Intel's next-gen Panther Lake mobile chip will be a portable gaming beast with 50% more Xe cores than Lunar Lake, according to the latest shipping manifest leak

Intel Lunar Lake.

Intel's Lunar Lake mobile chips (shown above) actually have decent gaming chops. Which is why news of a significant graphics upgrade in Intel's next-gen Panther Lake CPUs is so intriguing. According to a shipping manifest spotted by X user X86deadandback, Panther Lake sports 12 Xe3-spec graphics cores.

That's 50% more than the 8 Xe2 cores in Lunar Lake. What's more, you'd expect the per-core performance of the Xe3 graphics architecture in Panther Lake, also known as Celestial, to be superior to the Battlemage-based Xe2 hardware in Lunar Lake.
