Intel Unveils Arc G3 Chip for Handheld Gaming

Intel has officially announced its first handheld gaming chip, the Arc G3 and Arc G3 Extreme, marking a significant entry into the portable gaming PC market. While details about the chip are limited, Intel confirms that it will boast two fewer CPU cores compared to its Panther Lake laptop chips but feature an enhanced Xe3 GPU with up to 12 graphics cores for improved gaming performance. The chip is designed to power Acer’s latest handheld gaming device, which will likely be one of the first products to utilize Intel’s new Arc G3 technology when it launches later this year.
