Intel Core Ultra 300 “Panther Lake” CPUs appear in HWMonitor update, flagship Core Ultra X9 388H confirmed

CPU-Z devs confirms SKU names of upcoming Panther Lake chips

Looks like rumors were indeed true.

When the Core Ultra 300 SKUs names were first shared more than a week ago, we kept our natural skepticism, given that only one source casually listed them without further details. However, that information partially matched what other sources have been saying. Now it appears that the list is confirmed by developers of CPU‑Z software, their updates are rarely incorrect.

HWMonitor and CPU‑Z are not frequently updated,

Sapphire’s blue-tipped 12V-2×6 power adapter burns

First it was ASRock, now it’s Sapphire.

Only two AMD board partners have adopted the new power connector design so far, ASrock and Sapphire. For ASRock, this was likely a natural decision since the company recently entered the power supply market with native 12V-2×6 implementation. Unforutnately this brand’s GPU was already a victim of said connector design, specifically the Taichi RX 9070XT model

Both models feature Intel Core Ultra

Microsoft has an issue with rumors and its broken image

From full hardware cancellation rumors to claims that retailers are no longer selling their hardware.

It’s interesting to watch this new Xbox rumor drama unfold, especially since we’re used to seeing similar cycles in PC hardware news. Gamers who don’t closely follow such reports often fail to realize that positive and negative rumors spread equally fast. Many share these claims without understanding the real situation, often without ill intent, but trolls and bots tend to fuel them until
