Intel had a busy 2024, dealing with faulty desktop CPUs while launching its AI-heavy Core Ultra 200V mobile processors at IFA in September. These CPUs for laptops were a direct answer to Qualcomm's mighty Snapdragon X Systems-on-Chip (SoC) and AMD's Ryzen AI 300 CPUs, and the nine initial 200V chips have been spotted in laptops like the ASUS Zenbook S 14 we tested.
Just announced at CES 2025 is an expansion to the Core Ultra 200V lineup, this time focusing on vPro enhancements for business and enterprise. The bigger news, especially for gamers and creators, is the unveiling of new Core Ultra 200HX and H-series mobile chips for more powerful laptops. Intel also has some Core Ultra 200U mobile and Core Ultra 200S desktop CPUs to show off, so let's dig in.
