The shipment manifest reveals that Samsung is preparing laptops based on Intel’s Panther Lake chips. Although Samsung hasn’t confirmed or showcased these laptops yet, other companies like Acer have already done so at the IFA 2025.
**NBD Shipment Logs Show Intel Has Already Shipped Panther Lake Chips to Samsung for its Next-Gen Laptops a Few Months Ago**
Intel started shipping Panther Lake chips to Samsung in May. According to NBD shipment logs, the shipment included samples with BGA2540 as the socket and “64-bit MPU (for R&D purpose),” indicating these were engineering samples sent for testing.
The logs show that Samsung is likely readying its next-gen laptops with these upcoming Intel chips. We may see Panther Lake-based Samsung Galaxy notebooks before the end of this year or early 2026.
Additional details, such as specific variants shipped, are not available. It could be either Panther Lake-H (25W) or Panther Lake-U (15W), depending on Samsung’s preference for its first batch of laptops. Samsung currently uses Arrow Lake-U chips in its Galaxy notebooks and is likely to transition to PTL-U for a lightweight and power-efficient experience.
**Intel Panther Lake CPU Configurations**
Here are the configurations:
– **Panther Lake-H**: 4 P-Cores, 8 E-Cores, 4 LP-E Cores, 12 Xe3 GPU Cores, 25W PL1 TDP
– **Panther Lake-H**: Similar to above but with 4 Xe3 GPU Cores instead of 12
– **Panther Lake-H**: 4 P-Cores, 8 E-Cores, 0 LP-E Cores, 4 Xe3 GPU Cores, 25W PL1 TDP
– **Panther Lake-U**: 4 P-Cores, 0 E-Cores, 4 LP-E Cores, 4 Xe3 GPU Cores, 15W PL1 TDP
– **Panther Lake-U**: 2 P-Cores, 0 E-Cores, 4 LP-E Cores, 4 Xe3 GPU Cores, 15W PL1 TDP
While PTL-H will be rated at 25W, the PTL-U will stick to 15W of TDP rating. The integrated graphics will be based on Xe3 architecture with four GPU cores.
The Panther Lake chips are expected to offer up to 8 cores and configurations ranging from 6 to 8 core setups.
