Hardware & Co has published high-resolution die shots of 's upcoming processors following . Captured using a macro lens on uncut wafers, these images were shared by enthusiast InstLatX64, revealing the architecture of the new hardware.
The shots detail the compute tile, part of the Core Ultra Series 3 family. Built on the Intel 18A process, the tile features Cougar Cove P-cores, Darkmont E-core clusters, a low-power cluster, and integrated media and display engine components.
This leak provides a rare look at Intel's next-gen silicon, including Wildcat Lake and Clearwater Forest. While the compute tile is dense, the Xe3 graphics hardware remains on a separate die, marking a key design choice for the 18A-based Panther Lake chips.
