Upcoming Intel laptop CPUs leak, including 45W models

Intel is expected to update its laptop CPU lineup early next year. This update will introduce the Core Ultra 200H series, based on Arrow Lake, and the Core 200H and 200U series, based on the Raptor Lake Refresh.

According to information shared by Jaykhin, the Core 200H/U lineup will include seven SKUs, two of which are U-Series chips with a default TDP of 15W, while the remaining five are 45W SKUs. These will come with integrated graphics with up to 96 EUs clocked at up to 1.55 GHz and up to 24 MB of L3 cache.

The flagship SKU in this series, the Core 270H (presumably Core 7), will reportedly have 14 cores, 20 threads (6 P-Cores and 8 E-Cores) via Hyperthreading, and a boost clock speed of 5.8GHz. This would put it on par with the Core i9-14900HX in terms of boost clock speed.

Intel plans to introduce H-series CPUs with core counts of 12 (4x P-cores and 8x E-cores), 10 (6x P-cores and 4x E-cores), and 8 (4x P-cores and 4x E-cores) as well, complementing the offerings with the Core 200U series, which will include the 250U and 220U. Interestingly, these models appear to be simple rebrands of the existing 150U and 120U, maintaining identical clock speeds and the same 10-core count (2x P-cores and 8x E-cores).

Jaykhin also shared the Core Ultra 200H series lineup, which is expected to have three CPUs with 16 cores (6P + 8E + 2LP): Core Ultra 9 285K, Core Ultra 7 265H, and Core Ultra 5/7 255H, all promising boost frequencies exceeding 5 GHz. In addition to these three, there will also be a Core Ultra 5 235H and a Core Ultra 5 225H with 14 cores (4P+8E+2LP).

Among the Core Ultra 200H CPUs, the Intel Core Ultra 9 285H stands out with 16 cores, 16 threads, a 45W TDP, and a boost clock speed of 5.4GHz. Its E-cores are designed to boost up to 3.7GHz. The rest of the SKUs will have a TDP of 28W, positioning them as successors to the Core Ultra 100H Meteor Lake series. The Arrow Lake configurations will be complemented by 8 to 7 Xe GPU cores with boost clock speeds of 2.35GHz.
