Kuai Technology reported on August 25 that AMD processors have been slow to update on the mobile side. The high-end Medusa Halo seems to have been cancelled. The flagship notebook will not have a new generation of Gator Range until the next year. Intel also has bad news.
According to information obtained from OEM manufacturers by exposure expert momomo_us,Intel's flagship gaming platform will not be updated in 2026, and will continue to be Arrow Lake-HX, which is the Core Ultra 200HX series. It seems to have been negotiated with AMD...
Panther Lake will be released as scheduled at the end of this year and will be launched on a large scale early next year. However, there is only the H series for mainstream notebooks, and there is neither HX series nor U series.
As for the thin and light platform, Wildcat Lake will usher in, corresponding to the existing Arrow Lake-U series and Lunar Lake series. It seems that it will be released at the end of the first quarter or the beginning of the second quarter of 2026.
Wildcat Lake is actually an entry-level product specifically targeted at Chromebooks, cheap notebooks, minis, NAS, and even embedded devices. It is similar to the early Pentium N and Celeron N series, with large and small core designs, up to 2+4, and Xe2 core display. It is said that it may even use the 18A process.
My personal guess is that it will not be the main product, and Panther Lake should also be widely used in thin and light notebooks.
