Intel has confirmed the existence of a Core 200H family through a new table published on its website (via momomo_x). The chip maker's updated naming scheme positions these processors as budget alternatives to the Core Ultra 200H (Arrow Lake) family, which is expected to launch next month. While Intel's comparison table only mentions the H-class variants, a Core 200U series is also in the works. It uses the same Raptor Lake Refresh architecture with a different power envelope.
Any Intel CPU that launches without the "Ultra" moniker will not employ the firm's latest architecture. The Core 100 series launched side-by-side with Meteor Lake to accommodate the mainstream segment, namely the Core 100U CPUs. Intel skipped the Core 100H family in favor of already-existing products from the 13th Generation. Theoretically, the Core 200H family is the spiritual successor to Intel's 13th Gen "H" series. While the underlying architecture sees no change, higher-quality silicon gives these new CPUs a healthy bump in clock speeds.
