Intel stakes its future on the new Panther Lake chips. These processors use the company's first home-made 18A process. The chip might save or sink Intel's place in the market. Its success could make or break the company's foundry business plans. Intel needs this win badly.
The design mixes Cougar Cove P-Cores with Darkmont E-Cores for better speed. A Neural Processing Unit reaches 180 TOPS, helping with AI tasks. The chip comes in different forms with up to four main cores, eight power-saving cores, and four extra low-power cores. Graphics come from the Xe3 "Celestial" design with 12 units. Power options range from 15W to 45W.
Test samples have already been sent to laptop makers. Mass production starts late next year. The chips target notebooks rather than desktop computers. Partners can pick power levels that match their needs. These changes aim to beat what current chips can do.
