Give it away, everyone, for the first laptop based on the Intel Panther Lake, Acer Swift 16 AI. Acer shows off the up-to-date portable at the IFA 2025 show Despite the fact that the up-to-date laptop is not available for sale only at the beginning of next year.
Panther Lake is of course a critical Intel mobile processor that will once debut the most essential 18A knot. Expected that there will be the brand Intel Core Ultra 300 Series, Panther Lake Sports Cove Cove Cove and e-Darkmont, with similar to four core P and 12 e-circuits.
Perhaps more invigorating for us, Panther Lake will have the next generation of Intel “Celestial” Tech graphics XE3, and the rumor is a maximum of 12 XE3 cores. The current Lunar Lake laptop system has eight IGPU cores of the XE2 specifications and is quite competitive with an equivalent AMD Strix Point laptop in terms of games. So 12 XE3 cores should represent a decent game update.
Panther Lake will also bring a vast escalate in AI performance. Lunar Lake can hit the combined capacity of 120 AI peaks from the combined power of its NPU and GPU, but Panther Lake raises them to 180 tops.
This is critical because the large pitch for Lake Panther and Acer Swift 16 AI, according to vice president, Intel Jim Johnson, is “Introduction of AI and Agentic AI agents for a local computer”. In other words, to start AI locally on a real computer or laptop instead of in the cloud.
In addition, Acer Swift 16 AI also claims that it has the world’s largest touch touch and has a 16-inch OLED screen with 16 HP and up to 32 GB of LPDDR5X memory. What’s more, the fact that it was shown at IFA 2025 suggests that the up-to-date Intel 18A system remains on a regular basis to go to production this year, with the first Panther Lake laptops for sale at the beginning of 2026.
He was once when everything seemed to depend on Panther Lake and the 18a process node, which would debut. The former general director of Pat Gelsinger said he put Intel to 18a and was to be the basis for introducing Intel into a up-to-date era as Fab, creating fries for the rest of the computer industry.
Under the up-to-date CEO of Lip BU Tan Intel, it moved quite dramatically. The emphasis on foundry activities is now 14A, not 18A, and this is only when you can find customers. If they cannot, then 14A can be completely canceled, and with it, probably Intel’s ambitions to create their own tokens, not to mention these clients.
Ultimately, Intel remains in the flow and nobody will guess if 18A will be good. The same applies to whether it will be used for other chips outside the Panther Lake, and whether there will ever be 14a, and whether the status of Intel as an integrated design and production house has a long -term future.
