Intel Panther Lake-S Expected To Bring +13% IPC Improvement

Expert Verified By

Expected To Arrive In 2025!

Story Highlight
  • The Core Ultra 200S will be slower than AMD’s options, with no major plans for 2025 after canceling the Arrow Lake-S Refresh.
  • Intel plans to release the Panther Lake-S processor sooner than expected, aiming to enhance performance before the Nova Lake series.
  • Panther Lake-S is rumored to include new P-Cores and E-Cores, potentially achieving an IPC gain of up to 13%.

Intel previously stated that the current Core Ultra 200S will be slower than AMD’s existing options on the market. Making it evident that following its restructuring, Intel had nothing planned for the PC market for the upcoming year.

At the very least, users who were hoping for competition with the Ryzen 9000 are disappointed. As a result, Intel had 2025 “empty” up until this point following the abandonment of Arrow Lake-S Refresh for obvious reasons.

Why it matters: The potential enhancements promised by Panther Lake-S suggest that Intel is positioning itself to regain ground against AMD.

Panther Lake-S is now expected to arrive with better features on PC. Intel will not sit back and do nothing in the PC market for the upcoming year. Instead, it will follow the same course of action as it did this year.

Intel is now considering moving forward with the launch of Panther Lake-S. Although it is currently rumored that Intel would advance the arrival of Panther Lake-S to next year, Nova Lake is expected to join the market in 2026 with Cougar Cove cores in the P-Core and Darkmont in the E-Core, with higher IPC gains.

Panther Lake-S may be the first to pave the way for Nova Lake. If Panther Lake acquires P-Cores Cougar Cove and E-Cores Darkmont, the combination would see an IPC rise of up to +13%.

Furthermore, the rumor is that Intel will reuse every Tile except the Compute Tile, which would be the only one updated without changing its physical dimensions. This means we could be looking at another 8+16 core configuration.
