According to IGN and TechCrunch, sources say that Intel plans to compete by developing a customized “variant or variants” of the Intel Core G3 exclusively for laptops, which could outperform theArc B390 GPU in the processors it just announced. IGN reports that by using the new 18A process, Intel can cut out different core sections and “tailor the processors to deliver better GPU performance where you need it.”
As for specific details about the gaming platform, we'll have to wait and see. According to Intel's Dan Rogers, the company will have "more news to share from our hardware and software partners later this year." The MSI Claw saw significant improvements when it made the jump to Lunar Lake, and we're hoping the new platform continues that positive trend.
