Intel Offers a Shortcut to Handheld Gaming Devices

Intel released new chips designed for portable gaming handhelds on May 28, 2026. Rather than building custom chips for each company, Intel created a standard design that multiple manufacturers can use—similar to how many phones use the same processor. This approach could lower costs and speed up production. Acer's new Predator Atlas 8 is the first device using these chips. The move may finally challenge AMD's dominance in the handheld gaming market.
