Intel has officially announced the availability of laptops powered by the new Intel® Core™ Ultra Series 3 processors in the Philippines, bringing the next generation of AI-powered computing to Filipino consumers and businesses.

Designed to deliver breakthrough performance, next-generation graphics, and improved energy efficiency, these new AI PCs are built to support the growing demand for intelligent computing across work, education, content creation, and gaming.

Originally unveiled earlier this year at CES 2026, Intel Core Ultra Series 3 processors represent the latest advancement in Intel’s client computing roadmap, pushing AI acceleration and high-performance computing into modern laptops.

Starting today, laptops powered by Intel Core Ultra Series 3 processors are now available from major global PC brands including ASUS, Acer, Dell, HP, Lenovo, and MSI through leading retailers across the Philippines.

Built for the Next Generation of AI PCs

Powered by Intel’s latest Intel 18A process, Intel Core Ultra Series 3 introduces a new architecture designed to optimize performance, graphics, and AI workloads.

The processors integrate three major computing engines into one platform:

  • CPU for powerful everyday performance
  • GPU for advanced graphics and visual computing
  • Neural Processing Unit (NPU) for on-device AI acceleration

This combination enables new AI-driven experiences such as intelligent productivity tools, advanced content creation workflows, and AI-assisted collaboration for both professionals and everyday users.

Key Performance Highlights

Outstanding Efficiency

Intel Core Ultra Series 3 is engineered to deliver some of the best battery life among Intel-powered AI PCs, helping users stay productive longer without sacrificing performance.

Advanced AI Performance

Its integrated NPU delivers up to 50 TOPS (trillions of operations per second) of AI compute, enabling faster and more efficient on-device AI workloads without relying heavily on cloud processing.

Next-Generation Graphics

The new Xe3 integrated graphics architecture offers improved gaming performance and richer visual experiences, making these laptops ideal for creators, professionals, and gamers alike.

Together, these features create a new class of thin-and-light AI PCs capable of handling demanding tasks while maintaining exceptional mobility and responsiveness.

Expanding the AI PC Ecosystem

Globally, more than 200 laptop designs will feature Intel Core Ultra Series 3 processors across premium consumer laptops, gaming devices, and commercial systems.

In the Philippines, customers can expect a broad lineup of devices—from ultra-portable productivity laptops to high-performance creator machines and gaming systems—throughout 2026.

“The introduction of Intel Core Ultra Series 3 systems in the Philippines is an important milestone as AI becomes more relevant to how people learn, work, create, and do business,” said George Chacko, GM Sales Group Southeast Asia, Australia and New Zealand, Intel Corporation.

“With strong performance, advanced AI acceleration, and improved power efficiency, these devices are designed to deliver practical benefits for Filipino users—from professionals and students to creators and enterprises. Together with our OEM partners, we are expanding access to a new generation of AI PCs that can help unlock productivity, creativity, and growth across the country.”

AI-Ready Computing for More Users

Alongside its premium AI PC lineup, Intel has also introduced the new Intel® Core™ Series 3 processors, designed to bring AI-ready computing to more affordable price points.

This move expands access to modern computing for students, families, small businesses, and value-conscious consumers.

Built on the same Intel 18A process foundation as Core Ultra Series 3, Intel Core Series 3 processors deliver:

  • Up to 47% better single-thread performance
  • Up to 41% better multi-thread performance
  • Up to 2.8x improved GPU AI performance

compared to a typical five-year-old PC.

This makes the platform a meaningful upgrade for everyday users seeking better speed, longer battery life, and AI-capable performance.

Modern Connectivity and Future-Ready Features

Intel Core Series 3 also supports the latest connectivity standards including:

  • Thunderbolt™ 4
  • Wi-Fi 7
  • Bluetooth® 6

It also delivers up to 40 platform TOPS, enabling support for a wide range of AI-powered applications and edge computing use cases.

More than 70 laptop designs powered by Intel Core Series 3 are expected to launch globally in the coming months, further broadening access to next-generation computing experiences.

With both premium and accessible AI-ready systems now entering the Philippine market, Intel continues to accelerate the future of intelligent computing for Filipino users across every segment.
