Intel talks gaming on new Panther Lake integrated 12-core GPUs

The 12-core version of the Panther Lake iGPU is obviously the one to watch, jumping core count over Lunar Lake by 50 percent and giving a huge graphics boost to thin-and-light laptops (and possibly even PC gaming handhelds, currently dominated by AMD's Ryzen Z series). In addition to the usual power boost that newer chips get, the Xe3 series is getting new intelligent bias control powers for more game-specific resource management, x3 and x4 frame generation for all games that support XeSS 2, and a handful of other optimizations.

But it's designed to last almost forever on battery — 20 hours or so — and do it while weighing under one kilogram (2.16 pounds). Other highlights include a roomy and vibrant 1920×1200 OLED screen, a decent selection of ports (two USB-C, one USB-A, full-sized HDMI), and an IR webcam for Windows Hello face unlock. My favorite feature is the stone-like "Ceraluminum" finish of the body, giving it a unique sandy color and a slightly grippy feel.

Qualcomm's first-gen Snapdragon laptops still struggle with gaming, and with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage, this slinky little laptop isn't going to handle massive, processor-intensive workloads. But it's served me very well over the last few months, offering up a great browser machine with solid typing that won't weigh me down in a laptop bag. For a more thorough breakdown check out the full PCWorld review, but keep in mind that's a model with more RAM and a slightly faster processor.
