Intel showcased its next-gen Core Ultra 300 Panther Lake CPUs at Embedded World

Intel’s Panther Lake CPU silicon was showcased at Embedded World 2025

PCGH has spotted a next-gen Intel Core 300 “Panther Lake” CPU at Embedded World 2025. There, Intel reconfirmed that their new processor would launch this year, and that it was built using the company’s Intel 18A lithography node.

With Panther Lake, Intel uses new CPU core and GPU core designs. On the CPU-side, we have new “Cougar Cove” P-cores alongside “Skymont” E-cores. GPU-wise, we will see Intel’s new Xe3 “Celestial” graphics architecture.

Intel has reportedly stated that more than 70% of its new Core Ultra 300 chips will be made using Intel 18A silicon. This will increase Intel’s profitability by using more internal Intel technology.

While Intel’s new Panther Lake chip may look like a single piece of silicon, it is comprised of several “tiles.” This includes tiles that include CPU cores, a GPU tile, and an IO tile.

Unlike Lunar Lake, Intel will not be integrating memory into its CPU packages. This will allow Intel partners to further customise their products. Lunar Lake CPU users can’t upgrade their system’s memory, and OEMs have to stick to Intel’s pre-packaged memory options. That changes with Panther Lake.

Intel Panther Lake Specifications

Intel’s top Panther Lake series CPUs will reportedly contain 16 CPU cores and 12 Xe3 GPU cores. Note that mass production for these GPUs is due to start soon, with availability in H2 2025. Remember that Lunar Lake had up to eight CPU cores and eight GPU cores.

If Intel can deliver Panther Lake on time, it will be a strong showing for Intel Foundries and their 18A lithography node. Furthermore, it should help Intel deliver more performance within the laptop market, and push Intel’s integrated graphic performance to new heights.
