Intel kicked off a slew of 2025 International CES announcements with the Core Ultra 200HX series. The HX segment of mobile processors covers a range of premium gaming notebooks and mobile workstations. These chips tend to be essentially the desktop S-segments of processors but redesigned for the mobile BGA package, letting the platform have the highest possible CPU core count from a client architecture. The same is the case with the Core Ultra 200HX series. It is based on the same chiplet based "Arrow Lake" die with a maximum CPU core count of 8P+16E. AI acceleration comes from a 13 TOPS-class NPU—this won't power Copilot+, but is enough for a few entry-level local AI acceleration workloads. The iGPU is the smallest "Arrow Lake" has to offer, but the idea is that its target platform will have discrete graphics.
The series is led by the Core Ultra 9 285HX, with the maximum 8P+16E core count, a maximum P-core boost frequency of 5.50 GHz. Next up, is the Core Ultra 9 275HX. This chip has the same 8P+16E core CPU configuration has the 285HX, but at slightly lower frequencies, with its P-core boost reaching up to 5.40 GHz. After this, is the Core Ultra 7 265HX, featuring an 8P+12E core CPU configuration, and 5.30 GHz maximum P-core boost. Positioned right below is the Core Ultra 7 255HX, with the same core configuration as the 265HX, but with 100 MHz lower clocks. The 275HX and 255HX appear to be designed for greater volumes.
The entry-level of the segment sees the Core Ultra 5 245HX and the 235HX—both chips are 6P+8E. What sets this apart from the Core Ultra 9 285H is that this chip is its desktop-like I/O and overclocking capabilities. Both the 245HX and 235HX boost up to 5.10 GHz for the P-cores, but are differentiated by different E-core clocks.
A defining feature of the 200HX series that sets it apart from the 200H series, is its I/O, which is comparable to desktop "Arrow Lake-S" chips. You get a PCI-Express 5.0 x16 PEG interface for discrete graphics, at least two NVMe interfaces from the CPU, one of which is Gen 5, and the other Gen 4; and a broad chipset bus with DMI 4.0 x8. The I/O tile also puts out Thunderbolt 4. Intel expects to launch the 200HX series toward the end of Q1 2025 (around mid-March).
