Previous leaks have hinted at Lunar Lake offering memory configurations spanning from 8GB to 32GB, with memory selection being a critical consideration due to its non-upgradable nature.

While Arrow Lake shares the Xe-LPG graphics architecture with Meteor Lake, Lunar Lake introduces a fresh graphics architecture derived from Battlemage (Xe2). Despite the focus on client products at CES 2024, Intel refrained from revealing a roadmap or preview for its next-generation discrete graphics. Notably, the Lunar Lake SoC stood as the sole Xe2 product featured at the event.
The year 2024 is poised to be marked by an increased emphasis on Artificial Intelligence (AI) capabilities in the realm of computing. Staying in line with this trend, Intel's Meteor Lake integrates a dedicated Neural Processing Unit (NPU), a feature continued in Arrow Lake, which offers similar AI acceleration capabilities. However, Lunar Lake takes AI technology to the next level, incorporating an enhanced next-gen NPU processor that is anticipated to deliver a remarkable threefold boost in performance. Lunar Lake is meticulously engineered as an ultra-low-power processor, targeting a power range of 17 to 30 watts with active cooling, and even as low as 8 watts for passively cooled devices. This series aims to compete with other forthcoming products, such as the Qualcomm X Elite series, also slated for release in 2024.
