First Intel Lunar Lake “Core Ultra 5 226V” Copilot+ Laptop Listed: ACER Swift 14 Priced at €1008

Intel's first Lunar Lake Copilot+ laptop has been listed online and comes in the ACER Swift 14 flavor with the Core Ultra 5 226V CPU.

Intel recently confirmed that its Lunar Lake "Core Ultra 200V" CPUs will be launching on the 3rd of September and will be the company's first Copilot+ laptops for clients. It looks like retailers around the globe have been briefed on the upcoming launch from Intel's OEM and partners and hence are listing the first laptops ahead of launch.

The first listing of the Intel Core Ultra 200V "Lunar Lake" CPU-powered laptops comes from Italian retailer, epto, which has the Acer Swift 14 AI "SF14 51 58AA Copilot+" PC listed on its store. The PC has been listed for €1008 or €1230 (including VAT). The non-VAT pricing equals $1100 US which is decent given that this is a preliminary price point that is expected to change when the actual launch occurs.

In terms of specifications, the Acer Swift 14 AI Copilot+ laptop is equipped with the Intel Core Ultra 5 226V "Lunar Lake" CPU which is an entry-level chip with 8 cores and 8 threads, making use of a 4 P-Core and 4 LP-E core configuration based on Lion Cove P-Cores and Skymont LP-E cores. The chip houses 8 MB of cache (LLC), a base clock of 3.5 GHz, and a boost clock of 4.5 GHz, comes with Arc 130V iGPU based on the Xe2 architecture with a boost clock of up to 1.85 GHz, and features a PL1 TDP of 17W and a PL2 TDP of 30W. The chip is configured with 32 GB of LPDDR5X. The chip also features up to 40 NPU TOPS and 53 GPU TOPS for 93 accumulated AI TOPS.

The retail listing states that the Acer Swift 14 AI laptop is equipped with 16 GB of memory and comes with 512 GB of storage. The 16 GB memory configuration might not be correct as the Intel Core Ultra 5 226V comes with on-package LPDDR5x modules in 32 GB flavors. Other specs include an OLED monitor with a 14" panel and a rated resolution of up to 1920x1200, WIFI7+BT support, 4 USB ports including Thunderbolt 4, and a 65Wh Li-Ion battery. The laptop weighs 1.36kg & should be running the latest version of Windows 11 with Copilot+ features.

Intel stated that it expects to ship over 80 designs based on its Lunar Lake "Core Ultra 200V" this quarter which have been verified by Microsoft for its Copilot+ platform so expect more models to appear close to launch.
