Handheld gaming at just 8W: leak details affordable Intel Arc chip

[Redaktion]

The Steam Deck could soon face exciting competition from devices that consume as little as 8 watts. That's because the latest Intel Panther Lake chip for gaming handhelds is said to have relatively low power consumption despite featuring a modern Xe3 iGPU and eight processor cores.

Meh...

So the Panther Lake 'high end' has a 'b390' iGPU with unknown 'Xe3' GPU cores and
the Panther Lake 'medium end' has a 'b370' iGPU with 10 'Xe3' GPU cores followed by the APU THIS article is about that has an unknown iGPU with a mere FOUR (4) 'Xe3' GPU cores.

At introduction Panther Lake APU's might of been broken into TWO distinct groups, those with 'X' in the name that have GOOD iGPU's (ie: the b390) and those WITHOUT the 'X' in the name that have blah/meh iGPU's.

Please try to HELP decode the scrambled Intel Marketing nonsense rather than make it more confusing. Some Panther Lake APU's are far more interesting than others.
