Intel plans to release technical details about its forthcoming chip for laptops, known as Panther Lake, on Thursday, four sources briefed on the plans told Reuters. It is part of an effort to reassure investors about Intel’s first product made entirely using its next-generation manufacturing process called 18A, the sources said.

The Panther Lake chips are the company’s high-end mobile processors that are typically included in more expensive laptops and are the first high-volume Intel products to use the 18A process that the company has spent billions developing. In part because of manufacturing stumbles, Intel has steadily ceded laptop and PC market share to rival Advanced Micro Devices. Panther Lake represents an opportunity to reverse some of the losses.

The company conducted hours of technical briefings and factory tours in Arizona for industry analysts last week on the new Panther Lake microarchitecture, including detailed explanations of the graphics and central processor cores and its media engine, according to the sources. Intel revealed a redesigned AI engine and the company’s efficiency and performance processor cores, which were redesigned for the 18A manufacturing process.

The last-generation laptop chip called Lunar Lake was primarily made by Intel rival Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing.

The transistor count at wiki has not been updated in quite some time.

Intel hasn't been on this that chart in quite some time. CPUs innovation has been dominated by Apple, until recently when AMD popped up.

That last one:
