lowyat.net

Intel has reportedly delayed the launch of its Panther Lake CPUs for gaming handhelds until the second quarter of 2026. The delay means handhelds powered by these new Intel chips will not be available until at least April 2026. Rumors suggest the CPUs will be named Core G3 and Core G3 Extreme, featuring advanced integrated graphics. This delay allows competitor AMD to maintain its strong position in the growing gaming handheld market, which has seen renewed interest since the Steam Deck's release.
