Intel's next-generation Lunar Lake "Core Ultra 200V" CPUs are coming to gaming handhelds as a new device is revealed by a Chinese maker.
Upcoming Gaming Handhelds Market To See Competition Between Intel's Lunar Lake & AMD's Strix Point CPUs
Spotted by PCWorld, it looks like the Chinese manufacturer, Shenzhen Weibu Information Inc., is the first company to state that its upcoming GP10 gaming handheld will be powered by the Intel Lunar Lake CPU platform.
The company has listed the GP10 handheld on the Computex Taipei product brochure page and also lists down a few key specifications. Starting off with the details, the gaming handheld packs an Intel Lunar Lake "Core Ultra 200V" CPU, details of which are unknown. We are so far aware of four SKUs including the recently leaked Core Ultra 5 238V and Core Ultra 5 234V. It makes sense for the company to leverage Lunar Lake CPUs for handhelds since these chips are designed for thin and light platforms.
In terms of what to expect from Intel's Lunar Lake "Core Ultra 200V" CPUs, they will feature up to 4 P-Cores based on the Lion Cove core architecture, up to 4 LP-E cores based on the Skymont core architecture, up to 8 Xe2-LPG iGPU cores based on the Battlemage graphics architecture and a new NPU delivering over 100 TOPs of total platform compute for AI workloads. We expect the TDPs to range from 7-11W and up to 15-28W.
The design shows the screen in the middle with two joysticks on the sides which might feature a detachable form factor. You have all the necessary buttons along with the triggers on each joy-stick. The back should have the necessary exhaust vents to blow hot air out of the chassis.
Other specifications of the GP10 gaming handheld powered by the Intel Lunar Lake "Core Ultra 200V" CPUs include a 10.95-inch screen with a 1920x1200 resolution and a maximum refresh rate of 120Hz. The panel will feature a touch-screen. The handheld can be configured with up to 64 GB of LPDDR5x memory which should run between 7500-8533 MT/s. I/O includes an M.2 2280 slot for up to 2 TB storage capacities, USB 4.0 Type-C, & a 3.5mm audio jack, TF SD card, and WIFI capabilities.
There's no word on pricing or availability at the moment but we can expect the device to launch in the second half of 2024 or early 2025. We will be visiting Computex this year so we'll make sure to get more details on this device straight from the floor.
