The new Core Ultra 200HX series will be targeted at gaming laptops and should deliver around 5 percent better single-thread performance and 20 percent multithread performance improvements over previous Raptor Lake-H Refresh processors.

After a controversial launch on the desktop, Intel is debuting its Arrow Lake processor for laptops here at CES 2025, hoping that the chip’s emphasis on low power has a more welcome reception. It’s the first time the Core Ultra branding has been rolled out for gaming laptops.

Intel unveiled its Arrow Lake Core Ultra 200 desktop chips in October with an emphasis on performance-per-watt, so it’s unsurprising that Intel took a similar approach with its laptop CPUs. The Core Ultra 200U series is particularly efficiency-centric and aimed at thin-and-light laptops, while the 200H and 200HX lines target performance.

Intel’s new Arrow Lake chips will be available on laptops starting Q1, with the 200HX making their debut on gaming laptops before 200H and 200U chips.

The EliteBook Ultra G1i looks particularly compelling, and we also get our first glimpse at HP's new OmniDesk PCs.

HP kicked off CES 2025 with a trio of updated business laptops in its EliteBook line-up, all featuring Intel's new Lunar Lake chips. The EliteBook Ultra G1i, EliteBook X G1i, and EliteBook X Flip G1i sport a familiar design with updated specs inside for the performance and portability professionals and commuters need.

HP is introducing new EliteBook laptops, workstations, and new desktop PCs for the home. Here's everything coming out of CES 2025.
