On Tuesday, TechCrunch reported that Intel was developing a chip specifically designed to power handheld gaming devices. The new chips are expected to help Intel take share in a mobile gaming chip market that could exceed $45 billion by 2030, according to MarketResearch.com.

Intel has quietly expanded its processor lineup with the introduction of Wildcat Lake, a third-generation Core processor family that arrived alongside the company’s CES 2026 announcements.

Intel's new Core Ultra Series 3 'Panther Lake' CPUs are the first AI PC processors built on the new Intel 18A process, and made in the USA.

Intel used the CES 2026 stage to unveil its Panther Lake AI laptop chips built on the 18A process, with CEO Lip-Bu Tan saying the company "over-delivered" on its promise to ship the first 18A products by the end of 2025 as it ramps production and seeks to regain manufacturing credibility amid intensifying competition.
