Intel is building a handheld gaming platform including a dedicated chip


Intel is looking to double down on gaming hardware with a new chip and platform for portable gaming devices.

The platform will include hardware and software, Intel vice president and general manager of PC products, Daniel Rogers, announced at CES on Monday. It will be built off of the company’s Intel Core Series 3 processors, known as Panther Lake, which was announced last year and is now being rolled out in a variety of PCs.

This future platform includes a chip specifically for handheld gaming devices, according to reporting from IGN, which was confirmed by TechCrunch.

These Panther Lake chips are the company’s first built on its 18A manufacturing process which started production in 2025.

Intel is no stranger to the gaming industry and has been building chips for gaming PCs since the 90s. The company leaned more heavily into gaming in 2022 with the release of its Intel Arc GPUs.

Entering the handheld gaming space would be an interesting development, though, as the market is currently dominated by AMD. AMD just announced a new processor designed for gaming PCs, AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D, in its CES keynote on Monday, in addition to new ray tracing and graphics technologies for gaming.

Rogers said Intel will share more details about its new products for handheld gaming devices later this year.
