A new DFI motherboard promises to provide Panther Lake power in a petite package.
Intel’s Panther Lake is the company’s next-generation series of mobile processors that will succeed Arrow Lake in the mid-range „H“ class as well as Lunar Lake in the odd „V“ in-between power class. We won’t be seeing Panther Lake products launching for at least a couple more months, but there are already motherboards and laptops popping up in some surprising places promising Panther Lake power.
The key product that we’re going to focus on today is the DFI PTH171/PTH173 industrial motherboard, and that’s because we have the most details about it. This board is listed as Preliminary, so we don’t know everything, but there’s still a lot to cover. DFI’s advertising Panther Lake H processors up to 25W, and dual-channel DDR5 up to 128GB running at 7200 MT/s.
