First Intel Wildcat Lake laptops spotted with up to 165 Hz OLED and 32 GB RAM
Lenovo has just released the IdeaPad Slim 3i 15IPH11 globally with Intel Panther Lake processors. For reference, the 15IPH11 effectively succeeds the 15IRU10 (curr. $415 on Amazon) rather than the 15Q8X10 or 15IRH10R that we reviewed last year, thanks to its Panther Lake-U series processors.
According to its PSREF website, the 15IPH11 is one of many IdeaPad Slim 3 Gen 11 laptops that Lenovo will be offering in 2026. Specifically, the company has now confirmed the existence of the following models.
As their model names suggest, the four laptops feature 14-inch, 15-inch, 16-inch and 17-inch displays, respectively. Moreover, all four utilise Intel's nascent Wildcat Lake platform. Please see our launch article for more details about what Intel markets as Core Series 3 processors.
Currently, Lenovo plans to sell all these laptops with the Core 5 315, Core 5 320 and Core 7 350, a trio of 6-core processors featuring 2 P-cores and 4 Low Power E-cores. For some reason, the 15IWC11 is the only one of the four that will be available with the Core 3 304, which drops to 5 cores by losing a P-core. Also, the Core 3 304 features a considerably weaker iGPU than the Core 5 315, Core 5 320 and Core 7 350.
PSREF reports that all these IdeaPad Slim 3i laptops will be configurable with 50 Wh or 60 Wh batteries and user-upgradeable RAM limited to a single SO-DIMM slot. On top of that, all but the 17IWC11 will be available with OLED displays, including a 165 Hz and 500 nit option for the 15IWC11.
By contrast, the 17IWC11 makes do with a 1080p and 16:9 IPS display that delivers 300 nits peak brightness, a 60 Hz refresh rate, 72% NTSC colour space coverage and a mere 800:1 contrast ratio. Lenovo has not confirmed when the IdeaPad Slim 3i 14IWC11, 15IWC11, 16IWC11 or 17IWC11 will be available ot purchase, though.
