Intel Panther Lake Leak Puts 12‑Core Xe3 iGPU Near 53K OpenCL in ROG Zephyrus G14

The pre-release results point to big integrated graphics gains that still need real-world validation ahead of Intel’s early‑2026 laptop launch window.

Overview

  • Multiple Geekbench 6 Compute entries show an Intel Core Ultra X7 358H tested in an Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 without a discrete GPU.
  • The integrated graphics are listed as 12 Xe3 cores (96 XVEs) running around 2.5 GHz with 16 GB of shared system memory.
  • Peak OpenCL performance reached 52,946, placing the iGPU in the neighborhood of AMD’s Radeon 890M and ahead of an RTX 3050 Laptop GPU and Intel’s Arc A550M in that synthetic test.
  • Early reporting compares the 12‑Xe3 iGPU as roughly 69% to 91% faster than 8‑Xe2 parts in OpenCL, with scores varying by power mode and immature drivers.
  • Intel is targeting broader Panther Lake availability in early 2026, and the platform also brings Wi‑Fi 7 features such as Multi‑Link Operation and Release 2 support, with integrated graphics branded as Arc B‑series.
