One of the first laptops with Intel's upcoming Panther Lake processors showed up at IFA 2025 with little fanfare. At Acer's press conference in Berlin, we found the Swift 16 AI, using the upcoming chip based on Intel's 18A process.

This is the first system we've seen with Panther Lake that will head to market, but Acer is only saying that the system will launch in 2026.

We have seen the chip's progress throughout the year. At CES 2025, ODMs like Wistron, Pegatron, and Compal showed designs for systems. Then at Computex, we saw the chips in Intel's own validation systems.

At Deutsche Bank's 2025 Technology Conference, Intel Chief Financial Officer David Zisner said that "[Panther Lake] is still on track [to launch this year]... Things are looking good. Our first SKU will be out by the end of this year, and then we will have more SKUs in the first half of 2026, and you will really start to see the volume ramp as we kind of migrate through 2026." That's a long window where this laptop, as well as others using Panther Lake, could pop up. But it's likely we'll see more of Panther Lake at CES 2026 in early January.

摘要

Acer unveiled the Swift 16 AI at IFA 2025, featuring Intel's upcoming Panther Lake processor based on the 18A process. The laptop includes a 3K OLED display with 120Hz refresh rate, up to 32GB LPDDR5X memory, Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6 connectivity, and what is claimed as the world’s largest haptic trackpad with stylus support. Although ODMs have showcased Panther Lake designs earlier in 2025, Acer's press conference only announced a 2026 launch for this model. Intel expects to release its first SKU by the end of 2025 and additional SKUs in early 2026, with increased production volumes expected throughout the year.
