Samsung is working on a new addition to its Galaxy Book 4 lineup, called the Galaxy Book 4 Edge. It will run on Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon X Elite chip.

In addition, Samsung seems to be readying the next generation of Galaxy Book 5 laptops. Recently, the Galaxy Book 5 Pro was spotted in SiSoftware’s benchmark database, featuring a processor from Intel’s Core Ultra 200 series.

The upcoming Intel processor is expected to be based on the Lunar Lake architecture and is expected to launch later this year. However, looks like the early samples have already reached the laptop manufacturers.

Lunar Lake is expected to introduce a new design for Intel’s CPU featuring four ‘Lion Cove’ performance cores and four ‘Skymont’ efficiency cores. It’s a change from the previous setup of two performance and eight efficiency cores in Meteor Lake U.

In total, the chip will house eight computing cores, and the benchmarks show a base clock speed of 1.6 GHz and a boost clock of 2.8 GHz, although these speeds are likely for early prototypes and will improve in subsequent versions. 

Additional specifications of the chip include two 12 MB L3 caches (likely allocated for performance and efficiency cores respectively) and 2.5 MB L2 caches per core. The device will also feature 16 GB of LPDDR5X 8533 RAM.

Intel is also expected to equip Lunar Lake chips with Arc graphics based on the new Xe2 architecture.

According to the benchmark, the Galaxy Book 5 Pro variant will utilize a smaller iGPU configuration with 4 Xe cores, 64 execution units, 512 shaders, and an 8 MB L2 cache. While not as powerful as the top-tier Arc iGPU, it still represents a significant graphics enhancement for laptops.
