Intel’s new processor microarchitectures look to boost performance-per-watt
Intel’s upcoming Lunar Lake Microarchitecture will boast a new design for improved performance-per-watt efficiency, according to the latest update to the company’s PerfMon software.
The latest Intel PerfMon update reveals that the company’s upcoming Lunar Lake processor will boast a new microarchitecture for improved performance-per-watt efficiency, judging by an update to the company’s performance-monitoring software. The software update, which adds support for the 18A fabrication process, sheds light on new core codenames and hints at upcoming features.
Previously codenamed Meteor Lake, we now know that the upcoming Intel processor will be called Lunar Lake. The 18A process is an upgrade from the previous generation 22nm process, and should allow for more RibbonFET transistors, improving performance through backside power delivery.
While specific details about core count and microarchitecture peculiarities have not been disclosed, Intel claims that Lunar Lake will deliver “unprecedented performance efficiency” when it arrives in 2024. The company will also use the new codenames Lion Cove and Skymont, but it’s difficult to say exactly how these new microarchitectures compare to the current Comet Lake chips.
We do know that Lion Cove will be a high-performance core, with Skymont being an energy-efficient component. It’s difficult to estimate the performance advantages these microarchitectures, alongside the 18A process technology, over the Arrow Lake CPU.
Intel has set high expectations for its 2024 Lunar Lake processor. We’ll be sure to keep you updated on this cutting-edge technology as it develops.
Take a look at our full guide on what to expect from the 2024 Lunar Lake release.

Intel’s upcoming Lunar Lake processor will boast a new microarchitecture for improved performance-per-watt efficiency
The latest Intel PerfMon update reveals that the chipmaker’s latest high-performance cores, codenamed Lion Cove, will be paired with energy-efficient Skymont cores for the upcoming processor.
While specific details about core count and microarchitecture peculiarities haven’t been disclosed, the company claims that Lunar Lake will deliver “unprecedented performance efficiency” when it arrives in 2024. We know that the processor will adopt a disaggregated multi-chiplet design from previous CPUs like Meteor Lake and Arrow Lake, but Intel looks to be taking this approach to a new level by further splitting components.
According to the latest PerfMon release, Lunar Lake will use the 18A fabrication process for its compute tile, which allows for more RibbonFET transistors and improved performance through backside power delivery.
It’s difficult to estimate exactly how far ahead Lion Cove and Skymont are versus the Arrow Lake CPU, but Intel’s high expectations will put the company under pressure to deliver.
