Description:
Galaxy Book5 Pro could be a big leap forward driven by one of Intels
promising next-gen laptop CPUs.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Samsungs Galaxy Book4 Pro hasnt been on the laptop scene long, and already the firm is apparently planning the next iteration of this popular portable, which will carry one of Intels next-gen Lunar Lake CPUs according to a fresh leak.

The Galaxy Book5 Pro (model Samsung NT940XGK-DSD) was discovered in the SiSoftware benchmark database by regular leaker @momomo_us on X (formerly Twitter).

The current Galaxy Book4 Pro made the leap to one of Intels new Meteor Lake chips when it arrived early in 2024, but the Book5 Pro is shifting up again, this time to a Lunar Lake processor as mentioned presumably when the laptop is released early in 2025. (That is, of course, pure guesswork, but it makes sense for that to be the timeframe).

The leak shows an 8-core Lunar Lake chip with four performance cores and four efficiency cores (and clock speeds of up to 2.8GHz, but we wouldnt pay much attention to that, as this is still early testing and the CPU wont be near
its final speeds yet). Xe2 integrated graphics are on board here, too. Analysis: Shooting for the low-power moon

As low-power silicon, Lunar Lake will sit underneath the Meteor Lake range
for Intel. These Lunar Lake processors are designed to major in efficiency
and deliver relatively peppy performance in thin-and-light notebooks such as the Galaxy Book Pro. Theyll offer a great deal of grunt for their low power usage, as well as Xe2 which is next-gen Battlemage graphics, to boot.

Battery life should be very strong , too, if the rumors are right, and
theres a great deal of promise with these next-gen laptop CPUs from Intel.
All of this could make Samsungs MacBook-like laptop even stronger when it debuts likely early next year, as mentioned and the Galaxy Book4 Pro already made the cut to earn a spot on our best laptops list as it is.

This leak is coming pretty early, actually, which suggests that Lunar Lake is on track for a launch late in 2024, though as the grapevine has previously suggested , it likely wont be around in meaningful quantities on the shelves until 2025 rolls into town. We might even see the Galaxy Book5 Pro late this year, perhaps, given this leak popping up now, early doors but sticking to a yearly cadence for new models seems the most likely approach from Samsung (as it has previously done).

These chips will likely be the first outing for 2nd-gen Arc GPUs, with
desktop Battlemage graphics cards possibly having slid in their potential release timeframe to Q1 or even Q2 of 2025 going by the latest chatter .
