Intel completes its Arrow Lake lineup at CES 2025; previews Panther Lake, its next big bet | Tech Tips
The Intel Core Ultra Series 2 codenamed Arrow Lake was introduced last year for Intel, providing huge power efficiency gains over the previous generation. While the performance was also decent, the decision to cut hyperthreading did limit its use case, particularly gaming laptops. Thankfully, Intel has listened and introduced the Intel Core Ultra 200HX Series of processors, specifically targeted towards gamers (codenamed Arrow Lake HX).
The top-tier Intel Core Ultra 9 285HX series comes with up to 24 cores (8 performance and 16 efficiency cores) and 24 threads, peaking at 5.5Ghz in frequency, all running at a TDP of around 55W. All of them also feature Intel Arc GPUs with 3/4 cores. Here is a quick look at the 200HX series of CPUs. The company claims it is 25 percent faster than the AMD AI HX 375 processor at the same power.
These CPUs will start arriving in laptops in late Q1 2025, as per Intel.
Processor Name | Cores and Threads | Max GHz | GPU Cores | NPU TOPS |
Intel® Core™ Ultra 9 285HX | 24 (8P+16E; 24T) | 5.5 | 4 | 13 |
Intel® Core™ Ultra 9 275HX | 24 (8P+16E; 24T) | 5.4 | 4 | 13 |
Intel® Core™ Ultra 7 265HX | 20 (8P+12E; 20T) | 5.3 | 4 | 13 |
Intel® Core™ Ultra 7 255HX | 20 (8P+12E; 20T) | 5.2 | 4 | 13 |
Intel® Core™ Ultra 5 245HX | 14 (6P+8E; 14T) | 5.1 | 3 | 13 |
Intel® Core™ Ultra 5 235HX | 14 (6P+8E; 14T) | 5.1 | 3 | 13 |
If you don’t want a laptop that focuses too much on gaming and a performance laptop that is thin and light, Intel also announced the Intel Core Ultra 200H series of processors, with power requirements ranging from 28 to 45 watts. These new CPUs will come with Intel’s Arc GPU, which is better than the previous generation. The total performance including CPU, GPU and AI has reached at 99 TOPS, which is impressive.
Here’s a quick look at the Intel Core Ultra 9 200H series:
Processor Name | Cores and Threads | Max GHz | GPU Cores | GPU TOPS |
Intel® Core™ Ultra 9 285H | 16 (6P+8E+2LP-E; 16T) | 5.4 | 8 | 77 |
Intel® Core™ Ultra 7 265H | 16 (6P+8E+2LP-E; 16T) | 5.3 | 8 | 75 |
Intel® Core™ Ultra 7 255H | 16 (6P+8E+2LP-E; 16T) | 5.1 | 8 | 74 |
Intel® Core™ Ultra 7 235H | 14 (4P+8E+2LP-E; 14T) | 5.0 | 8 | 74 |
Intel® Core™ Ultra 5 225H | 14 (4P+8E+2LP-E; 14T) | 4.9 | 7 | 63 |
Intel also updated its vPro processor lineup, delivering significant performance improvements, increased efficiency, and advanced security and manageability features, making them ideal for modernizing IT environments.
Intel also announced a completely new lineup of chips, codenamed Barlett Lake-S, that are designed to enhance edge computing performance within their CPU ecosystem. This new lineup, called the Core 200S series, is engineered to deliver exceptional performance and efficiency. These processors are tailored for high-end industrial applications, excelling in AI workloads, media processing, and AI analytics, providing a robust solution for demanding computing environments. The configurations will include up to 24 cores running at 5.6 GHz, and topping out with support for up to 48 PICe lanes.
Finally, Intel also teased its next-generation chip: codenamed Panther Lake, which will be the lead product that will be produced on the Intels 18A manufacturing process, and is slated to launch in the second half of 2025.
