A developer kit is already in use by over 300 developers, showcasing Panther Lake's AI processing capabilities, including features for image editing and auto-coloring.

Intel showcased its Panther Lake Core Ultra 300 processors at Computex 2025, highlighting significant advancements in performance and power efficiency.

The Panther Lake chips integrate Cougar Cove P-cores and Darkmont E-cores, combining the performance capabilities of Arrow Lake's H-series with the power efficiency of Lunar Lake.

During the demo, a Panther Lake laptop effectively ran DaVinci Resolve, demonstrating AI video processing capabilities with a processor featuring 16 cores.

These processors are built on Intel's advanced 18A process node, which emphasizes improved power efficiency similar to that of the Lunar Lake.

This marks Intel's first chips based on the 18A process node, with tests confirming the silicon's readiness for retail availability in early 2026.

Insights from John Burek of PCMag highlighted the impressive performance of the Panther Lake samples during a firsthand examination in Taipei.

Intel plans to release more detailed specifications and performance metrics for the Panther Lake chips in the coming months as they prepare for launch.

As competition intensifies, Intel aims to balance power efficiency and gaming performance against AMD's upcoming Ryzen Z2 Extreme processors.

Panther Lake will also feature enhanced GPU and Neural Processing Unit (NPU) capabilities, utilizing Xe3 Celestial technology to improve AI and machine learning performance.

Previous leaks suggest at least four different SKUs for Panther Lake, with a flagship model expected to have a combination of performance and efficient cores.
