Panther Lake is the most important chip Intel has made in years. It's the one that will tell the world if a smaller, more focused Intel can still meet or beat the competition from Apple, AMD, and Qualcomm. It's the first on Intel's 18A process, the one Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger claimed would right the ship and make Intel a manufacturing leader before he was unceremoniously shown the door last December.

More battery life, more performance …
