Intel Lunar Lake mobile CPUs controversially integrated system memory onto the SoC, preventing users from installing additional RAM. The company now partially blames the decision for its latest disastrous earnings report. Furthermore, Intel's restructuring plans might involve downsizing or ceasing development Arc desktop GPUs.

During the company's third-quarter 2024 earnings call, Intel confirmed that its future laptop chips will return to the traditional use of RAM sticks, reversing Lunar Lake's radical shift to baked-in system memory. The company is also reassessing GPU development over the coming years.

The recently introduced Lunar Lake Core Ultra 200V light mobile CPUs come with either 16GB or 32GB of memory built into the package. No RAM upgrade possible.

Your need determines how much RAM is required

For general use 16GB RAM is enough.
Gaming needs 32GB RAM
For 4K video editing 64GB RAM is definitely better than the recommended 32GB RAM.
For 8K video editing minimum 64GB RAM and beyond
