At IFA in Berlin, Intel is announcing its second generation of Intel Core Ultra processors. Ahead of the show, Dell is getting in on the action by updating the XPS 13.
The new model, the 9350, shares the same chassis design as the last few years of Intel models and the more recent Dell XPS 13 (9345), which houses a Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite. So most of the upgrades in the new model are courtesy of Intel's new chips.
The XPS 13 will start at $1,399.99 with an Intel Core Ultra 5 226V and go up to a Core Ultra 9 288V. These chips have an NPU with up to 48 TOPS, just edging past the 45 TOPS in Qualcomm's chips, but behind the 50 TOPS in AMD's latest processors.
Beyond the 28W mobile chips, the laptops will use either 16GB or 32GB of RAM, go up to 2TB of storage (with a 4TB option coming later). And boast Intel Wi-Fi 7.
