Hands-on with Intel’s Arc G3 handheld at Computex: It might finally give AMD some competition
For years, AMD has been the default choice for gaming handhelds.
Whether it is Valve’s Steam Deck, Asus’ ROG Ally lineup or most of the devices coming out of China, AMD chips have largely powered the handheld gaming boom. Intel has been present, but rarely part of the conversation.
However, Computex 2026 showed us how the tables are about to turn with Intel unveiling its new Arc G-Series processors, a family of chips designed specifically for handheld gaming devices. The company is pitching them as the next step for the category, promising better graphics performance, improved efficiency and longer battery life.
