"The new chips are codenamed 'Wildcat Lake,' and while there are some commonalities with the Core Ultra Series 3 CPUs, the non-Ultra CPUs use a simpler design with much less computing power."
"Each chip uses two silicon tiles: a compute tile that includes a CPU with up to two Cougar Cove P-cores and four Darkmont E-cores; an integrated GPU with one or two of Intel's latest-generation Xe3 GPU cores."
"A separate platform controller tile built on an unspecified non-Intel process provides up to two Thunderbolt 4 ports, Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6.0 connectivity, and six PCIe 4.0 lanes for external connectivity."
Intel's Core Ultra laptop CPUs have been flagship products, with Series 1, 2, and 3 featuring new designs and manufacturing technology. Non-Ultra Core CPUs lacked interest due to reliance on the older Raptor Lake architecture. The new non-Ultra Core Series 3 processors, known as 'Wildcat Lake', introduce new silicon and a simpler design. Each chip includes a compute tile with a CPU, integrated GPU, and NPU, along with a platform controller tile for connectivity. These chips support high memory capacities and operate at a base power of 15 W, boosting to 35 W.
