Intel launches new Core Series 3 chips for mainstream laptops

Intel has unveiled its new Core Series 3 chips, the official title for its Wildcat Lake-codenamed series intended for mainstream and value-oriented laptops. Built using the same Intel 18A process as its Core Ultra Series 3 chips, they’re significantly powerful than the previous generation and promise "exceptional battery life" and "boosted AI-ready performance." Intel says the Core Series 3 offers up to 47% better single-thread performance and 41% better multi-thread performance, as well as 2.8x better GPU AI performance compared to a five-year-old PC.
