One of the global leaders in the technology sector, Intel, is planning to reveal technological details about its upcoming PC chip. This is part of Intel's efforts to gain the trust of consumers for its first product, which is entirely built using its next-generation manufacturing process, named 18A, according to sources. The product's name is Panther Lake, which is essentially a chip designed for PCs. These chips are typically included in expensive laptops, and they are the first high-volume Intel products to utilize the 18A process, for which the company has spent billions on development

According to the sources, the company has conducted hours of technical briefings and tours in factories in Arizona for industry analysts to understand the core technology and manufacturing of the new chip, Panther Lake. It includes a precise explanation of the central processor and media engine, along with the graphics processing units. Their last-generation chip, called Lunar Lake, was developed by Intel's rival, TSMC.

According to Intel executives, the Panther Lake chips are expected to be available at the beginning of 2026. These chips are designed to use 30% less energy than previous models, and their GPUs and CPUs will experience a 50% increase in their ability to handle data in critical situations. This technical briefing was mandatory to underscore Intel’s strength, as the company has struggled to build cutting-edge chips so far.

Intel conducted a tour for reporters and analysts, called Fab 52, to highlight its achievements and strong rivalry with TSMC, a globally well-established semiconductor firm. This tour aimed to define Intel's manufacturing capability and showcase the chip factory that Intel will utilize for high-volume manufacturing of Panther Lake chips. However, executives at Intel did not reveal the yields of Panther Lake or the number of chips that Intel aims to produce or has the capability to develop. Nevertheless, they are redefining the odds in the semiconductor and chip production sector by presenting cutting-edge chips with their own technology and manufacturing process.
