Intel's upcoming "Arrow Lake" processors for desktops have been generating a lot of excitement, but now we have a leak about the high-performance "Arrow Lake-HX" chips designed for laptops. According to Jaykihn on X, Intel has prepared six SKUs specifically for laptop enthusiasts who need powerful processors for workstations and gaming.
The upcoming Core Ultra 200 series SKUs include the 285HX, 275HX, 265HX, 255HX, 245HX, and 235HX models. Starting with the lower-end Core Ultra 5 245HX / 235HX, these processors feature six P-cores running at base speeds of 3.1 GHz and 2.9 GHz respectively. The E-cores in both SKUs are clocked at a base speed of 2.6 GHz. The P-cores can reach a maximum speed of 5.1 GHz, while the E-cores top out at 4.5 GHz. In terms of graphics, the iGPU in the 235HX model has 48 EUs clocked at 1.8 GHz, while the 245HX model runs at 1.9 GHz. These models do not support Thermal Velocity Boost and Turbo Boost Max 3.0, but the remaining SKUs do support both features.
For the middle of the stack, there are two SKUs: Core Ultra 7 265HX / 255HX. Both of these models feature eight P-cores and twelve E-cores. The main difference lies in the clock speeds, with the 255HX model having P-cores running at 2.4 GHz base and 5.2 GHz boost, while the 265HX model has P-cores at 2.6 GHz base and 5.3 GHz boost. The E-cores in the 255HX model run at 1.8 GHz base and 4.5 GHz boost, while the 265HX model has E-cores at 2.3 GHz base and 4.6 GHz boost. Both SKUs have an iGPU with 64 EUs clocked at 1.9 GHz.
At the highest end of the spectrum, we have the Core Ultra 9 275HX and 285HX CPUs. These models come with eight P-cores and sixteen E-cores. The 275HX CPU has P-cores clocked at 2.7 GHz base and 5.4 GHz boost, while the flagship 285HX SKU has P-cores at 2.8 GHz base and 5.5 GHz boost. E-cores run at 2.1 GHz base with a 4.6 GHz boost on both SKUs. Graphics capabilities are similar, with both models featuring 64 EUs clocked at 1.9 GHz for the 275HX and 2.0 GHz for the 285HX.
