It’s CES 2025 and we got a whole lotta things popping up from so many brands. Among them, the chip-making giant Intel has also offered new processors to the palate. We are talking about the Intel Core Ultra 200HX Series, the new-gen mobile CPU for laptops in this article in detail.
Intel Core 200 HX Series Overview:
The Core Ultra 200 HX is a member of the Arrow Lake family of CPUs. Designed for gaming machines, this new series is poised to offer 5 percent better single-thread performance and 20 percent multithreaded performance over the previous Raptor Lake-H Refresh CPUs.
We have the flagship Ultra 9 285HX with 24 cores ( 8 performance and 16 efficiency cores) with boost clock speed up to 5.5GHz and a GPU with 4 cores and 13 TOPS NPU. Then we have the Ultra 9 275HX with the same 24-core architecture and a 5.4 GHz top boost speed. And for the rest, you can take a glance at the following image.
However, one concerning thing in this new 200HX series is that the AI TOPS has been drastically reduced, as aforementioned, just 12 TOPS from the more than four times score of the 48 TOPS score of the Lunar Lake Core Ultra V processors. Hence, this new series is not compatible with Microsoft Copilot+.
Plus, the integrated GPU side also takes a hit with lesser horsepower than the one that comes with Intel Core Ultra 200V. So, it’s very likely that this chip will be paired with a discrete GPU such as the newly announced RTX 5000 Series.
