Recent shipment records indicate that Samsung is gearing up to launch new laptops powered by Intel’s Panther Lake processors. Although there has been no official announcement or showcase from Samsung regarding these laptops, competitors like Acer have already displayed their Panther Lake offerings during the IFA 2025 event.
Insights from Shipment Logs: Intel’s Panther Lake Chips for Samsung Laptops
The impending launch of Intel’s Panther Lake processors has amplified excitement in the laptop industry, with several manufacturers already presenting their products. Notably, Acer unveiled its Swift 16 AI, emphasizing advancements in this technology. Recent findings shared by @x86deadandback reveal that Samsung has also started preparations for its next-generation laptops, as indicated by an NBD shipment manifest from May, which confirms that Intel initiated shipments of Panther Lake chips to the company.
The shipment log lists BGA2540 as the designated socket for these Panther Lake chips, along with a note that clarifies these are “64-bit MPU (for R&D purpose)”, indicating they are engineering samples meant for testing. While details on the development stage remain sparse, it suggests that Samsung is poised to integrate these CPUs into their upcoming laptops. Expectations are set for a potential reveal of Panther Lake-based Samsung Galaxy notebooks by late 2025 or early 2026.
Details about the specific Panther Lake variant included in these shipments, whether it be Panther Lake-H or Panther Lake-U, have yet to be disclosed. Currently, Samsung’s Galaxy notebooks utilize Arrow Lake-U chips, leading to a speculation that they may transition to PTL-U for enhanced efficiency and a lighter profile in their upcoming models.
The specifications for PTL-H indicate a 25W power rating, while PTL-U is set at a more efficient 15W. The PTL-U will support configurations featuring up to 8 cores, balanced as 4 P-Cores and 4 LP-E Cores. Notably, PTL-U will omit efficient cores, likely providing 6 to 8 core setups. On the integrated graphics front, the processors will leverage Xe3 architecture with four GPU cores. In contrast, PTL-H designs will cater to both premium and mainstream markets, featuring up to 16 CPU cores and 12 GPU cores.
