Intel’s Wildcat Lake laptop debuts a MacBook-style chassis with a 17 TOPS NPU and fanless option
Intel previews a Wildcat Lake reference laptop with an aluminum, MacBook-like chassis, powered by an unidentified six-core 2P+4LPE CPU (two Cougar Cove P-cores and four Darkmont LPE cores), dual Xe graphics, and a dedicated 17 TOPS NPU. It includes 16GB soldered memory (potential 7,467 MT/s) and offers fanless 11W operation or higher boosts up to 22W/35W, aiming to compete with Apple's MacBook Neo at $599 and signaling a push toward power-efficient AI-capable ultrabooks amid ongoing PC-Apple dynamics.
