New battery life record: This CPU makes the best known business laptop more efficient
(www.notebookcheck.net)
Yes, it's an ad. Basically the Lunar Lake option is a high single core perf CPU that is pretty bad for anything other than checking emails and web browsing. We're in 2025 and outlets still haven't found a way to properly test multitasking.
the Lunar Lake option is a high perf single core CPU
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_Lake
According to this, all Lunar Lake CPUs have 4 performance and 4 economy cores; none have a single core.
You're being purposefully dense, it had a misplaced word. It's fixed now.
I looked up the CPU and its faster than the R7 3700x I game and edit videos on in my desktop..
Let's see: Blender, for the BMW27 the 3700x is ~30% faster.
In notebookcheck's own site, you can add a 3700x test (together with a Vega64) and see that outside of single core synthetic results, in every multi-core real world scenario, the 3700x trounces the Lunar lake CPU, even though it's several nodes behind in density (7nm vs 3nm) and it is 6 years older, has much less memory bandwidth...
I highly doubt the 238v is faster than the 3700x at anything other than browsing the web or other single core loads...
edit: Unless one looks at userbenchmarks (if that shithole still exists), in userbenchmarks even the 6700k is better than a 9800x3D.
I'm just saying it absolutely will do most tasks without issue, since my 3700x doesnt struggle at all with any normal every day task.
still haven't found a way to properly test multitasking.
And my point is the 3700x performs well in multicore CPU loads, lunar lake, likely less so, when taking the benches in consideration. This reflects in its multitasking capability.
now that's a clickbaity title if i ever saw one
Lunar lake is x86-64 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_Lake
Intel said that with Lunar Lake, it aimed to "bust the myth that [x86] can't be as efficient" as ARM.[3] Analysis of tests performed on Lunar Lake CPUs available at market launch indicated that, although their multi-core performance was not particularly good under full load, their efficiency under everyday use was good, even if the ARM competition still has its advantages.[4]
That was a joke 😂 I'm not seriously thinking they put ARM instructions in a x86 processor, though they might've tried to replicate the optimisations that led to less power usage in those RISC processors (I still can't get why RISC CPUs are more power efficient honestly, it seems counter intuitive, now again it might just be because of overengineering).
It's 19 hours.
