Well, Intel's next-gen Panther Lake platform is pretty close to launch, and developers have started to speed up the enablement work, notably on the individual architectures.
Intel's Panther Lake SoCs To See a Significant Leap In Performance, Especially With AI-Oriented Workloads
The industry has huge hopes for Panther Lake, not only because it comes at a time when Intel's CPU business is dwindling, but PTL is going to be Intel's first chip to feature the in-house 18A process node, which will also decide the fate of IFS. Now, based on new PCI ID listings spotted by @InstLatX64, it is evident that Panther Lake will feature Cougar Cove P-Cores & Darkmont E-Cores, and this configuration will likely put Intel at a competitive position in the mobile segment, to say the least.
Well, the Darkmont E-core architecture was initially said to debut with Clearwater Forest Xeon CPUs, which will also be built on Intel's 18A, while Panther Lake was said to come with Skymont for the E-cores, but it seems like plans have now been changed. While specific details around Panther Lake and its SKUs are confined for now, we do know that the lineup is set to feature the Xe3 "Celestial" graphics architecture, and interestingly, we did get information about what some of the SKUs would look like in a previous leak.
PTL-H SKU #1: 4 P-Cores + 8 E-Cores + 0 LP-E Cores + 4 Xe3 Cores (45W)
PTL-H SKU #2: 4 P-Cores + 8 E-Cores + 4 LP-E Cores + 12 Xe3 Cores (25W)
PTL-H SKU #3: 4 P-Cores + 8 E-Cores + 4 LP-E Cores + 4 Xe3 Cores (25W)
PTL-U SKU #1: 4 P-Cores + 0 E-Cores + 4 LP-E Cores + 4 Xe3 Cores (15W)
In terms of power ratings, Panther Lake is claimed to come with max PL2 ratings of 80W (45W PL1), 64W (28W PL1) and 54W (15W PL1), so it is safe to say that we are looking at top-notch performance here. Interestingly, PTL will also feature the 5th generation of Intel's dedicated AI engines called the NPUs, which will reportedly equip the SoCs with up to 180 TOPS of AI power, which is a significant leap compared to what we saw with Lunar Lake. Panther Lake-H CPUs will support LPDDR5X 6800/7467/8533 MT/s speeds for memory support and DDR5 6400/7200 MT/s speeds.
