The Intel Arc G-Series processors are designed for next-generation handheld gaming systems, combining high performance and power efficiency with smooth, immersive gameplay and great battery life.
Launching with Intel Arc G3 and Intel Arc G3 Extreme processors running on Windows 11, the series builds on the architecture of Intel Core Ultra Series 3 (code-name Panther Lake) to bring optimized performance and power efficiency to portable play.
Designed for handheld with optimized core counts, power management, and software, Arc G3 processors deliver improved performance and efficiency for smooth, immersive gameplay and better battery life, says Intel. Handheld designs from leading partners will launch in the coming months, beginning with Acer’s Predator Atlas 8, MSI Claw 8 EX AI+, and OneXPlayer.
Intel Arc G-Series processors are purpose-built for handheld gaming, developed in close collaboration with hardware partners and software developers to deliver broad compatibility.
Featuring up to Intel Arc B390 graphics built on Intel’s latest Xe3 architecture, Intel Arc G-Series processors enable advanced technologies like real-time ray tracing for high-fidelity visuals and XeSS 3 for higher performance, smoother gameplay, and improved responsiveness. Ongoing Day-0 driver support ensures new releases and existing libraries perform their best from day one.
You can enjoy immersive gaming with Xbox mode, a controller-optimized, console-inspired, full-screen experience for Windows 11 PCs, which unifies your library of installed games. Get faster game launches with Intel Precompiled Shaders, which downloads prebuilt shader files from the Intel cloud for select titles.
It comes with two P-Cores, eight E-Cores, and four LP E-Cores manufactured on the Intel 18A process node technology, a logic node developed and manufactured in the U.S.
Advanced connectivity includes integrated Intel Wi-Fi 7 R2, dual Bluetooth 6, and Intel Thunderbolt 4 with support for Thunderbolt Share, giving you up to 40 Gbps bandwidth for high-speed storage, peripherals, and rapid transfer of large game libraries.
XeSS 3 enhances gaming with three key graphics technologies: XeSS Super Resolution, XeSS Multi-Frame Generation, and Xe Low Latency. XeSS Super Resolution provides AI-based upscaling to deliver higher performance. XeSS Multi-Frame Generation adds multiple interpolated frames for a smoother gameplay experience. Xe Low Latency integrates with game engines to provide faster response to gamers’ inputs, unlocking more responsive gaming.
Intel and its OEM partners will share more details on Intel Arc G3 processors at Computex 2026. Handheld systems powered by Intel Arc G-Series processors will begin rolling out from OEM partners starting June 2026, with broader availability throughout the year.
