Advantech MIO-5356 – An industrial 3.5-inch SBC based on Intel Core Series 3 “Wildcat Lake” SoC

Advantech MIO 5356 SBC

Advantech MIO-5356 is the very first hardware platform based on the upcoming Intel Core Series 3 (Core 300) “Wildcat Lake” SoC we’ve seen. It’s a 3.5-inch SBC designed for industrial applications and powered by up to the Intel Core 7 350 hexa-core processor. The fanless board supports up to 64GB DDR5 memory, NVMe SSD storage, up to three independent displays via USB-C, HDMI, and LVDS interface, 2.5GbE and GbE networking with TSN and OOB management, and WiFi, Bluetooth, and Cellular connectivity via M.2 sockets. It also features audio connectors, six USB interfaces, RS232/RS485 and CAN Bus interfaces, and more. Advantech MIO-5356 specifications: Wildcat Lake SoC (one or the other) Intel Core 3 305 hexa-core CPU with 2x P cores @ 1.5 GHz / 4.4 GHz (Turbo) and 4x LPE cores, 16x EU Intel graphics @ 2.3 GHz; TDP: 15W Intel Core 5 320 hexa-core CPU with 2x P cores @ […]

Entry-level Intel Core 3 304 Wildcat Lake processor details and benchmarks surface

Wildcat Lake processor

Intel discreetly introduced the Wildcat Lake Core Series 3 CPUs at CES 2026 with some high-level specifications, but no part numbers or exact CPU, GPU, and NPU frequencies. Some leaks reveal more details about the Wildcat Lake parts, notably the Intel Core 3 304 penta-core processor, for which we also have some benchmarks. Intel Wildcat Lake SKUs The data below comes from a post by Jaykihn on X. While we have six SKUs in the table above, the Intel Core 5 320/330 and Core 7 350/360 only differ in terms of SIPP (Intel Stable IT Platform Program) support. SIPP is an enterprise initiative that ensures that key platform components, such as processors, chipsets, graphics, storage, networking, and wireless, remain consistent with minimal or no changes for a guaranteed period. The GPU turbo clocks are much higher than in Alder Lake-N/Twin Lake chips (typically 1 GHz to 1.35 GHz), and LPDDR5x […]

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

Wildcat Lake processor

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 […]
