Intel Core 200 "Non Ultra" CPUs may be rebranded Raptor Lake/Alder Lake chips — Core 5 210H spotted with slower performance than the Core i5-12450H

Intel Alder Lake Mobile CPU.

Spotted by hardware sleuth Everest at Bapco, the unreleased Core 5 210H looks similar to the Alder Lake-based Core i5-12450H. One would expect anything under the "Core 200" series to be based on Arrow Lake, but the non-Ultra models appear to be based on the Raptor Lake or Alder Lake silicon.

The fresh sighting of the Core 5 210H has sparked concerns regarding Intel's updated naming scheme. The 200-series monicker will be confusing for consumers with less experience. For example, only Core Ultra 200 parts are based on the Arrow Lake architecture. Meanwhile, the Core 200 parts could be rebadged Raptor Lake/Alder Lake chips.
