Remember we mentioned earlier this week how Intel’s incoming Panther Lake CPU is forming a killer to become a killer for gaming handhelds? Well, now we have some details of the release of the first Panther Lake Model Intel. Good news? It is coming later this year. Bad news? It will not be reported to be an interesting graphics option.
According to a post on xIntel will launch only one panther lake this year. It will play four PP Corps, eight e -cores, zero Low Power e -Core and four core IGPUs.
This latter details are a little disappointing. As we are allegedly the first, perhaps the most interesting aspect of the Panther Lake is a variety with the 12 graphics cover. It is 50 % on the eight IGPU cover in the lunar lake.
If you are also elected in the new heavenly graphics architecture in the Panther Lake, which is likely to perform per graphics core performance compared to the fight -based IGPU in the lunar lake, the result should be really jumping in gaming performance on the lunar lake.
And not that you have forgotten, we have a very small chip for gaming handhelds in a review of MSI claws 8 AI+ A2VM handheld. Recently. , This Strexpoint is very competitive with APU -based handhelds with AMD’s equivalent chip, as seen in Iano 3. Therefore, the fastest chip for the Panther Lake Handhelds can be.
At least this will be if launched on time to counter the AMD’s Strexpoint. But if this latest rumor is correct, we will have to wait for some time for the Panther Lake Model with 12 graphics cores in 2026. Because with the aforementioned various graphics core, it is said in detail that this year is the only model launched.
There is clearly no official word why this is, if the story of a single model is true. But it has a good opportunity to belong to the fact that Panther Lake uses the Intel’s new 18A node for its CPU tile.
It always takes time to increase the amount of production on a new node, and here the assumption is that Intel is not in a position to produce enough CPU -core tile on 18A to release the full line of chips immediately after release.
In the meantime, observers of the blasphemous industry can conclude that Intel’s 18 A node is not really ready to manufacture volume. But the company wants to achieve something based on 18A in 2025 to maintain its own roadmap. That way, we will get only one SKU in 2025.
Whatever the reason, the next question is why is this SKU description and not one with 12 core graphics and some less powerful e -core? This may be the reason that Intel likes to go with the mainstream SKU at the time of the launch and then feeds in high -end models.
It has been thought that Intel TSMC’s N -3 e -node will produce graphics tiles, which is quite solid at this location and should not offer any obstacles to the production of Panther Lake. For the IGPU, the graphics of the Panther Lake are large. But the TSMC has long been developing a huge chip on N3E than the most powerful Panther Lake graphics tile for some time, clearly the advanced variations of Apple’s M4 chip range.
Anyone, it seems that we will not be too long before we get the first taste of Panther Lake and 18A. But we may have to wait a while before the killer handheld quiet, it is a pity.
