Intel’s Wildcat Lake Reference Laptop Takes Direct Aim at MacBook Neo with Aluminum Body, Breezy Colors, and Fanless 11W Mode

Intel showed off a Wildcat Lake reference laptop for Core Series 3 with a slim aluminum body and colorful finishes.

The design highlights a 6-core CPU, a 17 TOPS NPU, and low-power modes as low as 11W for fanless use.

The concept suggests Intel and its partners could pitch Wildcat Lake as a premium-looking yet affordable mainstream laptop platform.

It appears aimed at competing with Apple’s MacBook Neo-style positioning through thin, light, quiet designs.
