Intel launches new Core Series 2 processors, with up to 12 P cores for critical industrial loads at the edge

Intel has presented its new processors Core Series 2which arrive with an architecture of up to 12 P cores and are designed for demanding workloads of industrial environments in order to respond to the critical ‘edge’ challenges with real-time performance improvements and managing demanding concurrent tasks, reliably.

The technology company has unveiled its new processors within the framework of the technology fair Embedded World 2026, where he has indicated that it is a family focused on industrial computing, specifically for “mission critical” edge applications.

That is, Intel Core Series 2, also called Bartlett Lake search address the challenges facing modern industrial operations, demanding processors that can handle multiple workloads simultaneously, including from safety-critical control systemsuntil the real-time data processingas Intel explained in a statement.

Thus, with architectures up to 12 P coresCore Series 2 is made up of the models i9, i7 e i5which in turn have different Thermal Design Power (TDP) configurations that range from 45 W to 125 W. The most advanced model is the Core 9 273PQEwhich integrates 12 P cores and 24 threads, with an ‘all-core’ frequency of up to 5.3 GHz, 36 MB cache and 125 W TDP.

Intel has also stressed that these new chips also solve common industry problems such as, unlike traditional processors, they do not force manufacturers to choose between computational power o real-time reliability, but they offer both capabilities without having to resort to more complex multiprocessor architectures and that costs increase.

This means that they can execute complex workloads simultaneously, without compromising execution times or the final result.

The company has also highlighted its high capacity compared to competitors. For example, Intel has assured that, in comparison with AMD Ryzen 7 9700X processorsthe new Intel Core Series 2 delivers up to 4.4x lower maximum PCIe latencyin addition to offering up to 2.5 times longer deterministic response time and up to 3.8 times better performance. Likewise, it offers Up to 1.5 times higher multi-thread performance.

This new series of processors joins the one presented within the framework of CES 2026, Intel Core Ultra Series 3, with which, as stated by Intel’s corporate vice president and general director of the Edge Computing Group, Dan Rodriguez, the company intends to continue offering “comprehensive platforms” that satisfy “the diverse needs of edge customers.” with cutting-edge built-in artificial intelligence (AI) performance, reliability, and acceleration.”

EDGE AI SUITES TO ACCELERATE AI IN THE HEALTH SECTOR

Along with the new processors, Intel has also presented its AI Suite for Health, focused on patient monitoring through AI.

This suite aims to help professionals manage health systems, which are facing increasing patient volume and staffing limitations. Therefore, it is presented as a solution that takes patient monitoring from isolated devices to intelligent and connected ecosystemsin order to obtain information faster through AI solutions and offer reliable operation in real situations.

With this, the suite allows you to carry out multimodal AI tasks running locally on Intel processorsis the case of detecting arrhythmias in electrocardiograms or anonymous 3D visual tracking. These types of tasks will help perform diagnostics without needing to connect to the cloud.

Intel has noted that Edge systems with Intel Core Ultra Series 3 and Intel Core Series 2 processors with P cores They are now generally available.
