Quote:Core 200H/U aka Core Series 2

These are not Arrow Lake-H.



Intel has already confirmed the Core Ultra 200H series, expected in the first quarter of next year. These chips will feature a brand-new architecture codenamed Arrow Lake, which combines Lion Cove and Skymont cores with Xe-LPG graphics.

Meanwhile, the company is also preparing a refresh of the existing Raptor Lake mobile chips. It’s worth noting that Intel did not launch 14th Gen Core-H series under Raptor Lake-H, only the HX models. However, there has already been a refresh of Raptor Lake within the Core 100U lineup, alongside Meteor Lake. That being said, the upcoming Core non-Ultra 200H series should be considered a refresh of the 13th Gen Core-H series.

Intel is reportedly preparing seven different SKUs, two of which are U-Series with a default TDP of 15W, and the remaining are 45W SKUs.

The flagship SKU within this lineup is the Core 270H (likely Core 7), meaning there is no Core 9 SKU in this non-Ultra lineup. This chip will feature 14 cores and 20 threads (6 P-Cores and 8 E-Cores), which, as a reminder, are not the same cores found in Arrow Lake.

In short, compared to the 13th Gen Core-H series, the boost clock is 400 MHz higher, which shouldn’t be overlooked. Intel had three parts with identical specs, which are listed below.

High-end Raptor Lake 6P/8E Mobile SKUs

• ➡️Core 7 270H: 14C/20T up to 5.8 GHz
  
• Core i9-13905H: 14C/20T up to 5.4 GHz
  
• Core i9-13900HK: 14C/20T up to 5.4 GHz
  
• Core i9-13900H: 14C/20T up to 5.4 GHz
  

Intel will also offer 12, 10, and 8-core SKUs in this series. Our attention should also turn to the Core 200U series, which includes two SKUs: the 250U and 220U.

It’s worth reminding readers that Intel already has three 100U parts featuring 10 and 6-core configurations, but the 250U and 220U appear to be direct rebrands of the 150U and 120U, respectively, as they even share the same clock speeds.
