Core 200H “Raptor Lake”: Intel sends the x to the all-new CPUs. Update before 45 comments

A whole range of new laptop processors based on Arrow Lake-H (Core Ultra 200H) and Arrow Lake-HX (Core Ultra 200HX) are expected at CES 2025, but there is also a refresh of Raptor Lake-H processors existing in the Core 200H Series (without Ultra!). Intel has already presented these processors today.
Core Ultra 200H = Arrow Lake, Core 200H = Raptor Lake
Mobile processors of the Core 200H type are still based on the Raptor Lake architecture, so they come 100% from Intel’s 10nm production – and are not, like Arrow Lake-S, mainly produced to order by TSMC. Most recently, Raptor Lake ran alongside Meteor Lake in the mobile Intel Core processor (series 1).
The processors that Intel is now releasing online ahead of CES 2025 were already leaked in October, although the two U models also mentioned at the time are still missing.
H processors offer a TDP of 45 watts as standard, but can also run between 35 and 115 watts. In the Intel Core mobile (series 1), Raptor Lake was recently only available as a U series with a TDP of 15 watts ex factory, so the application area of the platform is completely different. An overview at Intel allows a direct comparison.
There is a Core 9 after all
Interesting detail on the side: while the leaks were still talking about the Core 7 270H, this processor is now called Core 9 270H – when Intel announced the new Core Ultra name series, it said that class 9 was reserved for the Core Ultra .

Comparison of all Core (Ultra) 200 series processors
With the Raptor Lake variants, there will likely be five different series under the Intel Core (Ultra) 200 “umbrella series” in laptops and desktops starting in January.
While the Core Ultra 200s differ primarily in the number of active cores, iGPU and NPU performance, the Core 200s stand out with their older CPU core architectures, older production and lack of NPU – and according to Intel, that’s exactly why it falls into the Core Ultra category.
The table below gives an overview.
