 4 SKUs of this. The Intel Core Ultra 7 256V and 258V have a 4.8GHz Max Turbo Frequency on the P-cores and 3.7GHz on the LP E-cores. These CPUs bump the graphics up to Intel Arc 140V (Battlemage) which utilizes 8 Xe-cores and a 1.95GHz Max Frequency. The 256V has 16GB while the 258V has 32GB of LPDDR5X at 8533MT/s and the same power as the Ultra 5 series.
Next up are the two upper Intel Core Ultra 7 series, the 266V and 268V. These have a 5GHz Max Turbo Frequency for the P-cores and 3.7GHz for the LP E-cores. They also utilize the Intel ARc 140V GPU but bump the clock speed up to 2GHz. The 266V has 16GB of on-package memory and the 268V has 32GB of on-package memory, again at the same power range.
At the top of the SKU lies the Intel Core Ultra 9 288V. This one has a Max Turbo Frequency of 5.1GHz on the P-cores and 3.7GHz on the LP E-cores. It also utilizes the Intel Arc 140V GPU but now at 2.05GHz. It has 32GB of LPDDR5X at 8533MT/s and a higher Processor base power of 30W with a Maximum Turbo power of 37W.
