Based on the instruction set extensions supported, the design of Lunar Lake has been started later that the designs of Arrow Lake and Arrow Lake S. When first announced, Lunar Lake was supposed to be manufactured by an Intel CMOS process that will be available only in 2025 (18A). At some point, Intel has decided to retarget Lunar Lake for the TSMC "3 nm" process, and it appears that this decision has allowed them to be ready for product launch much earlier, so it might be launched before Arrow Lake and Arrow Lake S (the latter of these 2 is a desktop CPU that will also be made in the TSMC "3 nm" process, according to rumors). At Hot Chips 2024, Intel is scheduled to make a more detailed presentation of Lunar Lake.
