With Panther Lake, Intel is launching a new series of processors for the mobile world. These have the particularity of exploiting the famous 18A blueprint process… A process which, despite its promises, doesn’t seem to be convincing customers. Anyway, what matters here is that a number of CPUs have been leaked and their configurations are known, a priori. Of course, since these are just leaks, they should be taken with a certain amount of hindsight.
Panther Lake: 12 known references!
For now, we know that Intel plans to launch at least twelve models with this generation. The latter is available in several segments with energy-efficient models: Panther Lake-U and more powerful chips with Panther Lake-H. It’s worth noting that we finally know what the Core Ultra 300X models are: they are equipped with a substantial graphics component, with up to 12 Xe3 cores compared to four for the other models.
Specifically, the Core Ultra 300X will feature the X9 388H as its flagship model, with 4 P-Cores, 8 E-Cores and 4 LPEs. As mentioned above, the graphics will have 12 Xe3 cores. Next, we have the Core Ultra 7 368H/358H, which share the same configurations but will certainly have lower frequencies. Finally, we have the small Core Ultra 5X 338H with 4 P-Cores, 4 E-Cores and 4 LPEs. Here, the graphics section only has 10 Xe3 cores.
With the Core Ultra 300H, we find the Ultra 9 375H, Ultra 7 355H/345H and Core Ultra 5 325H. The latter share the same number of CPU cores as the Ultra 300X. However, the graphics will be less developed: 4 Xe3 cores.
Finally, we have the U models for the more efficient versions. The highest-end model known remains the Core Ultra 7 360U with its 4 P-Cores, 0 E-Cores and 4 LPEs. The Ultra 5 350U and 340U will share the same configuration, while the Ultra 3 320U will only have two P-Cores. Once again, the graphics will consist of 4 Xe3 cores.
There are only a few days left before we find out the full configurations of these processors and the complete range. Be patient.
