Intel Announces Panther Lake Laptop Chips and Core Ultra Series 3

Intel is launching its next-generation Panther Lake laptop chips, which aim to simplify its lineup by replacing the Lunar Lake and Arrow Lake series. These chips are expected to offer up to 10% better single-core and 50% better multi-core CPU performance, with a GPU that's roughly 50% faster, and reduced power consumption. The new architecture consolidates features across three chips tailored for different laptop types, marking a return to a more unified and straightforward product line. Systems with these chips are expected to ship by the end of the year, signaling a potential return to form for Intel in the laptop CPU market.
