In the next generation of Intel Panther Lake processors, a next-generation graphics core has been discovered, which is almost 50% more powerful
A new leak has revealed additional information about the upcoming Intel Panther Lake mobile processors. This time, the Geekbench database featured the Core Ultra 5 338H chip — the first representative of the series without the 'X' index, allowing a better understanding of the new lineup structure.
The processor has a 12-core configuration that Geekbench identifies as 8+4 — two computing clusters. At the same time, previous leaks indicate a more detailed structure: 4 performance cores (P-core), 4 energy-efficient cores (E-core), and 4 ultra-low power cores (LPE-core), which seems more plausible for the mobile segment.
The most interesting thing is the new built-in Arc B370 graphics, which replaces the T-branding used in Lunar Lake. The name 'B' may indicate the Xe2 Battlemage architecture, although it is not ruled out that Geekbench simply incorrectly identified the graphics unit on a pre-series device.
In the Vulkan test, the new iGPU scored 39,406 points, which is about 45% more than the previous Arc 130V (27,209 points). This almost corresponds to Intel's stated 50% performance increase for Panther Lake graphics.
Earlier mentions of Core Ultra X9 388H and Core Ultra X7 358H models have already appeared on the network, but Core Ultra 5 338H is the one that allows us to see how the mid-range segment will look without the 'X' index for the first time. Intel is expected to officially unveil the Panther Lake series in early 2026.
