Intel Chief Executive Lip-Bu Tan outlined the company's revised processor roadmap during recent earnings discussions. The semiconductor manufacturer plans to launch its first Panther Lake mobile processor by late 2025, followed by additional variants in early 2026. Nova Lake processors will target both desktop and mobile markets by late 2026, addressing performance gaps against AMD competitors. The company will base at least three processor generations on its 18A manufacturing process. Intel expects Nova Lake to feature up to 52 cores with advanced graphics architecture.
The corporation acknowledges errors in removing simultaneous multithreading from server processors. Coral Rapids server chips will reintroduce SMT technology to P-cores by 2028-2029, reversing previous architectural decisions. Intel currently maintains 55 percent server market share while AMD captures the remaining 45 percent. The company attributes recent market losses to high-performance server missteps. Tan emphasized consolidation efforts around x86 processors and Xe graphics units for future artificial intelligence applications.
