Intel unveiled the first details about its upcoming laptop chip lineup: Panther Lake. These are the company's first chips to made using its flagship manufacturing process called 18A. Moreover, these are also the first chips to support Samsung's innovative DRAM form factor called LPCAMM.Intel's Panther Lake laptops chip support Samsung's LPCAMM DRAM standardOnce a market leader in the laptop chip segment, Intel is trying to make a comeback with its new lineup of chips. Its Panther Lake chips, which are fabricated on its 18A process node, were announced yesterday. They use a combination of Cougar Cove performance CPU cores, Darkmont efficiency CPU cores, and an integrated Intel Arc GPU based on the Xe3 graphics architecutre to offer faster performance and higher power efficiency. The chips also feature an integrated NPU (NPU5) capable of performing up to 50 trillion operations per second (TOPS) for AI inference. In addition to DDR SO-DIMM and LPDDR5X, these chips are compatible with Samsung’s LPCAMM DRAM module, which supports speeds of up to 9,600 MT/s. LPCAMM is a new standard unveiled at CES 2025 earlier this year, with significant contributions from Samsung. It improves upon Dell’s CAMM form factor and is an ideal choice for laptops due to its compact yet user-replacable design. Dell submitted the CAMM design to JEDEC and then Samsung and Micron improved upon it.Other features of these Panther Lake chips include integrated Thunderbolt 4 (up to 40 Gbps), Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6.0, LE Audio with Auracast, and up to 12 lanes of PCIe Gen 5 connectivity. Laptops based on these chips will reach the market sometime in early 2026, after the chips launch officially during CES 2026.Samsung could launch its next-generation Galaxy Book laptops based on Intel’s Panther Lake chips. These chips are expected to be used in the Galaxy Book 6, Galaxy Book 6 Pro, and Galaxy Book 6 Ultra, which will likely go official sometime next year. We recently reported that the Galaxy Book 6 laptops will feature a centred trackpad and lack a dedicated number pad.The post Intel’s new laptop chips are the first to support Samsung’s new RAM standard appeared first on SamMobile.
