Samsung's next-gen Galaxy Book 4 lineup that includes a variety of Intel Meteor Lake & Raptor Lake CPU choices with NVIDIA discrete graphics has actually been dripped by WindowsReport.
Samsung Preps Galaxy Book 4 Lineup With 1st Gen Core Ultra "Meteor Lake" & Core "Raptor Lake" CPUs, NVIDIA RTX Discrete GPUs Available Too
Simply a couple of hours after the Retail listings of Intel's Meteor Lake laptop computers within the United States, Windows Report has actually dripped out Samsung's next-gen Galaxy Book 4 lineup of laptop computers which will be available in a complete variety of setups including an option of 1st Gen Core Ultra "Meteor Lake" or the basic Core "Raptor Lake Refresh" CPUs. These laptop computers will be offering the current hardware abilities while the Meteor Lake chips will be powering the complete series of AI PCs from Samsung.
Beginning with the information, the Samsung Galaxy Book 4 lineup will consist of an overall of 5 designs. The designs consist of the basic Galaxy Book 4, the 360, the Pro, the Pro 360, and the Ultra. Simply as we had actually formerly reported, Intel will be integrating its Meteor Lake and Raptor Lake households under the very same 1st Gen Core series however Meteor Lake gets the "Ultra" branding due to its premium nature as it leverages from a brand name brand-new architecture and more effective incorporated graphics in the kind of the Arc series.
The report likewise highlights that the Samsung Galaxy Book lineup would continue to provide Intel CPUs till Qualcomm's Oryon CPUs come out which is when we would begin to see them move to the Arm-based architecture for Windows PCs. With that stated, the very first of these laptop computers is anticipated to retail in early 2024 that makes sense thinking about among the setups should not be out by any PC supplier till Q1 2024.
This specific setup is the Intel Core Ultra 9 185H which is expected to be the flagship Meteor Lake CPU, providing to 16 cores, 24 threads, and approximately 5.1 GHz clock speeds with 24 MB cache (L3). We formerly reported that Intel would initially concentrate on offering Core Ultra 7 & Core Ultra 5 SKUs for laptop computers before its partners can provide the higher-end Core Ultra 9 CPUs.
The costs of the very first laptop computers reveal why there's still a requirement to revitalize the Raptor Lake lineup under the 1st Gen Core banner. The costs of Meteor Lake CPUs will be targeted at the premium sector so Intel still desires something brand-new to be used to mainstream and budget plan audiences which's where the refresh can be found in. It looks like just high-end designs will provide discrete GPUs while the mainstream Core Ultra 7 and Core Ultra 5 laptop computers will primarily stick to the incorporated GPU which will be more than capable of graphics work such as video gaming and the NPU onboard the Meteor Lake chips will be basically handy in powering AI jobs on the newest Windows operating systems.
The very same holds true with the entry-level Galaxy Book 4 styles which include incorporated GPUs however that has actually held true for a couple of generations now. A discrete GPU makes more sense with the older CPU lineup as they do not have the exact same level of graphics expertise as the brand-new Arc chips. A devoted GPU will make more sense there.
The very first Intel Meteor Lake CPUs are anticipated to be offered around the world throughout the middle of December this year so remain tuned for more details.
