The chiplet-based approach allows Intel to mix-and-match these tiles to offer three distinct iterations of Panther Lake: the 16-core CPU and the 12-core GPU, the 16-core CPU and the 4-core GPU, and the 8-core CPU and the 4-core GPU. Versions of these chips with some CPU and GPU cores switched off fill out the rest of the Core Ultra Series 3 lineup.

Intel launched the Core Ultra Series 3 lineup of laptop processors here at CES 2026. But Intel has added a Core X9. Why?

Much of the non-graphics aspects of Panther Lake include a lot of optimizations over previous generations, plus a move to Intel's smaller (2nm) 18A process node, which should result in the relevant chips being better overall, drawing notably less power. The first systems incorporating the 3 Series processors begin shipping immediately.

Acer unveils refreshed Swift and Aspire AI laptops at CES 2026, featuring Intel Core Ultra processors, programmable hotkey, and more.

AMD’s sales data show that it sold more AM4 CPUs than all Intel processors combined last week. Indeed, we are talking about AMD Ryzen 5000 chips, Intel’s 13th and 14th Gen Core processors, and the new Core Ultra models using the Arrow Lake architecture.

Just six years after its founding, Intel created a milestone in the history of computing. Instead of making chips for very specific purposes, it designed a processor that could be used in any scenario. Launched as the Intel 8080, it would go on to be ...

Anyone who speculates on likely events ahead of time and prepares accordingly can react quicker to new developments. What practically every person does every day, consciously or unconsciously, is also used by modern computer processors to speed up the ...
