Rising component costs may have slowed the market for handheld gaming PCs (or gaming PCs in general), but that\u2019s not stopping Intel from delivering on its promise. Just as the company stated last year it would, and then reiterated at CES 2026, it\u2019s now launching a new lineup of mobile processors specifically for Windows 11-based gaming handhelds. Ahead of Computex 2026, Intel has announced the new Intel Arc G3 and Arc G3 Extreme processors that take on AMD\u2019s Ryzen Z-series.<\/p>\n

The new Arc G3 series is based on Intel\u2019s Panther Lake, the codename for the Core Ultra 300 series, built on the company\u2019s 18A fabrication node. However, Intel says these are specifically designed for handhelds, in \u201cclose collaboration with hardware manufacturers,\u201d to ensure gaming performance comparable to that of gaming PCs.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

The Arc G3 and Arc G3 Extreme come with a 14-core CPU design, with two P (performance), eight E (efficiency), and four LP E (low-power efficiency) cores. While the G3 offers a peak frequency of 4.6GHz, the Extreme goes a bit higher at 4.7GHz. Both chips also support up to 96GB of LPDDR5X memory for the handful of lucky folks who can afford that without selling their parents\u2019 house.<\/p>\n

Adding to the visual performance is the iGPU based on Intel\u2019s Intel Xe3 architecture (marketed as Arc B390 graphics). The GPU also supports XeSS, Intel\u2019s name for AI-based graphics upscaling.<\/p>\n

For connectivity, the Arc G3 gets Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6. Additionally, the chips support Thunderbolt 4, which should allow users to connect eGPUs for even better performance when devices are docked.<\/p>\n

Among the first\u00a0to use Intel\u2019s Arc G3 chips is Acer, which is announcing the\u00a0Predator Atlas 8 handheld, with two variants featuring\u00a0both chips.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

This won\u2019t be the first time Intel chips would be deployed inside handheld PCs. We\u2019ve seen the MSI Claw 8 AI+ and Claw 7 AI+ handhelds featuring Core Ultra 7 with older Lunar Lake architecture. Along with Acer, MSI is also expanding its lineup with the Claw 8 EX, which packs the new Arc G3 chips. ONEXPLAYER 3 also joins the league. These devices are expected to hit shelves no earlier than June 2026.<\/p>\n
