Title: The slim Asus Zenbook S14 shows the big issues of Intel's Panther Lake processors
Post by: Redaktion on July 22, 2026, 00:46:21
The Asus Zenbook S14 2026 is equipped with a modern Panther Lake processor from Intel. This results in more CPU performance as well as improved efficiency, but the lower GPU performance also illustrates the big issue of the current CPU generation, and it will not be an improvement for all users.

Intel's line-up for Panther Lake is mronic in the extreme. If you don't want a discrete GPU, the non B390 iGPU's are utter trash. I had to shop for months to find an affordable laptop with the 358H SKU as nearly all laptops were using the trash tier 355 or even worse 322. It is still impossible to find the 338H in a laptop in Australia.

If AMD's apu's weren't so far behind Panther Lake on baterry life it would have made my life a lot easier.
