The CPU and PCI IDs of Intel's next-generation Panther Lake CPUs in A0 and B0 stepping are revealed along with GT3 and GT2 tier iGPUs.

Intel's Next-Gen Panther Lake CPUs Spotted: A0 and B0 Step Up to Celestial “GT3” and “GT2” Tier Xe3-LPG iGPUs

Intel's next-generation Panther Lake CPUs are expected to debut in the second half of 2025 with production plans on the 18A process node expected in the first half of 2025. Clearwater Forest E-Core being the only Xeon family.

Last month, Intel Confirmed that its Panther Lake CPUs were already in fabs and on track for a mid-2025 launch. Based on the information we have right now, these chips will use Cougar Cove P-Core architecture and Skymont E-Core architecture. They will house an advanced NPU that will provide 2x AI TOPs compared to Lunar Lake. Which itself is expected to offer more than 100 platform AI TOPs. Intel is also expected to use its own Intel 3 process node for the SOC tile while the iGPU tile is expected to be fabricated using an external node from TSMC, most likely the N3 or N3.

The graphics tile on Intel Panther Lake CPUs is going to be quite interesting. Despite rumors suggesting that Intel has pulled back on its discrete GPU development.will continue to stay on track with the integrated graphics segment. Celestial “Xe3” is the most likely candidate for next generation CPUs.. Intel's Arc Celestial GPU architecture is going to be a follow-up to its Battlemage “Xe2-LPG” architecture. Debut on Lunar Lake CPUs later this year.

So coming back to the IDs, it looks like Intel already has the first A0 and B0 ready to step on the Panther Lake CPU as they are now listed with their respective IDs of “0xC06C0” and “0xC06C1”. Is. Core bot.

Apart from these, PCI IDs are also listed for iGPUs that come in GT3 and GT2 flavors. Note that these IDs are only for the Panther Lake-P chips that are going to be the standard mobile lineup. Intel Panther Leak-U chips have also been spotted in leaked test tools a while back.. In addition to these, Lunar Lake-M chips are also listed with their respective GT2 “Battlemage Xe2-LPG” IDs. The Lunar Lake CPU has two A0 steppings including “0xb06d0” and 0xb06d1.

This year, Intel is going to focus mostly on its Arrow Lake and Lunar Lake “Core Ultra 200” series chips, so we're likely to hear more about Panther Lake CPUs by CES 2025. It seems like everyone is rushing to talk about their next-generation AI PC platforms.
