Panther Lake is arguably Intel's most important release in the past few years with significant gains made in the graphics department, in particular. The company wants to ensure that the new Arc B370 and Arc B390 iGPUs inside these chips perform to their fullest potential, which is why it has reportedly mandated the use of fast memory on high-end Panther Lake SKUs.
According to popular leaker Golden Pig Upgrade, Intel has set 7,467 MT/s as the minimum requirement for LPDDR5X RAM accompanying Panther Lake chips. Any slower and the impressive integrated graphics will be covertly relabeled to just "Intel Graphics" in Task Manager.
