Intel’s Core Ultra 200H and 200HX processors represent a bold leap forward for mobile gaming and content creation, setting a new benchmark for performance and efficiency.

Intel launched the Core Ultra 200HX series chips at CES featuring 24 cores for gaming laptops. Here are all the specs and information.

Intel has announced the new Core Ultra 200HX and 200H laptop chips here at CES 2025. The HX parts are the most interesting to PC gamers, as the chips most likely to power your next gaming laptop, so let's get into those first.

The Intel Core Ultra Series 2 processors are rolling out later in the year, introducing improved performance and better protection against malware.

The new Core Ultra 200HX series will be targeted at gaming laptops and should deliver around 5 percent better single-thread performance and 20 percent multithread performance improvements over previous Raptor Lake-H Refresh processors.

Intel has pulled back the curtain on "Arrow Lake" mobile silicon in the U, H, and HX series for the new year, focusing on increased power profiles and less on AI. Plus: "Lunar Lake" gets vPro.

On stage at CES 2025, Intel compared the Core Ultra 9 285HX—essentially the mobile version of the Core Ultra 285K on desktop—against AMD's Ryzen AI 9 HX 375. Intel claims a huge performance advantage in multi-core workloads, which makes sense given that the Core Ultra processor has twice as many CPU cores.

Intel Corp. today expanded its product portfolio with more than a dozen new processors geared toward the laptop market. The chips are joining the company’s Core Ultra 200 product line, which debuted last year.

Intel took the opportunity to unveil its next line of laptop processors, dubbed Arrow Lake. The chipmaker focused on energy consumption and performance for these chips, leaving the AI muscle to the existing Core Ultra 200V (Lunar Lake) series.
