Intel will introduce the Intel Core 300 series of processing chips for their laptops during the CES 2026 event that will take place in January 2026. Various laptop manufacturers are also expected to show off their latest laptop offerings at the event.
Recently, a Dell Pro Precision 7 laptop powered by an Intel Panther Lake processor, Intel Core Ultra 7 366H, was tested, and it was seen to come with an Intel Xe3 graphics processing chip.
The GeekBench benchmark score was shown, with the graphics score of this laptop coming in at 22813, which is a performance that is seen to be about the same as the AMD Radeon 840M graphics chip and the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050Ti graphics card.
This score puts the Intel Xe3 chip on par with the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050Ti graphics chip for laptops, but still falls short of AMD's most powerful built-in graphics chip offering, the AMD Radeon 860M.
The details of the Intel Xe3 chip are also not yet fully known, but for this configuration it appears to come with four physical cores. As for the Intel Core Utra 7 366H processor chip, it comes with four Performance cores, 8 Efficiency cores and 4 Low Power Efficiency cores and comes with a base speed of 2.0GHz and a maximum speed of 4.8GHz.
This CPU configuration shows that this processor chip is expected to come for general-purpose laptops, and is likely not for premium thin and light devices or specifically for gaming.
It is expected that the full specifications of these CPUs will be revealed during the launch event at CES 2026.
