The Intel® Core™ Ultra Series 3 is based on an advanced hybrid architecture featuring Performance cores (P-cores), Efficiency cores (E-cores) and Low-Power Efficiency cores (LP-E cores). With up to 16 cores, the processors deliver a balanced combination of high computing performance and optimized energy efficiency – a key requirement for mobile systems and compact platforms.
Within the series, Intel clearly differentiates between distinct target segments:
The Intel® Core™ Ultra 5 / 7 / 9 processors are designed for high-performance consumer and business notebooks as well as mainstream AI PCs. They offer strong single- and multicore performance, integrated AI capabilities and – depending on the SKU – an Intel® Arc™ GPU for graphics-intensive applications and content creation.
Complementing these, the Intel® Core™ Ultra X7 and X9 processors are equipped with the highest performing Intel® Arc™ graphics. The top SKUs feature up to 16 CPU cores, 12 Xe-cores and 50 NPU Tops, aimed at multitaskers that handle advanced workloads like gaming, creation and productivity on the go.
A key feature of the Series 3 is its integrated AI acceleration. In addition to CPU and GPU resources, the processors include a dedicated Intel® NPU (Neural Processing Unit) that processes AI workloads locally and with high energy efficiency. This enables modern AI PC and edge applications, including image and speech processing, local inference models and intelligent automation functions.
