Intel’s oddball Core Extremely 200V laptop computer chips—codenamed Lunar Lake—will apparently be a one-off experiment, to not be replicated in future Intel laptop computer chips. They’re Intel’s solely processors with reminiscence built-in onto the CPU bundle; the one ones with a neural processing unit that meets Microsoft’s Copilot+ efficiency necessities; and the one ones with Intel’s best-performing built-in GPUs, the Intel Arc 130V and 140V.

At the moment, Intel announced some updates to its graphics driver that particularly profit these built-in GPUs, welcome information for anybody who purchased one and is making an attempt to get by with it as an entry-level gaming system. Intel says that model 32.0.101.6734 of its graphics driver can velocity up common body charges in some video games by round 10 p.c, and may velocity up “1 p.c low FPS” (that’s, for any given frames per second measurement, no matter your body charge is the slowest 1 p.c of the time) by as a lot as 25 p.c. This could, in idea, make video games run higher usually and ease a number of the stuttering you discover when your recreation’s efficiency dips right down to that 1 p.c stage.

Intel’s efficiency comparisons had been made utilizing an MSI Claw 7 AI+ utilizing an Arc 140V GPU, they usually evaluate the efficiency of driver model 32.0.101.6732 (launched April 2) to model 32.0.101.6734 (launched April 8). The 2 further driver packages Intel has launched since then will include the enhancements, too.
