Most Panther Lake laptops sold for serious work and/or gamers will have an NV mdGPU in them anyway. There may be some miniPCs (which is a slowly growing segment) that rely on the full Xe3 implementation of Panther Lake for graphics. But if I recall correctly, Panther Lake SoCs will have overall better graphics compared to their Arrow Lake-H and Lunar Lake counterparts at the same launch price points, e.g. everyone who actually uses the iGPU will get better graphics with Panther Lake than they did with either Lunar Lake or Arrow Lake.

Parametric yields on 18A are reportedly not great. Expect a top clockspeed of 5.1 GHz with not much in the way of IPC improvement. It will use less power than Arrow Lake per core. The real story will be the Xe3 iGPU which will be significantly better than Intel's past entries. It still won't challenge Strix Halo, but it also won't cost $1500 just for a bare board. Probably.
