One of the great novelties that we could see in the video game sector a couple of years ago was the arrival of portable consoles that try to replicate the power of a computer, thus creating a simple system to use and compatible with virtually any market game (not counting exclusive). But almost all consoles portable that we have seen so far make use of the AMD APUs as a central nucleus because the company has focused many of its efforts on it, although now, Intel wants to try to compete in front of these processors.
There are currently not too many consoles that make use of Intel processors, both at the level of portable models and traditional ones, they trust AMD and their technologies to offer users the ability to play as possible. The Blue Company has always had a fairly basic argument so as not to enter the gaming market, indicating that they seek to create processors with a “more general purpose”, although it seems that they have managed to realize that the market of the consoles portable And in general the game processors is bigger than they imagined.
Intel’s next objective, compete in the portable console market
More and more brands are trying to find a booming market in which they can stand out, if we talk about the portable game devices for games it is clear that it still has a lot of development ahead. In this aspect, the brand that is clear that currently dominates this type of consoles is AMDmainly because the vast majority of companies that have created such a model such as Valve, Asus, Lenovo or even others less known as Ayane and Onexplayer, has made use of the processors of this company.
But this could change since in an interview with the Laptopmag medium, the vice president and general director of Intel, Robert Hallock, has confirmed that the company has not only planned to expand its range of mobile chips for laptops, but also for future portable devices of games. In addition to this, he has also clarified that the brand is trying to increase the support they offer in terms of processors to portable devices manufacturers, increasing the assistance they will receive.
On the other hand, the processors that would come to these consoles They would be the new ones Panther Lakewhich are the successors of Lunar Lake, who have assured that they have the perfect format to incorporate them into systems of this type:
«Panther Lake is essentially a direct successor of what lunar [Lake] is doing. You saw the package [de la CPU] In the CES, it does not have the integrated memory in the package this time. That also makes it very good for laptops because they can now customize the memory they put on the platform. But we have other technologies that can compensate for having eliminated memory in the package, which saves energy. “
This implies that the company would not remain only in the Lake Lake, so they will surely start working on the launch of portable game systems based on both Arrow Lake-H and Panther Lake, a rather large challenge for the company having in He says that AMD has already managed to gain the trust of both manufacturers and users.
