The Panther Lake-H lineup will reportedly be the first entry, followed by HX variants at a later date.

The iGPU is supposedly going to feature Xe3, an Xe architecture update which Wccf says is codenamed Celestial.

Apparently, the new chips will have up to 16 cores and hit 180 TOPS for AI power.

For reference, Microsoft currently requires PCs to hit 40 TOPs to be considered aCopilot Plus PC.

So, a strong debut for Panther Lake almost feels necessary.

DuringComputex 2024, Intel confirmed that the Panther Lake series would launch in the second half of 2025.

Though consumer devices might not launch until 2026.
