After the presentation of the new Lunar Lake processors Ultra 200 Core Intel’s latest generation of processors, which the company says offer much greater battery life than the first generation, it’s time to focus on what the third generation of these processors, called Phantom Lake, will be like.
Although it is still too early to talk about this third generation, it seems that it has become customary to talk about the next generation of a product when the new one has just been presented.
Intel Core Ultra 300 processors
The third generation of Intel Core Ultra processors will be manufactured on the 18A node and will integrate cores Skymont And Cougar Cove. The Skymont cores will be an optimization of the one currently used by the Lunar Lake range that has just been presented, while the Cougar Cave is a new generation of P cores. As for the graphics, we are talking about Intel Arc Xe3.
Early rumors of Intel’s next-gen Phantom Lake Core Ultra claim it will be available in 5 SKUaccording to popular leaker Jaykihn via X (Twitter). Based on this leaked information, we see how two SKUs will have a similar configuration with 4 P cores, 8 E cores, and 4 25W LPE cores.
However, one of them will have a higher graphics configuration with up to 12 Xe3 CoresHalfway between the five SKUs that Intel reportedly intends to launch with the third generation of Core Ultra 300 processors, there is one with 4 P cores and 4 LPE cores, without E cores and with a 4-core GPU and with the same TDP of 25W.
I can’t fully update the pre-EDS PTL-H as I don’t have the full values for each line, but just to clarify, the final SKUs are:
PTL-H 4+8+4+4Xe 25W
PTL-H 4+8+4+12Xe 25W
PTL-H 4+0+4+4Xe 25WThe SKUs in the pre-EDS are:
PTL-H 6+8+4+4Xe 45W
PTL-H 6+8+4+12Xe 28WSeptember 5, 2024 • 02:26
The most powerful configuration of the different SKUs of the next generation of these Intel processors will be 6 P-cores, 8 E-cores and 4 LPE-cores. This configuration will be available with a 4-core Xe3 graphics card and a 12-core Xe3 graphics card with a TDP of 45 and 28W respectively.
It is important to note that these last two SKUs are not final, but are information that Intel provides to its partners, so it is possible that they will undergo some changes over time.
These references correspond to the range Lake Phanter-H and they will probably come to market with different clock configurations. Regarding the range Lake Phanter-U They will offer a lower TDP than the H range, although no information has been released on this at the moment.
According to the information announced by Intel on the Core Ultra 200, everything seems to indicate that it will be the best option on the market, above the Ryzen range and the ARM processors Qualcomm’s products, which have only been on the market for a few months. Of course, we’ll have to wait for the first performance tests to see if Intel has done its homework.
The launch of Intel’s Phantel Lake processor lineup is scheduled for the second half of 2025, when the second generation that has just been presented will be on the market for a year, so the information we show you below may vary considerably depending on the coming years or simply include slight variations.
