Intel plans a new computer chip design called Panther Lake. A recent update shows these chips will mix Cougar Cove performance cores with Darkmont efficiency cores. Some versions might add a third type of low-power efficiency core. The company sticks to its strategy of combining different core types in one chip.

The high-performance models will come with various options. One 45-watt version offers four performance cores, eight efficiency cores, no low-power cores, and four graphics units. Two 25-watt models keep the same main cores but differ elsewhere—one adds four low-power cores with twelve graphics units, and another pairs four low-power cores with just four graphics units.

For lightweight computers, Intel created a 15-watt chip using four performance cores, four low-power cores, and four graphics cores. This design skips the regular efficiency cores completely. Production starts later this year after Intel finishes work on its advanced 18A manufacturing process.

Most computers will use standard memory, though some might offer newer slots for easy upgrades. With power needs up to 64 watts, these chips can run many devices from basic laptops to gaming machines and car systems. Stores should have Panther Lake computers early next year.
