Intel has introduced the Arc G3 Extreme, a system-on-chip designed specifically for handheld gaming devices. The chip integrates CPU and GPU cores into a single package to fit compact form factors.
New chip integrates CPU and GPU cores into a single package to fit compact form factors.
The Arc G3 Extreme features two performance cores that have been physically cut down in size. Intel also reduced the Thunderbolt and display engines to save space and power within handheld consoles.
A key feature is Intelligent Bias Control, which shuts off performance cores at lower power levels. This allows games to run exclusively on efficiency cores for improved battery life and consistent frame rates.
Intel demonstrated 60+ fps in Forza Horizon 6 and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 at native 1920×1200 resolution without upscaling. Intel states that its new chip delivers a 42 percent improvement in speed compared to the AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme, according to its own tests.
