According to recent leaks, Intel has no fewer than 12 variants of its future Panther Lake processors planned, ranging from 6 to 12 CPU cores and 4 to 12 Xe3 GPU cores.
These will succeed Lunar Lake and are expected to be officially detailed on October 9 when the Tech Tour 2025 embargo is lifted, but their performance will not be confirmed until CES 2025.
The range will include several series:
- Core Ultra X models for high-end laptops, equipped with up to 12 Xe3 cores
- H versions, designed for gaming, offering more PCIe 5.0 lanes but only 4 GPU cores
- And low-power U-Series, with between 6 and 8 CPU cores for a TDP of 15 W
In total, the Panther Lake range is expected to include 12 distinct models, marking a finer segmentation between productivity, gaming, and mobility.
It’s exciting to hear about Intel’s development of the Panther Lake processors! With so many variants in the works, it will be interesting to see how they perform and what innovations they bring to the market. Looking forward to more updates on this!
Absolutely, it’s exciting! Having multiple variants could really cater to different user needs, from gaming to professional applications. It’ll be interesting to see how they balance performance and efficiency across these models.
