Summary
Intel has introduced new non-Ultra Core laptop processors called "Wildcat Lake," which use new silicon rather than relying on older designs. These chips have simpler designs compared to Intel’s higher-end Core Ultra Series 3 processors but bring improvements in battery life and modern connectivity features.
Key Facts
- The new chips are named "Wildcat Lake" and belong to Intel’s Core Series 3 lineup for laptops.
- They include up to two performance cores and four efficiency cores in the CPU design.
- Each processor has an integrated GPU with one or two of Intel’s latest Xe3 cores.
- An NPU (Neural Processing Unit) is included but supports up to 17 trillion operations per second, lower than some high-end AI requirements.
- These chips support modern connections like Thunderbolt 4, Wi-Fi 7, and Bluetooth 6.0.
- They can use up to 48GB of LPDDR5X or 64GB of DDR5 memory.
- The processors run on a 15 W base power with a boost of up to 35 W.
- Intel claims improved battery life on these chips compared to previous generations, with over 12 hours of office work and up to 18 hours of video streaming on a 59 WHr battery.
