Today, Intel is giving the world its first look at Panther Lake, its first family of laptop SoCs to incorporate cutting-edge 18A silicon. With Cougar Cove P-cores, Darkmont E-cores, and up to 12 Xe3 graphics cores, Panther Lake is poised to bring the efficiency of Lunar Lake and the scalability of Arrow Lake-H together in one family of chips.

There's good news and band news for Intel's Panther Lake and 18A. Bad news is that its yields are likely still very low. Good news is that their improvement are on the industry-standard yield ramp pace, which means that Intel is on track to hit industry-standard yields in early 2027.

A Furmark 2 benchmark of Intel's upcoming B370 Xe3 iGPU, has appeared on X with underwhelming results. Intel's outgoing Arc 140V Xe2 iGPU beats the B370 by 14% in this particular benchmark.
