Intel has announced the Arc G Series of processors for handheld gaming PCs, with two models (Arc G3 Extreme and Arc G3) based on the Panther Lake architecture, and partners including MSI, Acer, and OneXPlayer planning devices for release starting in June 2026.
Intel entered the handheld gaming PC market in late May 2026 with the announcement of the Arc G Series, a family of processors designed specifically for portable gaming devices. The series includes two models: the Arc G3 Extreme and the Arc G3. Both chips are built on the Panther Lake architecture using an Intel 18A process and feature up to 14 cores, with integrated Arc B390 or Arc B370 graphics that support XeSS 3 multi-frame generation, ray tracing, and AI upscaling. The configurable TDP can go as low as 8W, positioning the chips to compete directly with AMD's Ryzen Z series, which has dominated the handheld segment since the Steam Deck's launch.
Intel confirmed that the Arc G3 Extreme features 2 P-cores, 8 E-cores, and 4 LPE cores, while the Arc G3 uses the same core configuration. Both GPUs support multi-frame generation via XeSS 3, AI upscaling, and latency reduction. Additional features include an Xbox mode for Windows 11, Intel Precompiled Shaders for faster game loading, Thunderbolt 4, Wi-Fi 7 R2, and dual Bluetooth 6. Intel plans to share further details at Computex 2026 starting June 2.
Multiple hardware partners announced devices within months of the chip's reveal. Acer introduced the Predator Atlas 8, a portable gaming PC with an 8-inch 120Hz touchscreen, Predator AeroBlade cooling, and up to 24GB RAM, scheduled for release in October 2026. MSI, OneXPlayer, and One-Netbook also plan models. Handheld gaming PCs with the new processors are expected to start shipping in June 2026.
