Intel launched its Core Series 3 processors, codenamed Wildcat Lake, targeting the budget laptop segment. These processors feature AI capabilities and are built on the Intel 18A manufacturing process. The lineup includes six consumer SKUs and one edge variant, with performance improvements over older PCs. Despite early benchmarks showing lower performance compared to the MacBook Neo, Intel emphasizes AI capabilities and energy efficiency as key advantages. Over 70 laptop designs from various manufacturers are expected to support these new processors.
