Intel® Core™ Series 3 processors

Expand edge AI to mainstream designs

Intel Core Series 3 processors bring built-in NPU, XMX GPU, and up to 6 CPU cores to deliver enterprise-ready edge compute with strong TCO. Built to meet cost and power constraints, they support lightweight AI, responsive graphics, and real-time control, with up to 40 platform TOPS in a 10-28W envelope.

Mainstream edge AI

With three integrated compute engines: a hybrid CPU, NPU, and GPU with Intel® XMX, Intel Core series 3 processors can run lightweight AI, responsive graphics, and mainstream compute on a single SoC – without a discrete accelerator.

Compact designs, smooth graphics​

With a small power envelope and integrated accelerators, Intel Core series 3 processors enable compact, fanless systems that simplify cooling and reduce design complexity for space- and power-constrained edge deployments. 

Reliable, long-life devices

Intel Core series 3 processors bring consistent performance and long-term reliability for demanding edge deployments. With up to 10-year availability, long-term OS support, and support for embedded and industrial conditions, they extend system lifecycles and reduce recertification costs.

Retail decision-making​

A single processor powers 4K signage, interactive displays, and AI product recognition without the need for a discrete GPU, all within compact, fanless systems that save space and reduce noise. Industrial-grade features help keep systems reliable and available for years.

Industrial operations and automation​

Intel Core series 3 processors bring together real-time control (Intel® TCC, TSN) and onboard AI inference for defect detection or anomaly alerts. Operating within a low 10–28W envelope, they simplify cooling and enable sealed, fanless designs. 

Healthcare and medical devices​

Runs imaging, monitoring, and AI analysis on one processor to reduce hardware complexity, while IBECC and tunable reliability help ensure data integrity for patient-critical applications. Long-life availability aligns with regulatory timelines to help reduce costly recertification.
