Intel's upcoming Lunar Lake MX processors will come in Core 5 and Core 7 flavors with 4 P-cores and 4 E-cores and up to 8 Xe2-LPG Battlemage graphics cores that can almost match Apple's M2 iGPU performance. The entry-level 8 W SKU will not require active cooling.
Not seeing Thunderbolt 5 on a laptop that’s releasing really late into 2024 is a travesty. Going to have to wait till 2025 and probably Q2 or worse for them to finally start appearing.
