Intel has introduced a new generation processor architecture for laptops — Panther Lake. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
This new series is recognized as a major update following the company's recent years of setbacks. Panther Lake processors are the first models developed based on Intel's 18A technology and are offered in three different variants.
Each variant is designed with varying levels of energy efficiency and computing power. The most powerful model features 16 CPU cores, 12 Xe3 graphics cores, and 12 ray tracing units.
According to Intel, the new architecture reduces energy consumption by an average of 10%, which is significantly more efficient compared to the previous Lunar Lake generation. Additionally, thanks to the 18A technology, the processors consume 40% less energy or deliver 50% more power with the same amount of energy.
The new Intel Xe3 graphics increase performance by up to 50%. The company also announced the introduction of a system for pre-compiling shaders in the cloud.
This allows for a significant reduction in game loading times. Panther Lake processors are currently in production and are expected to be released in the first half of 2026.
This development marks an important turning point for Intel and will help strengthen competition in the laptop market.
