No? The HX series is not getting an update with Panther Lake and is a totally different product, so you couldn't be more wrong.

HX series are desktop chips repackaged for the mobile market, with the most cores available on a mobile CPU. For example, the Arrow Lake HX series has a total 20 cores, eight big P cores in total. Notably, it also has a very weak iGPU, since it is almost always paired with a dGPU.

Panther Lake H with 12 Xe cores (rumored to be Core Ultra X7 / X9) is a product for laptops without a dGPU.

It should be explained that only three of the processors that will be released will perform at their best, and prices are expected to be around €2,000, and they will practically be very limited.

Core Ultra X9 388H, 4+8+4 (16), 12 Xe frequency, 5.1, Top-of-the-range X
Core Ultra X7 368H, 4+8+4 (16), 12 Xe frequency, 12.5.0 High-end X
Core Ultra X7 358H, 4+8+4 (16), 12 Xe TBC unknown High-end X

The rest of the chips will only have 4 CELESTIAL chips, so they will perform just fine.
Core Ultra X5 338H,4+4+4 (12), 10Xe,TBC,Mid-range
Core Ultra 9 375H,4+8+4 (16), 4Xe,TBC,No X (base iGPU)
Core Ultra 7 355H,4+8+4 (16), 4Xe,TBC,Without X
Core Ultra 7 345H,4+8+4 (16 4Xe,TBC,Without X
Core Ultra 5 325H,4+4+4 (12) 4Xe,TBC,H Input
U series,,,,
Core Ultra 7 360U,4+0+4 (8),4Xe,TBC,High efficiency
Core Ultra 5 350U,4+0+4 (8),4Xe,TBC,Mid-range U
Core Ultra 5 340U,4+0+4 (8),4Xe,TBC,U low range
Core Ultra 3 320U,2+0+4 (6),4Xe,TBC,U Input
