After a ton of leaks and rumors,Intelhas finally made official itsArrow Lakeseries of mobile processors atCES 2025. The lineup includes five newCore Ultra 200Hseriesmobile chips, six newCore Ultra 200HXseries chips, and 12 newCore Ultra 200Sseries desktop processors, further expanding its portfolio. All these processors come with AI-enabled features to optimize performance and deliver even more efficient performance than the previous generation.
Intel Core Ultra 200HX and 200H Series Mobile Processors
Targeting gamers and creators, the Core Ultra 200HX and 200H series boast improvements to thePerformance-cores (P-cores)andEfficient-cores (E-cores), along with anintegrated neural processing unit (NPU)for AI acceleration and Intel Arc graphics. “With breakthrough compute and graphics performance, efficiency, AI capabilities, these processors will push the entire laptop experience to new heights,” said Josh Newman, Intel’s general manager of Product Marketing and Management.
The Core Ultra 200H lineup starts with theCore Ultra 5 225H, which features a total of 14 cores divided intofour P-cores,eight E-cores, andtwo low-power E-cores. It can boost up to 4.9 GHz and comes with integrated Arc graphics capable of 63 TOPS with seven Xe cores. At the top end is theCore Ultra 9 285H, with 16 total cores divided intosix P-cores,eight E-cores, andtwo low-power E-cores. This chip can boost up to 5.4 GHz and packs eight Xe cores for the Arc integrated GPU.
The Core Ultra 200HX processors will be present in high-performance laptops and will start with theCore Ultra 5 235HX, which comes withsix P-coresandeight E-cores, with a boost clock speed of 5.1 GHz, but only three Xe cores for the integrated GPU. Sitting at the top of this lineup is theCore Ultra 9 285HXwith 24 cores, divided intoeight P-coresand16 E-cores, with a max boost clock speed of 5.5 GHz.

Intel Core Ultra 200S Desktop Processors
The lineup of Core Ultra 200S Arrow Lake desktop processors was introduced back in October of last year, and now the company has expanded the portfolio with 12 new offerings that are either 65W or 35W chips. Designed for mainstream desktop users, these processors come with up toeight P-coresand16 E-coresat the top end. TheCore Ultra 9 285carries this configuration of cores with a65WTDP, while theCore UItra 9 285Tuses the same configuration, albeit with a35WTDP. At the bottom of the chart is theCore Ultra 5 225F, offeringsix P-coresandfour E-cores, plus a65WTDP, with a225Tvariant coming with a35WTDP.
Intel Arrow Lake Mobile and Desktop CPUs: Price and Availability
Intel has shared that laptops powered by the Core Ultra 200H and U series will become available startingFebruary 2025and will be followed by the Core Ultra 200HX-based systems sometime in thefirst half of the year. The 200S series, on the other hand, will be available much sooner: both the 65W and 35W desktop processors, as well as OEM systems, will start showing up at various retailers onJanuary 13.
