We can finally talk about the benchmarks and battery life for Intel's Lunar Lake, in this case its the Core Ultra 7 258V review. This could also be considered the Ultra 7 256V review too. Intel had a lot of promises for these CPUs including crazy battery life and very good performance in everyday office and creator apps but now its time to put those claims to the test!
