Intel’s Panther Cove architecture is expected to boost Instructions Per Clock (IPC) which means getting tasks done faster.
The Panther Cove is a big change with large IPC boost and APX/AVX10.
The Panther Lake CPUs will use the Cougar Cove architecture not Panther Cove. Arrow Lake CPUs will use the Lion Cove for performance cores.
Panther Lake CPUs are expected to arrive in 2025, will be laptop CPUs and use the Cougar Cove architecture.
The apparent message about chip and core evolution is clear – we’re due a big jump in performance with Arrow Lake, a more modest one with Panther Lake.
The family using Panther Cove is expected to deliver a big performance boost – quite possibly the Core Ultra 400 chips.
APX support – which stands for Advanced Performance Extensions – will also help speed up apps.
Intel's CPU naming schemes can be confusing.
Intel’s CPU future seems brighter with the arrival of Lunar Lake mobile chips which have impressed already.
Large gains are in the pipeline for the architecture that follows Arrow and Panther Lake.
