Intel has refreshed its non-Ultra Core CPU lineup with the introduction of the new Series 3 processors, codenamed Wildcat Lake. This marks a departure from the older Raptor Lake architecture, which had been used in previous generations. The Wildcat Lake processors feature a dual-tile design, comprising a compute tile with up to two Cougar Cove performance cores and four Darkmont efficiency cores, as well as an integrated GPU with Intel's latest Xe3 cores. Additionally, they include a Neural Processing Unit (NPU) capable of performing up to 17 trillion operations per second. The platform controller tile supports advanced features such as Thunderbolt 4, Wi-Fi 7, and Bluetooth 6.0, along with six PCIe 4.0 lanes for external devices. These new chips can support up to 48GB of LPDDR5X-7467 or 64GB of DDR5-6400 memory, with a base power level of 15W and a maximum boost power level of 35W. This upgrade aims to enhance performance across both high-end and midrange laptops.
