It's no secret that Intel has struggled the last couple of years, with even the U.S. government considering stepping in to ensure the company survives. So, it's a bit of a big deal that Intel appears excited about its upcoming Panther Lake CPU, which was shown to the public for the first time in Germany. The new system-on-chips were seen by the German publication PC Games Hardware (via Wccftech) during the Embedded World 2025 event. This marks our first look at the Intel Core Ultra 300 mobile platform and, as more information comes out, what Intel's new 18A process will look like. If Intel is to dig out of its hole, the 18A process and Panther Lake need to be successful. The Panther Lake-H lineup will reportedly be the first entry, followed by HX variants at a later date. According to reports, the Core Ultra 300 lineup will feature Cougar Cove P-Cores and Skymont E-Cores. The iGPU is supposedly going to feature Xe3, an Xe architecture update which Wccf says is codenamed Celestial. Apparently, the new chips will have up to 16 cores and hit 180 TOPS for AI power. For reference, Microsoft currently requires PCs to hit 40 TOPs to be considered a Copilot Plus PC. Intel has a lot of competition in the CPU space now, as Qualcomm is building its own ARM-based chips and TSMC seems ready to take over the entire chip world from phones to laptops and everything in between. So, a strong debut for Panther Lake almost feels necessary. During Computex 2024, Intel confirmed that the Panther Lake series would launch in the second half of 2025. Though consumer devices might not launch until 2026.

Intel Panther Lake-H CPU hits max turbo power of 64W — mobile chips' leaked specs point to substantial power draw
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Hardware leaker Jaykihn has shared what's believed to be the preliminary power specifications for Intel's upcoming Panther Lake-H CPUs, which are set to be used later this year in a new slate of laptops and mobile devices, which were previously shown off at CES 2025. The alleged preliminary spec details three variants of chips within the series, denoting performance, efficiency, and Xe3 cores. These chips are set to be based on Intel's upcoming Celestial architecture. They will likely materialize as Intel's Core Ultra 300H series, and the alleged preliminary power specifications allow some speculation about the kinds of devices the company will target. The first variant shows off a 16-core chip with a 4+8+4 configuration. Assuming this means four performance cores, eight efficiency cores, and four GPU cores. This specific configuration will likely reside in systems alongside a dedicated GPU. PL1 (Performance Base Power - PBP) and PL2 (Maximum Turbo Power - MTP) in both baseline and performance power modes will pull 25W and 64W- respectively. The 4+8+4 configuration has notably fewer efficiency cores than its previous-gen counterparts. The same can be said for the second variant listed, featuring a 24-core configuration split into 4+8+12. This may indicate its suitability for a higher-end device with four performance cores, eight efficiency cores, and 12 GPU cores. The PBP is listed at a baseline of 25W, with an MTP of 55W. In the 'performance' mode, this changes to 25W and 64W, respectively. The cTDP Max headroom on both chip configurations lists higher wattages, up to 80W MTP. This might imply that both chips have some headroom built for burst-heavy tasks like rendering. However, they are also set to be more efficient than the Core Ultra 200H series, which could boost into 100W+ territory. The final listing is for a seemingly lower-end eight-core chip with a configuration of 4+0+4. This will likely be the Core Ultra 300U chip, set to be used in entry-level devices or gaming handhelds. This configuration can run with a PBP of just 15W and an MTP of 44W under the 'baseline' power mode, while it boosts up to a similar 25W PBP and 55W MTP under the 'performance' mode. This tells us that Intel is starting to get serious about efficiency in its mobile chips. While AMD has long held the efficiency crown for x86 mobile devices, this initial power spec may be a step in the right direction for Intel. AMD has gained ground on Intel in both the desktop and laptop CPU market, with competition fiercer than ever. Intel's Panther Lake H CPUs will be produced in volume on the company's 18A (1.8nm-class) process in 2H 2025. The products are expected to be on shelves in early 2026.
