Intel will launch 22 Core Ultra 200 CPUs for notebooks at CES 2025

A recent leak suggests that Intel is preparing to launch a range of Core Ultra 200 CPUs for notebooks, likely debuting in January 2025, with a formal announcement expected at CES. The lineup includes models with “H,” “U,” and “HX” suffixes, targeting various levels of performance.

The information shared by leaker “momomo_us” on X (formerly Twitter) indicates that manufacturers are already testing these processors, hinting at the production of new notebook models featuring the CPUs. Alongside the Core Ultra 200 lineup, Intel is also expected to introduce non-Ultra Core 200 models, designed to update the Raptor Lake line, catering to budget-friendly notebooks, complementing the Core 100 series.

Architecture Breakdown:

• Core Ultra 200H and HX: Built on the Arrow Lake architecture, these chips aim to deliver high performance and will include LPE (Low-Power Efficiency) cores, which are absent in other high-performance Arrow Lake variants like the Arrow Lake-S and Arrow Lake-HX CPUs.
• Core Ultra 200U: Rumored to be an evolution of the Meteor Lake architecture, this variant is expected to emphasize power efficiency for thinner and lighter devices.

Graphics Capabilities:

• Core Ultra 200 H and HX: Will feature an integrated Xe-LPG+ GPU (Alchemist+ generation) with XMX cores, enhancing graphics performance for more demanding applications.
• Core Ultra 200U: Based on the Meteor Lake architecture, these models will likely include the more standard Xe-LPG integrated graphics.

Intel seems poised to deliver a wide range of options for notebook CPUs in 2025, offering cutting-edge architecture and improved graphics capabilities to cater to different segments, from budget to high performance. CES 2025 will likely provide further details on these exciting advancements.

The company has not confirmed all 22 Intel Core Ultra 200 and Core 200 CPUs, so it is important to note that it is possible that one or more models will not be announced or launched at CES 2025.

Confusion with Intel Core Ultra 200 CPUs

When buying a new notebook in 2025, it’s essential to consider the differences between models, as the suffixes in the Core Ultra 200 lineup indicate more than just variations in core count and clock speed. Each suffix represents distinct features and performance levels, so it’s worth doing your homework before purchasing.

It’s also important to note that not all Core Ultra 200 processors are built on Intel’s latest Lunar Lake architecture. Some models might use older technologies, meaning you could have less advanced hardware if you’re not careful. Intel isn’t the only company making changes—AMD has also revamped its mobile CPU lineup, now branded as Ryzen AI 300.
