What Makes Panther Lake Special?

Panther Lake represents Intel’s first 18A process product, with PTL-U and PTL-H SKUs expected to ship by the end of 2025, followed by additional SKUs in 2026. The architecture promises high-performance core design similar to Arrow Lake-H while maintaining leading x86 power efficiency comparable to Lunar Lake.

New Core Ultra X Series

The introduction of the Core Ultra X branding suggests Intel is positioning these as premium mobile processors, likely targeting high-performance laptops and gaming notebooks. With up to 16 cores and 12 Xe3 GPU cores, these chips aim to compete aggressively in the premium laptop segment.
