Intel Panther Lake-H Retail SKUs Unveiled: New ‘Ultra X’ Naming Scheme & Maximum Clock Speeds of 5.1 GHz

Intel’s upcoming Panther Lake-H series is making waves as the first insights into its naming conventions emerge. The tech giant appears poised to revamp its naming strategy once again, which could significantly affect how consumers perceive its product lineup.

Intel’s Panther Lake-H: A New Naming Strategy on the Horizon

The Panther Lake-H launch promises to be a major milestone for Intel, as it will be built on the advanced 18A fabrication process. This generation is rumored to include a range of architectural improvements, alongside established features like its core and thread count, integrated graphics, and an NPU engine. However, the specifics regarding individual WeU names remained elusive until recently.

According to a report from IndieKings, Intel could introduce a reimagined naming convention, shifting to an ‘Ultra X’ scheme that includes models like Ultra X5, Ultra X7, and Ultra X9. This marks a notable departure from previous naming structures and may create some confusion among consumers.

Interestingly, the report indicates these models fall under the Nova Lake-H umbrella. This seems inconsistent with earlier information, suggesting that Nova Lake will feature under the Core Ultra 400 series, while the listed models belong to the Core Ultra 300 family. The expected models include:

Core Ultra X7 368H
Core Ultra X7 358H
Core Ultra X5 338H
Core Ultra X9 388H

While precise specifications for these WeUs have not been fully detailed, early indications suggest that the Ultra X9 388H variant will focus on high-performance P-Cores, likely serving as the flagship of the Panther Lake-H lineup. This model is anticipated to integrate 12 Xe3 GPU cores and achieve clock speeds of up to 5.1 GHz. Similarly, the Core Ultra X7 368H is projected to feature a robust integrated GPU, with the remaining options targeting mid-range performance tiers.

The WeU	P-Cores (Cougar Cove)	E-Cores (Darkmont)	LP-E Cores (Skymont?)	Xe3 GPU Cores (Celestial)	PL1 TDP	PL2 TDP
Panther Lake-H	4	8	4	12	25W	45W
Panther Lake-H	4	8	4	4	25W	45W
Panther Lake-H	4	8	0	4	25W	45W
Panther Lake-U	4	0	4	4	15W	45W
Panther Lake-U	2	0	4	4	15W	45W

This leak indicates yet another shift in naming conventions by Intel, which may lead to some confusion among consumers. As we further explore the details surrounding the Panther Lake series, many professionals anticipate that an official announcement is forthcoming this month. This will provide crucial insights into Intel’s trajectory within the consumer CPU market.
