October 30, 2025
Tech YouTuber High Yield dropped by the Munich pop-up, and he shared photos of Intel CPUs that look like the upcoming Panther Lake processors on X . They also mentioned spotting some laptops that featured the new chips. That makes the Munich spot far more interesting than what we saw here in New York. The chipmaker revealed more details about Panther Lake in October, which would be the first ones to take advantage of the company’s 18A process. They are supposed to be more power-efficient, delivering 50% more performance at the same power levels compared to Lunar Lake processors.
Intel is leaning on the AI branding, which hasn’t been that successful with customers. In fact, the company’s older Raptor Lake chips have been selling much better compared to its newer AI chips to the point that 12th-, 13th-, and 14th-gen Intel Core processors are seeing price hikes despite being older.
Research has shown that customers are buying these AI laptops not for their AI capabilities, but because they simply need new computers. Furthermore, Windows 10's end of support, which was supposed to significantly drive up demand for Copilot+ PCs, pushed demand for Apple MacBooks instead. Still, we hope that the upcoming Panther Lake chips drive sales and demand for its processors and help bring Intel back from the brink.
