A few days ago we were talking about Samsung’s Galaxy Book4 laptop line, a line that not only bets on Intel processors, but also intends to do so with the new processor Qualcomm Snapdragona processor with ARM architecture that will hit the market in the second half of this year.
Intel’s bet for this year on its Galaxy Book4 range of laptops, in addition to that of Qualcomm which will arrive in the coming months, is currently based on Intel Core Ultra processors Meteor Lake with Arc Xe graphics.
Samsung laptops with Lunar Lake
For the next generation of Samsung laptops, the Galaxy Book5, Samsung will continue to rely on Intel as it has done since 2021 when it launched the first model with the 11th generation Intel Core Tiger Lake with integrated NVIDIA MX450 graphics .
This new generation, which will arrive on the market in the first quarter of 2025, will arrive with the new range of Lunar Lake processorsa new line of low-power laptop processors that will be officially presented at the end of this year.
These new processors focused on minimizing the consumption of portable equipment, have 8 hearts (4 P Cores and 4 E-Cores) and will be the first to hit the market with the new graphics of Intel Xe2.
This information comes, once again, from data extracted from the SiSoftware Sandra database, an application which makes it possible to carry out reference and which stores the recordings obtained to be able to compare the results with other similar equipment.
The 8 cores of this model identified as Samsung 999JZR Galaxy Book5 Pro in the SiSoftware Sandra database show a clock frequency between 1.6 GHz and 2.8 GHz corresponding to the E-Core and P-Core cores, the same clock frequency that was observed in a leak last month, so you can accept this data.
However, it should be borne in mind that the maximum power of the equipment is not always used to carry out this type of analysis, so it is possible that these data are higher, although they are more than sufficient to daily use among users who need power and autonomy in equal measure.
According to this same software, the data linked to integrated graphics from Intel They point to 4 Xe2 cores, although this would not be the highest configuration available with this architecture. The clock speed of this integrated GPU would be 1.85 GHz and it would have 64 execution units and 512 shaders.
The Samsung Book laptop range consists of different variants: Pro and Ultra. While the Ultra version is aimed at the most demanding users and generally integrates the latest generation of NVIDIA graphics, the Pro range aims to offer maximum mobility while occupying a minimum of space and offering a greater autonomy.
Intel leaves ARM
Although everything seems to indicate that the future of laptop processors is linked to ARM ArchitectureAt Intel it seems that they think the opposite, processors designed to provide greater energy efficiency, essential when looking for mobility. We will have to wait for the launch of Qualcomm’s ARM processor with its Adreno graphics card to see the first comparisons both in performance and autonomy.
