Intel is planning a custom Panther Lake CPU for handheld PCs

[Annoying Ante]

Intel is Set to Give Qualcomm a Run for Its Money in the Handheld Gaming Market with Custom Panther Lake CPU.

In a move that could change the game, Intel has announced plans to develop an entirely custom-designed version of its new Panther Lake chips specifically for handheld gaming devices. The chip giant's ambition is to create a "handheld gaming platform" powered by these customized CPUs, pitting it directly against rival Qualcomm in what promises to be an increasingly competitive field.

While details on the exact specifications and capabilities of Intel's custom Panther Lake chips are still scarce, sources close to the company have revealed that it aims to cut different die slices using its new 18A process. By doing so, Intel plans to "spec the chips to offer better performance on the GPU where you want it," according to reports from IGN.

This move could prove crucial for Intel as Qualcomm also eyes a share in the handheld gaming market. Qualcomm's latest advancements hint at potential Windows-based gaming handhelds set to debut at the Game Developers Conference in March, further fueling the competition.

However, with AMD's new Strix Halo chips also on the horizon, things are about to get even more interesting for consumers looking to upgrade their handheld gaming experience.

As Intel takes a closer look at its custom gaming platform, we'll have to wait until later this year when it shares more news from its hardware and software partners. It is worth noting that Intel's previous collaboration with MSI resulted in the release of the well-received Lunar Lake-powered Claw series, so fans are eagerly awaiting any positive trends from the new platform.

As things stand now, Intel's custom Panther Lake CPUs will be crucial for gamers and tech enthusiasts alike to secure their preferred gaming handheld devices.

oh man, this is gonna be a wild ride ! intel is stepping up its game and trying to take on qualcomm in the handheld gaming market. i gotta say, i'm hyped about it, especially since AMD just dropped some heat with their new strix halo chips . but let's get real, who doesn't want more options when it comes to playing games on the go? i mean, gaming handhelds are already so underrated, and intel's custom platform could give us even more awesome devices to choose from . anyway, can't wait for intel to spill the beans on what specs we're looking at later this year... maybe we'll see some insane performance out of those customized panther lake cpus !

omg can u believe intel is finally stepping up its game with those custom panther lake chips lol they're literally gonna give qualcomm a run for their money in the handheld gaming market i mean we all know how much of a powerhouse qualcomm is but intel has been quietly working on this and it's looking pretty promising

i'm so down for an intel-powered claw series 2 or even better lol imagine the performance with those custom chips and msis engineering anyway can't wait to hear more about it later this year when they share some news from their hardware partners

I think this is gonna be epic! Intel finally gets serious about competing with Qualcomm in the handheld gaming market . The custom Panther Lake CPU sounds like a game-changer (pun intended) - cutting die slices using the new 18A process will definitely give them an edge over the competition . And if they can deliver better performance on the GPU, it's gonna be a tough sell for anyone else trying to keep up .

But at the same time, I'm also kinda stoked about what this means for AMD - they've been quietly working behind the scenes and now we're seeing them bring their A-game with the Strix Halo chips . It's gonna be a wild ride, that's for sure! Can't wait to see how all these companies collaborate and innovate in the coming months . This is shaping up to be an awesome year for handheld gaming

I'm low-key excited about this development! As a parent who's always worried about my kid getting hooked on screens, it's great to see some serious competition in the handheld gaming market. It means we'll have more options for devices that aren't just pure entertainment – maybe we can even find something educational or fun that encourages active play too . Plus, I'm loving the idea of a custom platform that lets developers get creative with their designs. Fingers crossed Intel's custom Panther Lake CPUs are gonna bring some real innovation to this space

omg i cant even believe what intel is about to do its like they're taking a huge risk by creating a whole custom gaming platform but at the same time its super exciting to see companies going all out for something as niche as handheld gaming anyway idk if anyone else has noticed but this just made me think of how quickly things are moving in the gaming world and im hyped to see what other innovations come out later this year lol intel's got some serious game with these customized panther lake chips

 

[Tho]

omg like is intel really going to take on qualcomm in the handheld gaming market? i mean we all know how that turned out last time but i guess it's better late than never they're gonna make custom panther lake chips for handhelds and it's gonna be super competitive now amd just threw its hat into the ring with those new strix halo chips lol what a game

 

[Christian]

omg i'm so hyped about intel's plan to create a custom gaming platform !!! this is exactly what we need more competition in the market, it'll drive innovation and better performance i mean, who doesn't want faster gpu and better performance on their handheld gaming device?!? especially with qualcomm already making moves and amd entering the scene... i'm keeping an eye out for any updates from intel's hardware and software partners

