La generación de CPU Panther Lake de Intel está en camino de lanzarse a mediados de 2025, Las capacidades de IA experimentarán un impulso significativo

Intel’s CEO, Pat Gelsinger, has confirmed that the upcoming 18A process of the Panther Lake CPU generation is on schedule for a mid-2025 release, which aligns with the initial projection. This development marks a significant milestone in the company’s ongoing efforts to integrate AI capabilities into its processors. The mid-2025 release date is expected to follow the debut of Intel’s Arrow Lake process in late 2024 or early 2025, a release that holds the promise of significant advancements in AI computing. During Intel’s Q1 2024 Quarterly Results, Gelsinger expressed confidence in the company’s AI capabilities, stating that the Core Ultra platform currently delivers leadership AI performance and that the next-generation platforms, Lunar Lake and Arrow Lake, will launch later this year, tripling AI performance. He also mentioned that the Panther Lake generation, listo para lanzar en 2025, will grow AI performance up to an additional 2x.

The Panther Lake generation represents the culmination of three generations of work in a short time and is expected to continue Intel’s iterative approach. This transition is marked by a shift from a hybrid architecture, a combination of different types of processors, to a disaggregated die, where different components of the processor are separated, as AI computing becomes increasingly prominent. This strategic move is aimed at optimizing AI performance and flexibility. This marks the third generation of the Intel Core Ultra series, following Ultra 100 (Meteor Lake), Ultra 200 (Hitman Absolution Edición Profesional PS3 Playstation), and Lunar Lake (200V). Intel’s release strategy mirrors the pattern set by the Hybrid Architecture, with Alder Lake debuting in 2021, followed by Raptor Lake in 2022, and a refreshed Raptor Lake released last year to bridge the gap until LGA 1851 was ready. Sin embargo, Intel’s roadmap has seen adjustments in the past, such as the initial promise of an Arrow Lake release before the end of 2024, which was later retracted. The mid-2025 release of Panther Lake aligns with rumors of Arrow Lake’s late 2024 or early 2025 debut, suggesting that the 18A process CPU generation could debut several months after Arrow Lake.
