Intel Has Introduced The Core Ultra 200HX And 200H Processors For Gaming Laptops At CES 2025

Intel has officially unveiled its latest processors from the Arrow Lake family at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2025 in Las Vegas, United States. 

The two primary series, Core Ultra 200H and Core Ultra 200HX, are designed to cater to the needs of both thin laptops and high-performance gaming systems. 

The Core Ultra 200H series targets thin laptops that require high performance and energy efficiency, while the 200HX series is aimed at gaming laptops and desktop replacements. 

The 200HX model utilizes the same architecture as Intel's desktop processors to deliver maximum performance in laptops. 

This new processor line enhances Intel's portfolio, which also includes the Core Ultra 200V Lunar Lake series for energy efficiency and the Core Ultra 200S for desktop PCs. 

However, neither the 200H nor the 200HX series meets the minimum artificial intelligence (AI) standards required for Microsoft PC CoPilot+ certification, making the Lunar Lake series the sole Intel option with CoPilot+ capabilities. 

Specifications and Enhancements 

The Core Ultra 200H features the Lion Cove microarchitecture for P-cores and Skymont for E-cores, providing a performance boost of up to 15 percent compared to the previous generation. 

This processor is also equipped with an integrated Intel Arc GPU featuring 8 Xe LPG+ graphics cores (7 cores for the lower model), along with an NPU capable of handling AI workloads of up to 11 TOPS. 

On the other hand, the Core Ultra 200HX is tailored for high-performance enthusiasts. The flagship processor, Core Ultra 9 285HX, boasts a configuration of 8 P-cores and 16 E-cores, with clock speeds reaching up to 5.4 GHz. 

According to Tomshardware.com, on January 8, 2025, Intel claims that this processor offers a single-thread performance increase of up to 5 percent and a multi-thread performance increase of up to 20 percent compared to its predecessor. 

Both series support faster memory up to DDR5-6400 and LPDDR5x-8400, although the maximum memory capacity has been reduced to 96GB. 

This launch occurs amid intense competition for Intel from AMD and Arm-based manufacturers such as Qualcomm, Apple, and Nvidia.
