After a tumultuous 2024, Intel has much to do if it wants to regain its groove.
Intels Lunar Lake has proven to be a solid chipset in modern laptops.
We saw this play out in ourOrigin Neuron 3500X PC review.

Thats where the Intel Core Ultra 200HX and 200S series come in.
These add to the current laptop and desktop CPU lineup to improve graphical performance and support Thunderbolt 5.
Theres an Intel Core Ultra 5 235H, an Ultra 7 265H, and the top Ultra 9 285H.
The top-end chip uses an eight-performance core, 16-efficiency core layout.
The chip also includes four Xe graphics cores, the same as the 200V series.
Well need to see where they stand on power consumption.
According to Intel, the high-performance 200H operates between 28W and 45W, while the 200HX will require 55W.
Intel pointed to the newly-announced HP EliteBook X with an Intel Core Ultra 7 268V.
That SKU includes four performance cores and four efficiency cores in an eight-by-eight core/thread configuration.
It boosts the P-core frequency to 5.1 GHz with the 12 MB cache.
As you would expect, these business-end laptops are supposed to include some security apparatus.
Still, Intel promises that its chips will use their neural processing capability to detect threats better.
News from the future, delivered to your present.
The Framework 13 now feels like a laptop that’s more than a modular, repairable novelty.
It’s now a gear that’s a joy to both build and use.
