Intel Moon Lake CPUs: four LPE Darkmont cores on 18A, 6W base TDP

Intel is preparing an entry-level laptop CPU family called Moon Lake on the 18A process. The chips drop P-cores entirely, using four LPE Darkmont cores with a 6W base TDP configurable up to 15W. They target sub-$300–$400 laptops with 8–16 GB of memory.

• Moon Lake uses only four LPE Darkmont cores, no P-cores
• Built on 18A in the same BGA 1516 package as Wildcat Lake
• Base TDP of 6W, configurable up to 15W
• Aimed at sub-$300–$400 laptops with 8–16 GB RAM
