Intel Core Ultra Series 3 chips launched in Vietnam: Breakthrough 27-hour battery life and AI performance.
Intel officially introduced the Core Ultra Series 3 (Panther Lake) processor in Vietnam, featuring the 18A process, delivering a record-breaking 27-hour battery life and AI performance reaching 50 TOPS.
On March 17, 2026, Intel officially launched its Core Ultra Series 3 processors in Vietnam. This is the next strategic step in the AI PC (AI PC) race, promising fundamental changes in processing performance and energy efficiency on mobile devices.
The era of Intel's 18A process and impressive battery life.
The new processor line, codenamed Panther Lake, is built on the all-new Intel 18A manufacturing process. This architecture is deeply optimized to achieve the optimal balance between computing power and power management. Intel claims that devices equipped with Core Ultra Series 3 can achieve up to 27 hours of battery life, setting a new standard for the thin and light Windows laptop segment.
50 TOPS AI processing power and Xe3 graphics.
Besides battery life, AI processing capabilities are a key highlight of this generation. The integrated Neural Processing Unit (NPU) has reached 50 TOPS, enabling complex AI tasks to be performed directly on the device hardware without relying on cloud connectivity. This not only increases processing speed but also enhances data security for users.
To meet the demands of graphics and creative work, Intel has integrated the next-generation Xe3 graphics architecture. This upgrade helps address the challenge of gaming performance and professional image processing on ultra-portable devices that typically have limited cooling space.
