A filtration reveals the specifications of the processors series Intel Panther Lake and Wildcat Lake which would be launched for the laptop platform.
Intel Panther Lake and Wildcat Lake: filtered specifications
The processors Panther Lake They will happen to the models Arrow Lake-H. In the case of Panther Lake, this series is expected to debut in the market in the second half of this year 2025, which should offer an important performance jump.
For these specifications, Panther Lake would offer a maximum of 16 coresWe believe that maintaining the elimination of Hyper-Threading technology, an integrated graphics with even 16 XE nuclei and an AI performance that would reach the 180 tops. The hypothetical 16-core flagship will consist of 4 performance cores (P-Core), 8 efficiency cores (E-core) and another 4 LPE nuclei. The performance nuclei will be the COVE Cougar, while the efficiency nuclei would be the Darkmont.
| CPU | Nuclei | Xe Cores | PCIE 5.0 | PCIE 4.0 | Thunderbolt 4 (ports) | Memory | Tops (CPU+NPU+IGPU) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Panther Lake | 16 cores (4p + 8e + 4lpe) | 12 | x4 | X8 | 4 | LPDDR5X-7467/8533 | 180 tops (10+50+120) |
| Panther Lake | 16 cores (4p + 8e + 4lpe) | 4 | X12 | X8 | 4 | LPDDR5X-7467/8533, DDR5-7200 | 100 tops (10+50+40) |
| Panther Lake | 8 chores (4p + 0e + 4lpe) | 4 | x4 | X8 | 4 | LPDDR5X-6800, DDR5-6400 | 100 tops (10+50+40) |
| Wildcat Lake | 6 chores (2p + 0e + 4lpe) | 2 | N/A | x6 | 2 | LPDDR5X-6800, DDR5-6400 | 40 tops (4+18+18) |

With respect to Wildcat, we only see a variant that would be based on the same core architectures as Panther Lake, than with Cougar Cove and Darkmont. We talk about 6 core specifications. In this case, the amount of performance in AI would be maintained in about 40 tops. The maximum memory support for this series would remain in LPDDR5X-6800, while for Panther Lake the memory support would be somewhat higher, with LPDDR5X-8533.
As for the integrated graph, it would be of generation XE3 (Celestial).
Panther Lake processors are designed for high -end laptops and intermediate range, while Wildcat is designed for low -end laptops. It is believed that they would be the successors of the CPUS Alder Lake-N, which are designed for Chromebooks, Mini-PC and integrated low consumption devices. In both cases, a node would be used Intel 18a.
For Wildcat processors there is no concrete launch date, but it would be between 2025 and early 2026. We will keep you informed.
