Google launched its Googlebook laptops yesterday, introducing a new intelligent platform that leverages Gemini AI to succeed its Chromebook offerings. Intel announced it has been collaborating with Google on these models, with Intel Core processors at the core of the platform.

Google is likely to pair these laptops with Intel's latest Core Series 300 Wildcat Lake processors, featuring six CPU cores consisting of two "Cougar Cove" P-cores and four LPE "Darkmont" cores. They also include an NPU 5 with 40 TOPS of INT8 data, an Xe display and media engine, and a GPU with up to two Xe3 cores.

Intel will not be the exclusive platform provider, as Qualcomm and MediaTek will also supply chips. Acer, ASUS, Dell, HP, and Lenovo will participate in the launch, with devices arriving this fall. Google has set strict requirements for OEM partners, including specifications for CPU, memory, keyboard layout, and storage configurations.