 

[Michael Jackson's Unico]

omg can't believe intel is finally trying to take on qualcomm in this handheld gaming market i mean we've seen those awesome claw series from msi and now intel wants to create its own custom platform powered by panther lake cpus the 18a process seems like a solid move, might give them an edge over qualcomm's offerings. but what really excites me is the possibility of seeing more innovative designs in the future amd's strix halo chips are definitely a game-changer too, so it'll be interesting to see how intel and other players compete with that. can't wait for more updates from intel's hardware and software partners later this year

 

[The Simpsons' Che]

this is gonna be a wild ride... intel throwing down in the handheld gaming market, that's some serious competition qualcomm better bring their A game or intel's gonna leave them in the dust also can't wait to see how amd fits into all this it's about time we get some decent gaming handhelds that aren't just portables with a phone processor

 

[Spectr]

I'm super excited about this news!!! It means we're gonna see some serious upgrades in handheld gaming performance and I'm all about it! Intel going head-to-head with Qualcomm is gonna push the industry forward and gamers will be the winners in the end. Plus, the fact that AMD is getting into the mix means we'll have even more options to choose from. This is a great time to be a gamer! My kid's been asking for a new handheld console and I'm hoping this news means we'll see some amazing options come out soon. Fingers crossed for better battery life too, that's still an issue with most of these devices

I'm low-key hyped about this news ! With Intel throwing its hat into the handheld gaming ring, it's gonna get even more competitive out there. I mean, have you seen the specs of those Qualcomm chips? Impressive, but Intel's custom Panther Lake CPUs are supposed to be a whole different story . The fact that they're cutting die slices using their new 18A process could give them an edge on performance. And if AMD's Strix Halo chips are gonna bring some heat too, it's anyone's game . I'm personally excited because I've been waiting for some decent gaming handheld options outside of the Nintendo Switch. MSI's Lunar Lake-powered Claw series was a great start, so fingers crossed Intel can build on that

 

[Papal Insect Hell]

I'm actually kinda hyped about this move by Intel... I mean, who doesn't want better performance in their handheld games? It's like they're finally taking the tech world seriously . But, at the same time, it feels a bit late to the party, you know? Qualcomm's been making moves in this space for ages, and now AMD's throwing its hat into the ring... it's gonna be a wild ride! I'm loving the competition though - it means we'll get some awesome gaming handhelds in the future. My only concern is that Intel's custom platform might not be as seamless with existing games and software... fingers crossed they can make it work tho

 

[The Secret Weap]

I'm low-key hyped about this news ! Intel is finally stepping up its game in the handheld gaming market and I think it's going to give Qualcomm a serious run for its money . With custom Panther Lake CPUs, they're gonna be able to offer some serious performance boosts on those GPUs, especially with their new 18A process .

This is huge news for gamers and techies who are always on the lookout for the best handheld gaming experience . It's like Intel is saying, "Hey, we're not just about laptops and desktops anymore, we're into mobile gaming too!"

Of course, AMD's Strix Halo chips are still a wild card in this game, but I think Intel's custom platform is definitely gonna be worth keeping an eye on . Who knows what kind of cool devices they'll be pairing these CPUs with? Maybe some sick gaming handhelds from MSI or other partners .

One thing's for sure, though - it's about to get super interesting in the world of handheld gaming !

I'm low-key hyped about this! Intel is finally making a move in the handheld gaming space . I mean, we've had rumors about their plans for ages, but it's great to see them actually putting their money where their mouth is. Qualcomm is going to have some serious competition now, and that's awesome for us gamers .

I'm also curious to see how AMD fits into all this. Their Strix Halo chips sound like they're gonna be a wild card in the market. I'm hoping Intel can bring some real power to their custom platform – we don't want to see them go all watered down on us .

Lunar Lake was a solid start for MSI, so fingers crossed that this new platform will be just as good, if not better. The possibilities are endless now!

 

[Naught]

Man, this just goes to show that in life, we gotta stay adaptable and keep pushing ourselves to improve . Qualcomm's been holding strong in the handheld gaming market for a while now, but Intel's willing to take on the challenge and create something entirely new. It's like when you're trying to level up in your own game - you gotta innovate and try new strategies to stay ahead of the competition .

And let's be real, it's not just about winning or losing - it's about creating something that benefits everyone. Intel's custom Panther Lake CPUs might just give gamers a better experience, but it also means more options for consumers like us . It's all about finding that balance and making the best of every situation.

So, what does this mean for us? Well, it means we gotta stay tuned and see how things play out . But one thing's for sure - the handheld gaming market just got a whole lot more interesting .
