US EditionIntel Hopes Its New Chip Can Be the Future of AI. An Executive Explains How
Intel's Panther Lake CPUs aim to improve battery life and AI performance, powering over 200 new PC designs and expanding into robotics and embedded markets, analyst says.
- This year at CES in Las Vegas, Intel unveiled the Panther Lake family under the Intel Core Ultra Series 3 brand, which will appear in almost every major new laptop this year and support embedded uses including robotics.
- Facing market-share losses and cuts, Intel has seen its laptop share drop to 78% by mid-2025 and reduced its workforce by 15% last year, amid a historic U.S. government stake of roughly 10%.
- Intel is claiming up to 27 hours of battery life, 60% better multi-threaded performance versus Lunar Lake and 77% better gaming performance, while Panther Lake is the first high-volume chip using the Intel 18A process and partners plan more than 200 PC designs.
- Oversonic Robotics plans to adopt Intel's Core Ultra 3 for its robots, Intel spokesperson Nina Mehlhaf said, while Jim Johnson said Intel is "getting back in shape," and Wall Street rallied as Intel shares gained roughly 84% in 2025.
- With Panther Lake's success critical to the turnaround, it must prove itself as devices begin shipping later this month to validate Intel 18A and 14A and attract foundry customers amid AMD and Qualcomm competition.
