The information comes from Videocardz, which tells us that Intel will present these specific Panther Lake-based processors for portable consoles during the next COMPUTEX. That Intel is going to present these processors is not a surprise, since the manufacturer openly announced it during the last CES 2026 in Las Vegas.

As expected, these Intel Arc G3 Series will come with the latest Intel Arc graphics series. Initially there was talk of the Intel Arc B380 and B360 for these processors, but it seems that the manufacturer will not use new references and they will be launched with the Intel Arc B390 and B370 that we already know. Another key feature is its 25 W base TDPalthough it can be configured and will reach the 65 and 80 W in turbo mode.

In the presentation of this next series at the last CES, logos such as that of Acer, GPD and even Microsoftit is not known if ASUS or Lenovo They will adopt portable gaming hardware with these new Intel processors.

There is also a clear unknown about this next series, the prices from which the consoles will start with these references and the availability. Based on other console launches with Intel processors, this may take a few months after their presentation, perhaps for Gamescom 2026 which will take place at the end of August.
