Intel is entering the AI PC market with its Lunar Lake chip, set to be released later this year.

Intel has announced that its Lunar Lake laptop processors will be released in the third quarter of this year. These new x86 chips are designed to enhance the AI experience in Copilot Plus PCs.

Intel’s announcement coincides with Microsoft’s Surface and AI event, where Microsoft showcased Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Elite and Plus chips for Copilot Plus PCs, highlighting their high performance and longer battery life. However, Intel asserts that its Lunar Lake processors deliver 1.4 times faster performance in Stable Diffusion 1.5 compared to the Arm-based Snapdragon X Elite.
