We're on the ground at Intel's CES 2026 keynote event in Las Vegas, Nevada. Jim Johnson, Intel’s Senior VP and GM of the Client Computing Division, is set to take the stage to give us the rundown on all things related to the latest Core Ultra Series 3 processors. You'll see those updates below as the event begins.

Intel’s Core Ultra Series 3, part of the Panther Lake family, is the company’s first client processor with a compute tile built on the new 18A node. Compared with the Lunar Lake family, the new Panther Lake processors are expected to deliver a 50 percent performance uplift while maintaining a similar power profile.

Panther Lake aims to combine the best of Lunar Lake (power efficiency) and Arrow Lake (performance scaling) into a unified package for P-cores (Cougar Cove), E-Cores (Darkmont), and the iGPU (Xe3).
