Intel plans to shake up its chip lineup with new Panther Lake processors. These chips will have two different core types - Cougar Cove for heavy tasks and Darkmont for saving battery life. This replaces the Lion Cove and Skymont cores used in the current Core Ultra 200 chips. Intel shared these names in a software update on GitHub earlier this month.
The chips will also feature third-generation Celestial graphics. These upgraded graphics come in three versions with 4, 12, or 16 execution units. Computer makers can pick the right option for everything from thin laptops to gaming machines. The graphics hardware can change speed and power use as needed.
Intel improved the neural processor for AI tasks like image recognition and language processing. The memory system works faster with less waiting time. Power-saving features help extend battery life when the computer sits idle.
Most Panther Lake chips will have four fast cores and eight power-saving cores. Graphics options range from basic to advanced. Some models focus on gaming or professional work with a 45-watt power rating, while others aim at tasks that need graphics muscle without extra efficiency cores.
These new designs beat current Ultra 200 chips in several ways. The graphics and AI parts handle more work at once. Better memory and power controls should give laptops longer battery life without slowing down when you need speed.
