"According to IGN and TechCrunch, sources say Intel is going to compete by developing a custom Intel Core G3 "variant or variants" just for handhelds that could outperform the Arc B390 GPU on the chips it just announced. IGN reports that by using the new 18A process, Intel can cut different die slices, and "spec the chips to offer better performance on the GPU where you want it.""
"As for concrete details about the gaming platform, we're going to have to wait. According to Intel's Dan Rogers yesterday, the company will have "more news to share on that from our hardware and software partners later this year." The Intel-based MSI Claw saw a marked improvement when it jumped to Lunar Lake, and hopefully the new platform keeps up that positive trend."
Intel is developing a handheld gaming platform built on Panther Lake chips and plans custom Intel Core G3 variants optimized for handheld use. The custom Core G3 variants could outperform the Arc B390 GPU found on recently announced chips. The 18A process should allow slicing dies and configuring GPU-focused die variants to improve graphics performance. Qualcomm and AMD are also moving toward Windows handhelds, with Qualcomm hinting at Game Developers Conference announcements and AMD offering Strix Halo chips for more powerful devices. Specific platform details and partner hardware and software plans will be shared later this year. The MSI Claw saw improved performance with Lunar Lake, suggesting potential gains.
