Next-Generation processor details leaked

In a series of tweets, renowned hardware leaker Jaykihn has provided specifications for Chipzilla's forthcoming Panther Lake and Wildcat Lake processors, signalling major upgrades in performance and design.

Panther Lake, arriving in the second half of this year as the successor to Arrow Lake-H unveiled at CES, is set to be built on Intel's flagship 18A process technology and is expected to come in three variants—with the top-end configuration featuring 16 CPU cores (likely based on Cougar Cove and Darkmont) paired with 12 Xe3 (Celestial) GPU cores. 

Wildcat Lake, rumoured to power Intel’s next-generation N-series chips for lightweight laptops, Chromebooks, mini-PCs, and embedded devices, appears to offer a single variation featuring six cores (2P + 4LPE), with its Compute Tile likely housing the two performance cores and the low-power cores situated in the SoC Tile.

The leak hints at a potential capability of 40 AI TOPS, paving the way for innovative edge and mobile machine learning applications. 

Lunar Lake—celebrated for its record-setting integrated GPU performance—looks like it will be a “one-off”, as the cost-prohibitive nature of integrating memory directly onto the CPU die prevented any standardisation.

Rumours continue to circulate about an 18-core variant of Panther Lake, though Jaykihn has yet to confirm the exact specifications of these SKUs.
