"We're just hours away from the start of CES 2026, and with that comes Intel's launch event. The chip giant is expected to provide more details on its AI PC initiative and the new processors powering it: The Core Ultra Series 3 CPUs (aka Panther Lake) are made using an 18A process - that's 18 angstroms, or just under 2nm - and designed for high-end laptops and gaming devices."
"For Intel, the stakes at CES are higher than ever. In the past 12 months, both NVIDIA and the US government acquired ownership stakes in the company, helping nearly double the stock price by the end of the year. But that's still down over more than 20 percent since 2021, as rivals like TSMC, Qualcomm, AMD and NVIDIA have taken the leadership mantle in chip fabrication and AI hardware."
Intel will unveil the Core Ultra Series 3 processors (Panther Lake) during CES week; the chips use an 18A process (about 2nm) and target high-end laptops and gaming devices. The company will highlight AI PC initiatives and edge solutions, with a launch event on Monday, January 5 at 6PM ET livestreamed on the Intel Newsroom YouTube channel. NVIDIA and the US government acquired stakes in Intel over the past year, boosting the stock, yet Intel remains down versus 2021 amid rivals' leadership in fabrication and AI hardware. Reported sub-50 percent yields have raised profitability concerns; Intel says its trajectory on Panther Lake is positive despite missing a late 2025 target.
