Intel Wildcat Lake

Core Series 3 Computers and Boards for Low-Power Edge AI

Wildcat Lake is the Intel Core Series 3 generation for compact, low-power systems. An Intel Wildcat Lake processor pairs performance and efficient cores with Xe3 graphics and a built-in NPU at around 15 W, which suits fanless edge computers, small boards and signage players that need light AI work without a separate accelerator.

Options include Pico-ITX and Mini-ITX boards with In-Band ECC, rugged edge computers with CAN FD and M12 connectors, and compact signage PCs with dual 4K output, suited to factory automation, transport, retail screens and kiosks where the computer must stay cool, quiet and small.

Speak to an Intel Wildcat Lake specialist to match the processor, the I/O and the form factor to your application.

What to Specify in a Core Series 3 System

Our edge computing specialists specify every Wildcat Lake system against the workload, the I/O and the space it has to fit. These are the choices we work through with you before recommending a range.

Processor and NPU

Core 3, Core 5 and Core 7 parts share one low power budget; check the NPU rating if the application runs AI models.

Displays

Xe3 graphics drive up to four screens on selected boards, with 4K output for signage and HMI.

Memory and ECC

In-Band ECC on embedded SKUs protects memory without dedicated ECC modules, for control and logging work.

Form Factor

Pico-ITX and Mini-ITX boards for your own enclosure, or a finished box PC or signage player.

Expansion

M.2 slots for NVMe storage, Wi-Fi and cellular modules, sized to the board or chassis you choose.

Operating System

Windows 11 or Linux, installed and tested before the system ships.
