Intel's Upcoming Panther Lake Notebooks Reportedly Delayed to 2026
A renowned industry analyst has claimed that Intel’s Panther Lake SoC powered devices may not come out till 2026 which is going to impact the company’s revenue. Panther Lake is the next generation of mobile processors from Team Blue and the first to be based on the 18A process. The lackluster performance of 18A, Intel’s semiconductor manufacturing process, has led to a delay in production timelines.
- The fragile nature of modern semiconductor manufacturing processes highlights the importance of iterative design improvements and strategic investments in research and development for companies like Intel.
- Will the prolonged delay in Panther Lake's release lead to increased competition for Intel from alternative manufacturers, potentially disrupting its market share in the long term?
