Yeah the rumor mill has to make money and feed their need for attention somehow. This rumor is total garbage. Even if it ends up being true, it's way too early for even Intel engineers on the project to know where it will end up. They can set targets all they'd like...
Seems unlikely to me. 18AP is probably what, single digits faster than 18A? Unless they do something like pop a big 256 in it or a huge cache, or jam a ton of power into it, or make some kind of jumbo socket… doesn’t make sense.
Panther lake igpu is already very good. 20-25% on top of that will be insane.
2026 CES just completed
And we are now getting rumors of a 2027 iGPU... talk about a time wrap

nova will probably be 2nm or mixed 2nm + 18ap with lower defects rather than first ramp 18a like panther. they make the iGPU wider is my guess.
Meanwhile Medusa Point (zen 6, 2027) is rumoured to use rdna3.5 with REDUCED CU count btw
Nova lake is going to impress
Fast and high bandwidth unified memory setup?
Isn't nova lake a desktop cpu? Why desktop cpu need this level of igpu? Imo old good uhd graphics are fine
It will be both mobile and desktop.
