Intel’s Panther Lake processor made on its latest 18A manufacturing process is 6% to 7% slower in both single-core and multi-core performance than previous Lunar Lake processors made on TSMC 3nm, media report, citing benchmark leaks from Geekbench, reported by Taiwan’s Techbang. Techbang said early tests are noteworthy but warned not to rush to conclusions because the Intel 18A chips are just early engineering samples, which are often underclocked to prevent overheating, will be further optimized by software, for example, to instruct the computer how to best use the new chip and its features, and more. The final version of the chip will reveal all. $Intel(INTC.US) $Taiwan Semiconductor(TSM.US) #Semiconductors
