6-core Intel Wildcat Lake Core Series 3 CPUs to succeed Alder Lake-N and Twin Lake families

When I wrote the Year 2025 in review post, I expected an announcement for the Wildcat Lake CPUs at CES 2026, but instead, Intel initially introduced the high-end Core Ultra Series 3 “Panther Lake” family. I assumed the Wildcat Lake announcement was postponed, but some users’ reports on X indicate the company did demonstrate the new Core Series 3 (no “Ultra” there) “Wildcat Lake” processors as lower-end Core Series 3 “Panther Lake” SKUs. Intel has yet to disclose part names, and there’s nothing about the Wildcat Lake on Intel Ark at the time of writing. However, some information was shared through slides and X users. Intel Core Series 3 “Wildcat Lake” key features and specifications: CPU – Hexa-core processor with 2x Cougar Cover P-cores (Performance cores), 4x Darkmont LPE-cores (Low-Power Efficient cores) GPU – 2x Xe-core Intel Xe3 graphics (no ray tracing, not designed for gaming) AI accelerator – Intel […]

Intel Core Ultra Series 3 Panther Lake-H CPU powers TGS-2000 series stackable Edge AI computers

Vecow TGS 2000 Series Panther Lake Edge AI computers

At CES 2026, Intel unveiled the Core Ultra Series 3 processors, codenamed Panther Lake-H, built on the Intel 18A (1.8-nanometer class) process, and targeting both consumer and industrial applications. Vecow introduced one of the first industrial Panther Lake-H platforms with the TGS-2000 series, a new family of ultra-compact, stackable Edge AI computers designed for high-performance space-constrained applications and based on either the 16-core Intel Core Ultra 9 386H or 12-core Intel Core Ultra 5 336H SoC. This new 2000 series is an upgrade of the previous TGS-1000 series, which was launched in 2024 with Intel Meteor Lake processors. While the overall design stays mostly the same, the transition to Core Ultra Series 3 enhances AI performance, reaching up to 100 TOPS combined performance with the selected SKUs (note: the top-end Panther Lake-H CPU can deliver up to 180 TOPS). The TGS-2000 Series is available in three variants, including the fanless […]

Year 2025 in Review, CNX Software stats, and looking ahead to 2026

Time for the last post of 2025, as the year is almost over. I’ll look back at key developments and notable products launched in 2025, share some CNX Software website traffic statistics, and look ahead to 2026. Year 2025 in Review After 22 product releases in 2024, Raspberry Pi calmed down a little bit in 2025, and the highlights of the year included the Raspberry Pi 500+ mechanical keyboard, the 5-inch variant of the Raspberry Pi Touch Display 2, and a Raspberry Pi 5 1GB RAM. What didn’t quite stop were the accessories from third parties for Raspberry Pi SBC and Raspberry Pi Pico boards. The most exciting Arm SoC release of 2025 was probably the 12-core CIX P1 Armv9 SoC found in Radxa Orion O6 SBC, MINISFORUM MS-R1 Arm mini PC, and Orange Pi 6 Plus board, but while performance was fine, it was overhyped in 2024, and software […]
