Intel Core 3 304 Leak Shows New Low-Power Wildcat Lake Chip Ahead of Launch

Intel’s upcoming Wildcat Lake lineup has surfaced again, and this time a new low-power chip called the Core 3 304 has appeared in a Geekbench listing with early performance numbers and core details. The entry shows Intel testing another budget-focused mobile processor, which fits into its lowest-tier lineup and could target thin and affordable laptops in the coming months.

According to the listing, the Core 3 304 scored 2472 in single-core and 6708 in multi-core on Geekbench 6.5.0 Pro for Windows AVX2, which gives a first look at how this chip performs in early testing, although results from unreleased hardware often change closer to launch. The processor uses a 5-core setup with one core in the first cluster and four in the second, alongside a base clock of 1.50 GHz and a boost clock reaching up to 4.28 GHz.

This configuration looks different from earlier Wildcat Lake leaks that pointed to designs with up to two performance cores and four efficiency cores, which suggests this Core 3 304 variant could be a lower-bin model or early silicon that does not reflect final specifications. Even so, the structure still aligns with Intel’s push toward mixing performance and low-power cores for better efficiency in entry-level laptops.

Intel has already seen leaks for Core 3 310 and Core 5 320, and this new entry adds another layer to its upcoming mobile stack, especially for devices that prioritize battery life and affordability over raw performance.

For now, this Geekbench entry gives a narrow but useful look at Intel’s lower-end mobile strategy, and with multiple leaks now appearing in public databases, the launch window for Wildcat Lake chips looks close, likely within weeks.
