New Intel Core 3 Series laptop processors deliver up to a day of battery life and improved AI performance

Intel has presented the Intel Core Series 3 mobile processors which are built with the Core Ultra 3 series architecture to bring performance, autonomy and support for artificial intelligence to mid-range laptops

Intel Core Series 3, known internally as Wildcat Lake, introduces new Intel processors designed to offer “excellent value for money” in essential mid-range and edge business laptops, aimed at schools, businesses and consumers.

They are based on the architecture Intel Core Ultra Serie 3 (Panther Lake) and have been manufactured with the 2 nanometer 18A processwhich combines a new RibbonFET transistor architecture with a rear-side power delivery system that improves power flow and signal delivery.

As detailed by the company in a statement, the Intel Core Series 3 support workloads with artificial intelligence up to 40 TOPSthey offer a whole day of battery and support for up to two ports Thunderbolt 4, Intel WiFi 7 (R2) e Intel Bluetooth 6.
