A 720P HD webcam with a single-integrated microphone rests in the top bezel, making it easy to participate in remote classes and Zoom calls.

Intel's Panther Lake chip on a gradient background

Spotted inside an engineering sample of the Core Ultra 5 338H (part of the upcoming Panther Lake family), the chip was tested on FurMark’s 1440p OpenGL workload, hitting a score of 2,383 points.

To put that in perspective, this integrated chip is 33% faster than Intel’s actual desktop graphics card, the Arc A380, and 70% faster than the current Lunar Lake chips. Even more impressive? It did this while sipping just 36W of power, running at a cool 2.3 GHz.
