At CES 2026, Intel unveiled its Core Ultra 3 series processors, codenamed Panther Lake. Utilizing 18A process technology, this processor lineup has earned the moniker of the "x86 Battery Life Champion," boasting an impressive 27 - hour battery life. Additionally, it brings about a substantial boost in integrated graphics performance.
However, AMD takes a rather dismissive stance, asserting that there's no need to sound the alarm over this processor. The company subtly points out that the pricing of Intel's Panther Lake is relatively on the high side.
Intel has announced that the Panther Lake processors will initially make their way into mobile devices like laptops, with a gradual rollout planned for the desktop and edge - computing markets.
