Intel Panther Lake CPUs outed in HWMonitor

HWMonitor version 1.60 has confirmed the naming scheme and lineup for Intel’s Panther Lake CPUs ahead of their CES 2026 debut. The update includes support for all three known series: Core Ultra X H, Core Ultra H, and Core Ultra U. Each category contains four SKUs, aligning with prior leaks.

The Core Ultra X H series features high-performance chips with up to 12 Xe3 GPU cores. The standard H series matches core configurations but cuts GPU cores to four. The U series focuses on efficiency, drops E-cores, and uses only Performance and LP-E cores. Panther Lake CPUs will use Intel’s 18A process, while graphics may come from either TSMC N3E or Intel 3 nodes.
