I'm curious to see how much Panther Lake laptops will cost compared to Lunar Lake, which was entirely manufactured by TSMC.

Technically, there are 3 dies in Lunar Lake and one is manufactured by Intel, and the packaging is also done by Intel. But the Intel die is a passive 22nm interposer connecting the TSMC N3 and N6 active dies.

Panther Lake is interesting, but I want to see how well the cheap Wildcat Lake can do with the same cores.

Technically, that’s just a rumor based on speculation over some circumstantial evidence. Not saying it isn’t true, but it’s not fact at this point in time so don’t present it as such. It would suck if it’s true though, since the performance wouldn’t be as good. That and it would be weird since it is supposed to have backside power delivery, which n3 doesn’t offer.

Perhaps you're confusing what product they're talking about, but LNL is exactly as they describe. It's two TSMC fabbed tiles on top of an Intel base die packaged entirely by Intel as they also sourced the memory for LNL.

Given that prior PTL leaks indicated Skymont E-cores I think the Darkmont confirmation is the interesting thing here. I'm really curious what client performance for Darkmont will look like since Skymont was already a big leap.

Lunar Lake does not have BSPD and was never intended to.
