Intel launches Intel Core Ultra Series 3 CPUs for businesses and new GPUs.

After launching the processors Panther Lake (Intel Core Ultra Series 3) in October 2026, the Intel The company launched the corporate version for businesses seeking high performance without needing more robust machines, while still prioritizing security. The company also provided details about its new series of video cards. intel arcThis feature delivers optimized performance for AI workloads with multiple users and agents. See all the details:

Intel Core Ultra Series 3 with Intel vPro

Following the announcements in October 2025 and the initial launch in January 2026, the Intel presented the new processors Intel Core Ultra Series 3, of the generation Panther LakeCompared to computers from four years ago — the average time it takes for companies to upgrade their machines, according to... Intel —, the new line delivers:

• Single-core performance and multithreaded Up to 30% faster;
• Productivity up to 30% higher;
• Graphics up to 80% better;
• AI performance up to 4 times greater.

The new processor utilizes the 18A architecture, developed specifically for this generation. In addition to enabling the aforementioned advancements, it was designed with technologies aimed at reducing energy loss between operations. In terms of energy efficiency, the Panther Lake CPU is as high as... 10% to 40% more economical in single thread (compared to the Lunar Lake and Arrow Lake generations), which guarantees additional hours of autonomy away from the power outlet.

With a focus on flexibility and scalability, the Panther Lake architecture abandoned the integrated memory package present in Lunar Lake, which limited the... Setups up to a maximum of 32 GB of RAM.

With this, Intel decided to give manufacturers greater freedom of choice, offering support for significantly larger memory capacities and at different speeds: Up to 96 GB of LPDDR5 RAM at 9600 MT/s ou Up to 128 GB of DDR5 RAM at 7200 MT/s.r greater freedom of choice for manufacturers, with support for significantly larger memory capacities and different speeds, such as up to 96GB of LPDDR5 RAM up to 9600 MT/s, or up to 128GB of DDR5 RAM at up to 7200 MT/s.

New features of the Intel vPro label.

Stamp Intel vPro It is the industry standard for modern business PCs, which is... Intel It focuses on providing a solid foundation with integrated factory security, management, and reliability.

With the arrival of the new processors Intel Core Ultra Series 3 For businesses, Intel is introducing a series of enhanced capabilities to optimize corporate fleets, focusing on AI-driven efficiency and simplified cloud management. Here are the key new features based on the latest information:

• Intel vPro Security Enhancements: Enhances data protection with the addition of Intel Total Storage Encryption for Microsoft BitLocker and enhanced AI-powered threat detection through Intel Threat Detection Technology (DTECT), which is the only silicon-based solution capable of detecting the most advanced malware threats in real time.
• Intel vPro Certification Program: This new program enhances the performance of applications and accessories through deep collaboration with ISVs and the ecosystem. The goal is to reduce CPU utilization, improve energy efficiency, and minimize background activity. Initial results are impressive, showing a reduction of up to 59% CPU usagean improvement of 56% in energy efficiency and a reduction of 74% in occupied background activity.
• Intel vPro intelligence with Device IQ: It introduces AI-powered analytics to proactively detect, diagnose, and resolve device issues. This aims to reduce downtime and the burden on IT staff support. Integration with Digital Experience Platforms (DEX) is planned for the second half of 2026.
• Intel vPro Fleet Services: Dramatically simplifies out-of-band management and disaster recovery through a fully managed, turnkey, SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) activation. For the first time, this solution is natively and deeply integrated with Microsoft Intune, allowing IT teams to quickly and intuitively activate vPro management capabilities directly from the Intune admin center, eliminating the need for additional infrastructure. Adoption has been rapid, with over 1.300 global commercial customers activating the service in the last quarter.

Intel Arc Pro B-Series GPUs (B65 & B70)

A Intel expanded its line of professional video cards with two new robust models, the Intel Arc Pro B65 and Intel Arc Pro B70, aimed at developers, designers, and content creators who work with high-end workstations.

These GPUs are designed to support more advanced Artificial Intelligence models and intensive workflows, utilizing the new architecture. Intel Xe2, under the codename battlemagewhich delivers 50% better performance per core. To understand the true firepower of these releases, it's worth detailing that both come with a massive 32 GB of high-speed VRAM, which in practice functions as a spacious "workstation" for the GPU.

This allows for running very large AI models locally with high precision and provides the necessary headroom for complex design projects without sacrificing speed. Heavy processing is handled by the Xe-cores, which act as the board's "workers," while the speed for Artificial Intelligence calculations is measured in TOPS, or Trillions of Operations per Second. Furthermore, both feature hardware acceleration via Ray Tracing, ensuring fast rendering with photorealistic quality.

Despite sharing the same architecture battlemage With an excellent memory bandwidth of 608 GB/s, the models are geared towards different levels of demand.

A Intel Arc Pro B65 It focuses on large models and professional applications, coming equipped with 20 Xe-cores, 20 Ray Tracing units, and 160 dedicated XMX engines to accelerate AI. Its speed in Artificial Intelligence tasks reaches 197 TOPS, with a power consumption focused on the 200W range.

Already Intel Arc Pro B70 It is the most robust model, geared towards advanced AI and ultra-high-performance workstations. It raises the bar with 32 Xe-cores, 32 Ray Tracing units, and 256 XMX AI engines. Its processing capacity is almost double, reaching an impressive 367 TOPS, with power consumption ranging from 160W to 290W, being 230W in the version built by the manufacturer itself.

A major advantage for the corporate market is that both support configurations with multiple video cards operating together in systems. LinuxThis speeds up processing and allows for handling gigantic models in a scalable way.

Intel Arc Pro Battlemage Lineup

Price and availability

For those already planning to upgrade their work setup, the Intel Arc Pro B70 will be available from March 25th, 2026The version manufactured under Intel's own brand has a suggested retail price starting from US$ 949 (R$ 4.991 in direct conversion) While models built by partners such as ASRock, Gunnir, Maxsun, Sparkle, and ARKN will have prices varying according to the final specifications.

In turn, the Intel Arc Pro B65 It will arrive in stores starting in mid-year. April 2026, sold exclusively through partner brands in various formats, with the price depending on the configuration of each card at retail.

In addition to GPUs, the company confirmed that the new commercial PCs will be equipped with processors. Intel Core Ultra 3 Series with vPro will be available from March 31th, 2026For the most extreme workstations, the processors Intel Xeon 600 They will also arrive in retail stores on March 25, 2026, with components costing from $499 to $7.699.
