Intel unveiled Arc G-Series chips at Computex, built on its existing Core Ultra 3 lineup. Arc G3 and G3 Extreme include up to Intel Arc B390 GPUs, enabling real-time ray tracing and AI upscaling through XeSS 3. The chips are expected to appear in devices in coming months, including Acer Predator Atlas 8, MSI Claw 8 EX AI+, and OneXPlayer. Technical details indicate two performance cores, eight efficiency cores, and four low-power efficiency cores, using Intel’s 18A process. Connectivity support includes Wi‑Fi 7 R2, Thunderbolt 4, and dual Bluetooth 6. Intel also targets Windows 11 full-screen Xbox mode and faster launches for select games using Intel Precompiled Shaders delivered from the cloud.
"Intel unveiled its new Arc G-Series chips, a family of hardware built on its existing Core Ultra 3 lineup. The Arc G3 and G3 Extreme chips will feature up to Intel's Arc B390 GPUs, giving them the real-time ray tracing and AI upscaling capabilities fro the company's XeSS 3 technology. Intel says the chips will appear in devices in the coming months, including the Acer Predator Atlas 8, MSI Claw 8 EX AI+, and OneXPlayer."
"The company hasn't spilled many technical details on the Arc G-Series chips just yet, but broadly, they'll feature two performance cores, eight efficiency cores and four low-power efficiency cores. Since these are essentially modified versions of Core Ultra 3 chips, they'll also be built on Intel's new 18A process. You can expect to see support for Wi-Fi 7 R2, Thunderbolt 4 and dual Bluetooth 6 connectivity."
"Intel says the chips will be optimized for Windows 11's full-screen Xbox mode. That means you should hopefully spend less time dealing with the standard Windows interface, which is notoriously clunky on handhelds. The company also says "select" games will launch faster using Intel Precompiled Shaders, which delivers optimized shaders from the cloud, instead of rendering them on your device."
"Supported games currently include Black Myth: Wukong, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and 7, as well as The Outer Worlds 2."
