Intel's newly announced Core Ultra CPUs bring improved performance and AI capabilities to both laptops and desktops at CES this year.

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.

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.

So far, we’ve seen Intel Core Ultra 200V impress in thin and light laptops like the Asus Zenbook S14. And now at CES 2025, Intel is taking it to the next level with the debut of 200U for budget-end systems, 200HX for bleeding edge gaming systems, and 200H for a nice middle ground.

The Core Ultra 200 series now encompasses a broader spectrum of processors, with Arrow Lake serving as the foundation for most of the new chips. This

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.

Bundled with new Core Ultra CPUs While Intel did not have a lot to show at the CES 2025 event, mostly since most of the things were leaked earlier, but the new boxed CPU Laminar coolers that will be bundled with the Core Ultra 200 non-K series have now been spotted.

The company's typical slew of CES announcements made answering "Which do you want?" more difficult than usual.

Intel showcases its Core Ultra 200 series of processors with performance enhancements for AI PCs and edge computing at CES 2025.

There are a total of 11 new Core Ultra 200HX processors. As far as their design is concerned, they’re nearly identical to the Core Ultra 200S desktop processors that Intel debuted last year. The difference is that the company traded off some performance for lower power usage and a more compact form factor.

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