LG Electronics (CEO Joo-wan Cho) has unveiled the ‘LG Gram’, a man-made intelligence (AI) PC equipped with Intel’s next-generation processor. It’s a method to keep up its leadership in ultra-light premium notebooks by advancing probably the most powerful performance ever in an ultra-light design.
LG Electronics announced on the 4th that it introduced the 16-inch ‘LG Gram Pro’ equipped with the ‘Core Ultra Processor (Core Ultra 200V)’, aka Lunar Lake, at Intel’s next-generation processor launch event held ahead of ‘IFA 2024’ to be held in Berlin, Germany.
The AI processing performance of the processor installed within the LG Gram Pro has grow to be 3 times more powerful than the previous generation. Power efficiency has also improved by as much as 40%, and graphic performance has also improved by as much as 50%.
Specifically, it was emphasized that the performance of the neural processing unit (NPU) specialized in AI operations has been greatly improved. The NPU is a dedicated processor that efficiently processes complex mathematical operations required for AI tasks, and has some great benefits of excellent efficiency, performance, and power saving effects. It’s a key element of on-device AI that performs AI operations on the device itself with out a network connection.
The NPU mounted on Intel’s next-generation processor can perform as much as 48 trillion operations per second (48TOPS). It has AI computational performance that’s greater than 4 times higher than the previous generation. Intel emphasized that it’s superior to the battery life and graphic performance of Qualcomm or AMD chips mounted on existing AI PCs.
The LG Gram Pro is the highest lineup within the series that maintains its ultra-light identity while also offering the most effective performance. It emphasized that it broke the stereotype that high-performance laptops should not portable based on the newly designed internal structure and enhanced heat control system.
With the ‘AI Gram Link’ function built into the product, you’ll be able to share screens or exchange photos with as much as 10 Android and iOS devices. As well as, AI analyzes photos and mechanically classifies them into 39 categories, including people, places, and dates.
LG Electronics plans to sequentially launch the LG Gram series equipped with the next-generation AI processor, including the recently unveiled ‘LG Gram Pro 16’, in major global markets throughout the yr.
Lee Yoon-seok, head of LG Electronics’ IT business division, said, “Since its launch, LG Gram has led the ultra-light notebook trend with constant challenge and innovation,” and added, “Based on Intel’s next-generation processor, it can set the usual for true premium AI PCs.”
