Yesterday Intel unveiled its 2026 commercial client portfolio, which has been purpose-built for every type of professional, powering more than 125 designs.
Intel also unveiled its high-end Intel® Arc™ Pro B70 & B65 discrete graphics cards, alongside retail availability for its Intel® Xeon™ 600 processors for workstation, both of which are designed to deliver high compute and scalability for professionals across every industry.
At the centre is Intel Core Ultra Series 3, the first commercial PC platform built on Intel 18A, bringing next-generation performance efficiency and integrated AI acceleration to businesses worldwide. Combined with the latest Intel vPro® platform enhancements, Intel is redefining what organisations can expect from managed PCs, from seamless deployment to proactive security and intelligent fleet operations.
David Feng, Vice President of Client Computing Group and GM of PC Segments at Intel Corporation, commented:
“From commercial laptops to high-performance workstations, this is the most expansive and capable commercial portfolio Intel has ever delivered. We’re enabling IT and business leaders with the performance, power efficiency, security, manageability and AI capability they need to power the next era of work.”
Intel Core Ultra Series 3 brings exceptional performance, longer lasting battery life, a new class of integrated graphics and AI acceleration for commercial PCs.
Intel vPro: The Foundation for Modern Managed PCs
Intel vPro advancements deliver integrated security, manageability and reliability. New capabilities include:
Intel vPro Certification Program
Improves application and accessory performance through deep ISV and ecosystem collaboration – reducing CPU utilisation, improving power efficiency and minimising background activity. Early results show as much as
- 59% reduction in CPU utilisation (Flexxible test results)
- 56% power efficiency improvement (Riverbed test results)
- 74% reduction in busy background activity (Absolute Security test results).
Intel vPro Intelligence with Device IQ
Introduces AI- driven analytics to proactively detect, diagnose and resolve device issues, reducing downtime and IT support burden. Integration with Digital Experience (DEX) platforms is planned for second half of 2026.
Intel vPro Fleet Services
Simplifies out-of-band manageability and disaster recovery through first and only fully managed, turnkey Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)-based activation and first silicon partner integrated with Microsoft Intune – eliminating the need for additional infrastructure. IT teams can quickly and intuitively activate Intel vPro manageability directly from the Intune admin centre, accelerating deployment and reducing complexity. As of March 2026, more than 1,300 global commercial customers activated the service in the last quarter.
Intel vPro Security Enhancements
Adds Intel Total Storage Encryption for Microsoft BitLocker and AI-based threat detection with Intel Threat Detection Technology- (DTECT), the only silicon that detects the most advanced malware threats in real time.
Availability: Commercial PCs powered by Intel Core Ultra Series 3 and Intel vPro will be available starting 31 March 2026 in the US (check with your Intel distributor in your region). All versions of Intel vPro® will require an eligible Intel processor, a supported operating system, required connectivity technology, firmware enhancements, and other hardware and software.
New Intel Arc Pro Graphics: Built for Creators and AI Developers
Intel Arc Pro B70 and B65 discrete GPUs expand Intel’s professional graphics portfolio, delivering strong performance and value for content creation, engineering workloads and AI inference.
Built on Xe2 architecture, the discrete GPUs offer up to 32Xe Cores and 32GB VRAM, optimised performance for multi-user and multi-agent AI workloads, and strong price-to-performance for inference, across workstation and edge deployments.
Anil Nanduri, vice president, AI Products & GTM, Intel Data Center Group
“Intel Arc Pro has evolved from powering creative workflows to enabling AI builders at scale. With the Intel Arc Pro B70 and B65, we’re delivering high‑performance workstation graphics and AI inference at exceptional value.”
Availability: The Intel Arc Pro B70 discrete GPU and Intel® Xeon® 600 Processors for Client Workstations are available in the US (check with your local distributor for regional availability). Intel Arc Pro B65 discrete GPUs will be available starting mid-april 2026.
