AMD might personal the hand-held PC gaming market, however Intel has plans to steal it again with its Core Extremely Collection 3 chip, or Panther Lake. Intel plans to launch a model of Panther Lake later this 12 months particularly for handhelds, executives informed PCWorld.com.<\/p>\n
AMD\u2019s processors with built-in graphics energy the overwhelming majority of handheld PCs, a distinct segment market that has shortly grown as players sought cheaper gaming options that they might additionally tackle the go.<\/p>\n
Intel\u2019s earlier processors have proven up in handheld gaming PCs earlier than; in 2024, Intel\u2019s Core Extremely Collection 2 (Lunar Lake) was revealed in a handheld earlier than Computex. However Intel\u2019s chip did not make a dent.<\/p>\n
Partially, that was as a result of the hand-held gaming market was in its infancy, Nish Neelalojanan, senior director of product administration for consumer for Intel,\u00a0informed me in an interview at CES 2026. As we speak, a few of the groundwork has been laid, similar to Microsoft enabling a unified full-screen interface for the gaming market.<\/p>\n
However as we speak\u2019s Panther Lake chips have a bonus, Neelalojanan stated: a return to the low-power E-cores that initially debuted in Intel\u2019s first-generation Core Extremely chips and have been handed over within the second-generation Lunar Lake. \u201cWe expect that the low energy E-cores are significantly acceptable for gaming,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n
AMD has loved success in handhelds as a result of it has persistently powered sport consoles, whose systems-on-a-chip are comparable in idea to the SOCs inside handhelds. The ROG Xbox Ally and Lenovo Legion Go each use AMD processors, particularly the Z1 and Z2 chips. <\/p>\n
However Neelalojanan additionally had some blunt phrases concerning AMD within the handheld gaming market: \u201cThey\u2019re promoting historical silicon, whereas we\u2019re promoting up-to-date processors particularly designed for this market.\u201d Or shall be promoting, anyway.<\/p>\n
With the launch of the Core Extremely Collection 3 chip, Intel just lately sanitized its record of processors, eliminating most of the single-letter suffixes that have been a staple of its product listings. Somewhat than merely take an current Panther Lake chip and provides it to handheld clients, Neelalojanan stated that there shall be a customized by-product optimized for the market.<\/p>\n
Will there be a brand new Intrel handheld model, although, or a brand new household of processors? \u201cYou\u2019ll have to attend and see,\u201d Neelalojanan stated.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
