Intel Core 3 304 is built on the brand-new Wildcat Lake architecture. It is Intel’s latest low-power processor tailored for entry-level laptops and mini PCs. Delivering reduced power consumption, boosted AI performance and a fully optimized platform solution, it redefines the user experience of mainstream computers.

The JWAWAKEN RE2 is among the first mini PCs powered by the Wildcat Lake platform. It seamlessly integrates Intel’s cutting-edge 18A process technology, 24 TOPS on-device AI computing power and an ultra-slim chassis, delivering innovative solutions for home entertainment, office productivity, light creative work, edge computing and more use cases.

Flagship-Grade 18A Advanced Process Sets a New Benchmark for Entry-Level Chips

Wildcat Lake shares Intel’s 18A (equivalent to 1.8nm-class) process with the flagship Panther Lake lineup, bringing the same state-of-the-art manufacturing technology seen on high-end Core Ultra processors to entry-level silicon. The RibbonFET (2nd-Gen GAA Gate-All-Around Transistor) architecture is deployed at scale for the first time on Intel’s 18A process. Compared with the previous FinFET design, it drastically cuts leakage current — a core enabler of ultra-low power draw — while delivering substantial gains in performance, power efficiency and transistor density.

Furthermore, the processor adopts a heterogeneous design consisting of 1 Cougar Cove Performance Core and 4 Darkmont Low-Power Efficient Cores, striking a precise balance between power consumption and processing capability.

Performance Breakthroughs

Benchmark tests demonstrate that the Core 3 304 delivers approximately 120% higher single-thread performance and a 60% uplift in multi-thread performance versus the widely adopted previous-generation Core i3 N305 processor. For graphics, the new Xe3-LPG architecture GPU features one Xe-core running at up to 2.3 GHz, delivering drastically improved rendering performance over prior generations and a transformative user experience.

Pushing Entry-Level PCs Fully Into the AI Era

The dedicated NPU delivers 15 TOPS of AI throughput. When the CPU, GPU and NPU operate in tandem, the platform’s aggregate peak AI computing power reaches 40 TOPS. This robust hardware foundation enables smooth local execution of complex workloads including billion-parameter large language models and real-time AI translation, ushering mini PCs fully into the AI age.

Enterprise-Grade Capabilities & Multi-Scenario Versatility of the RE2

The JWAWAKEN RE2 incorporates enterprise-grade features including a TPM 2.0 security chip, AC Power Recovery auto-boot and Wake-on-LAN, making it inherently suited for commercial office deployments and lightweight server setups.

Key applicable scenarios for the RE2 include, but are not limited to:

• Home Entertainment Hub: Native 4K video output paired with Xe3 integrated graphics effortlessly handles media playback and casual gaming.
• Commercial Office Terminal: Windows 11 Pro, TPM 2.0 and 2.5G Ethernet satisfy enterprise-grade secure office workflows and seamless team collaboration.
• Light Creative Workstation: The 15 TOPS NPU accelerates local AI-assisted creative tools, while DDR5 memory ensures fluid operation of design and editing software.
• Edge Computing Node: Its ultra-compact footprint and auto-power-on functionality make it an ideal hardware platform for smart home gateways, lightweight AI inference endpoints and other edge deployments.
