From trusted sources of Intel rumors According to Bionic_SquashLunar Lake, part of the next-generation client platform, is expected to deliver a significant 50% performance increase compared to Meteor Lake-U. The claim specifically refers to Cinebench version R23 and Cinebench 5.4.5 multi-threaded tests.

Almost 1.5x MT perf increase (CB23, GB 5.4.5)— Bionic_Squash (@SquashBionic) March 10, 2024
The Lunar Lake-MX platform is expected to feature an eight-core CPU setup with four P-Cores based on Lion Cove architecture and an additional four E-Cores based on Skymont. In addition, Arrow Lake, which shares the same microarchitecture, is expected to be released together with Lunar Lake, targeting mid- and high-end hardware.
It should be noted that the upcoming Lunar Lake is designed specifically for thin and low-power laptops. A look at the leaked slides shows that compared to the 15W TDP Meteor Lake SKUs, Lunar Lake will offer a 1.5x increase in multi-threading performance despite the lack of hyper-threading support. Although the original TDP value for the platform is 17W, it can go up to 30W according to some leaked information. Additionally, Intel also plans to release an 8W TDP version of Lunar Lake for fanless laptop designs.
In addition to improved CPU performance, Intel says it will have an NPU that is 3 times faster than the previous model. The platform will also introduce the new Xe2-LPG graphics architecture, making it especially promising for handheld gaming systems with a 15W TDP. Although the Lunar Lake series is expected to be released later this year, mass production is expected to start in 2025.
