On Thursday (29), ASUS confirmed its participation in IFA 2024 and announced that it will showcase its first notebooks featuring Intel Lunar Lake processors. The reveal is set for Wednesday, September 4.
The announcement came via ASUS’s official X profile (formerly Twitter), where they mentioned the “reveal of ASUS IA PCs” but did not explicitly state that the notebooks would be powered by Intel’s new CPUs. However, there are hints suggesting this.
The linked page for the event highlights that the showcased models will be equipped with Intel Core Ultra processors and invites users to explore ASUS’s AI PC lineup. However, this page currently only features existing models, not any new releases.
Given that the presentation is scheduled just a day after Intel’s official launch of the Core Ultra 200V processors, it seems likely that ASUS will unveil new notebooks equipped with the upcoming Intel Lunar Lake processors.
What to expect from ASUS’ new notebooks?
ASUS is anticipated to unveil updated versions of its ZenBook DUO series at IFA 2024, featuring the second-generation Intel Core Ultra 5, 7, and 9 processors. This likely includes an evolved model of the ZenBook DUO UX8406, which launched earlier this year.
The new notebooks are expected to leverage the advanced capabilities of these processors, which come with 8 cores and 8 threads. These processors will incorporate Intel’s new Lion Cove and Skymont core architecture, offer higher clock speeds, and include integrated graphics based on the latest Xe2 architecture.
Additionally, Intel’s Lunar Lake processors will introduce a new generation of Neural Processing Units (NPUs), designed to enhance AI performance and focus on improved energy efficiency.
