Dell Pro laptops are designed for modern work with Series 3 Intel® Core™ processors

Series 3 Intel® Core™ processors are designed to deliver on-device AI performance capabilities and long battery life for everyday users, making them a strong fit for modern professionals who need reliable, efficient systems for day‑to‑day work. When paired with Dell Pro laptops, organizations get advanced laptop capabilities at everyday price points, with the performance, ports and portability to eliminate second-guessing, creating a cost-effective way to deploy business systems built for real-world work, not over-engineered devices.

Dell and Intel together form a winning combination: Intel delivers the processor innovation, and Dell adds enterprise‑ready design, security and manageability. The latest Dell Pro generation brings:

• • Modern, thin‑and‑light designs that are easy to carry, fit seamlessly into today’s hybrid workspaces and are up to 18% thinner than the previous generation.¹
  • Improved thermals and acoustics that help systems run cooler and quieter under typical business loads.
  • Up‑to‑date connectivity so users can connect peripherals, displays and networks with confidence.

This balance of Intel platform innovation and Dell Pro hardware design gives organizations a practical, future‑ready foundation for standardizing client devices across a wide range of roles.

Performance and efficiency working together

Dell Pro 3 and 5 series laptops with Series 3 Intel® Core™ processors pair speedy performance with smart energy management. Dedicated performance cores focus on demanding foreground tasks, while efficiency cores handle background activity with minimal power draw. Thanks to this design, you can power through everyday workflows with a system that wakes up quickly, transitions between applications smoothly and stays quiet during the workday.

For example, the Dell Pro 5 runs up to 35% quieter than the previous model under maximum load,^² and the Dell Pro 3 is up to 31% quieter.^³ Combined with Series 3 Intel Core processors, Dell Pro 3 and 5 series laptops keep fan noise in the background so your teams can keep their work front and center.

On‑device AI capabilities built for business

With an integrated neural processing unit or NPU, Series 3 Intel® Core™ processors enable AI‑enhanced experiences to run directly on the device alongside the CPU and GPU. Paired with Dell Pro 3 and Dell Pro 5 laptops, this delivers an AI PC experience designed for everyday business use, accelerating the features people rely on most for collaboration, content creation, security and system management. In familiar workflows like video calls, on‑device AI capabilities such as background blur and voice-to-text run on the NPU instead of the CPU, helping calls feel smoother and more responsive while using less power. Combined with bright 400 to 500 nit displays, HDR-capable FHD camera options on Dell Pro 3 and the optional 8 MP HDR + IR camera on Dell Pro 5, users look professional on screen while easily controlling what stays out of view.

On the productivity side, on-device AI capabilities for writing and summarization can help rewrite emails, summarize meeting notes or translate quick updates directly on the PC. Keeping more of this work local helps protect sensitive content while taking advantage of long-running 45 to 70 Wh batteries that support focused work throughout the day and on the go. Together, Dell Pro laptops and these processors give organizations an AI PC platform that:

• • Right‑sizes local AI acceleration for broad deployments, delivering enough on‑device AI capabilities for everyday collaboration, security and productivity features on every desk, and giving IT a smooth path to reserve higher‑end laptops for roles that truly need more headroom.
  • Provides strong value for standard users, combining modern AI‑capable architecture, long battery life and enterprise‑grade manageability in a cost‑effective platform that can be rolled out at scale across typical knowledge worker roles.
  • Improves latency and privacy versus cloud‑only approaches, by running AI workloads locally across CPU, NPU and GPU, reducing round‑trips to the cloud, keeping more data on the device and enabling responsive experiences even when users are working offline or on constrained networks.

By offloading routine tasks from cleaning up a draft to sharpening a video feed to on‑device AI capabilities, these systems help employees spend less time on busywork and more time on the strategic and creative work that moves the business forward.

Security you can trust

Dell Pro laptops are the world’s most secure commercial PCs⁴ with built-in features such as Dell SafeID with ControlVault 3+ for hardware-based credential storage, Dell SafeBIOS and Dell Trusted Device for BIOS-level tamper detections, physical camera shutters and chassis intrusion detection. Series 3 Intel® Core™ platforms bring silicon-level security with features such as the Intel Partner Security Engine to help secure data and devices. Together, these protections provide a strong, layered security posture.

Together, Dell Pro 3 and Dell Pro 5 with Series 3 Intel® Core™ processors give organizations a practical, secure and cost‑effective way to equip employees with laptops that are ready for today’s work and prepared for what comes next.
