From PC World: 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.
And for those who have wondered when fanless chip cooling solutions will ever debut in the real world, Intel also has some news on that front. The company confirmed that it’s working with Ventiva’s silent cooling solution as well an undisclosed laptop maker as part of Intel’s “Evo” co-engineering program with its laptop partners.
Intel unveiled new chips in three different processor families: the Core U for thin-and-light laptops; the Core H for high performance laptops; and the Core HX for similarly high performance laptops, but geared towards gaming.
Intel is launching five new Core Ultra 200H processors, with 14 to 16 cores and threads. (These chips lack hyperthreading, too.) The Core Ultra 5 225H, the slowest of the family, runs at 4.9GHz; the fastest, the 285H, runs at 5.4GHz. The power draw ranges from 28 to 45W base power, and either 60W or 115W when in turbo mode.
