At Computex 2026 in Taipei, Taiwan, Intel unveiled six new thin and light laptop designs powered by Intel® Core™ Series 3 family of processors (previously codenamed Wildcat Lake).
More than 70 design wins are coming to market soon, including sleek systems from top PC OEMs like Acer, ASUS, Dell, MSI and more.
Laptops powered by these new CPUs will offer as much as 17 hours of battery life while streaming 4K YouTube video versus previous generation Intel® Core™ 7 150U systems.
"With the all-new Series 3 processor family, you get the latest connectivity features including Thunderbolt 4, WiFi 7 and Bluetooth 6 technologies, along with an extremely capable NPU, GPU for everyday users,"

Acer is among global PC OEMs launching new designs based on the Core Series 3 CPU family. The Acer Swift Air 14 features an ultra-slim all-aluminum chassis and a 14" WUXGA display. Its fast charging capability will restore up to half the battery life in under 30 minutes.
"We are so excited to collaborate with Intel on these all-new Core Series 3 laptops. It delivers everyday performance and also up to 19 hours of all-day battery life for everyday use," shared Gary Chuang, associate marketing manager, Acer.
