Just a few months after Pat Gelsinger presented Panther Lake Engineering Samples live at the Lenovo Tech World event, Intel reports that Panther Lake has now achieved power-on status at eight customers. During the Barclays 22nd Annual Global Technology Conference, the two interim co-CEOs at Intel dispelled rumors regarding 18A and the scheduled Panther Lake for launch in 2025.
Panther Lake, dubbed Core Ultra 300, is expected to be the successor to Intel's Arrow Lake-U/H family of CPUs, the latter of which is rumored to launch next month. These CPUs will be the first to be built using Intel's flagship 18A process as Intel looks to break free from TSMC. Over 70% of Panther Lake will be manufactured in-house. From what we can gather, Panther Lake is a mobile-first product.
