Overview

• Intel's Panther Lake CPUs combine Lunar Lake's power efficiency with Arrow Lake's high-performance cores, leveraging the advanced 18A process node.
• At Computex 2025, Intel demonstrated live AI workloads and real-time rendering tasks, validating Panther Lake's performance and power efficiency goals.
• The chips feature a five-tile architecture, including Compute, GPU, SoC, I/O, and filler tiles, with Cougar Cove P-cores and Darkmont E-cores.
• Panther Lake's AI capabilities promise up to 2× performance improvement over Lunar Lake, with demos showcasing tasks like code generation and video editing using on-chip AI engines.
• Intel has distributed developer kits to over 300 independent software vendors to optimize software ahead of the early 2026 consumer launch.
