Key features of the Intel Core Ultra 200HX and H series mobile processors include:

• Up to 24 cores – eight Performance-cores (P-cores) and 16 Efficient-cores (E-cores) – for HX-series and up to 16 cores – six P-cores, eight E-cores and two low-power E-cores – for H-series, based on Intel’s latest core architecture. These new processors give gamers, creators and professionals the computing power they need for gaming and creating on the go – including up to 41% better multi-thread (MT) performance for Intel Core Ultra 200HX series compared to prior-gen HX-series processors⁶.
• The Intel Core Ultra 200H series features Intel^® Arc^™ graphics with up to eight Intel X^e cores featuring Intel^® X^e Matrix Extensions (XMX) for AI acceleration – providing up to 22% better gaming performance compared with prior gen H-series processors⁷. Across the entire platform these processors deliver up to 99 TOPS (trillion operations per second) when using the graphics processing unit (GPU), central processing unit (CPU) and neural processing unit (NPU).
• The Intel Core Ultra 200HX series processor is Intel’s first mobile enthusiast AI PC with a built-in NPU, providing 13 TOPS.
• The Intel Core Ultra 200HX series processor provides the latest in bandwidth and connectivity, with as many as 48 total PCIe lanes (including PCIe 4.0 and 5.0) to connect the latest discrete GPUs and storage.
• Packaging improvements result in a 33% smaller processor package overall, enabling new premium thin-and-light designs without compromising on performance.

Select Intel Core Ultra 200HX SKUs will offer overclocking options to further tune performance, with key features including⁸:

• Compute overclocking for P-cores and E-cores.

I don't get why Intel is even doing NPUs right now. Their NPUs don't even come close to the minimum windows requirement. I guess they just want to be on the playing field even if they're not scoring any points. 

 

Intel's announcements today seem to be so uninteresting that most of the major tech sites are not bothering to cover it.
