Intel Arrow Lake-H/HX performance laptop platform debuts in the first quarter of 2025, with AI computing power reaching 99 TOPs

In addition to the Arrow Lake-S platform Core Ultra 200S series processors in the desktop consumer market, Arrow Lake also has Arrow Lake-H and Arrow Lake-HX platforms for performance-class notebooks. Intel has predicted that they will be launched in 2025. Season 1 debuts.

Similar to the desktop Arrow Lake-S platform, the performance-class Arrow Lake-H platform with both portability and portability will also have chip blocks such as Compute Tile, GPU Tile, I/O Tile and SOC Tile, but the scale configuration will be different. Slightly different.

Compute Tile is also composed of Lion Cove microarchitecture P-core and Skymont microarchitecture E-core, but judging from the number of grids in the chip rendering, the maximum scale may be 6 P-core + 2 sets (8 in total) E- core, equivalent to the desktop mainstream Core Ultra 5 200 series processor, is expected to provide up to 9 TOPs of AI computing power.

The NPU is still placed in the SoC Tile and should be the same as the Arrow Lake-S platform with two sets of NPU 3 architecture cores. It is expected to provide up to 13 TOPs of AI computing power.

The GPU has changed a lot. The number of cores in the Arrow Lake-H internal display is equivalent to twice the size of the Arrow Lake-S internal display. There are 2 Render Slices containing 8 sets of X^e Core, with a total of 128 vector engines and 8 ray tracing units. The point is that these 128 vector engines are also equipped with an equal amount of Intel XMX (X^e Matrix Extensions), bringing better AI efficiency, with an estimated power of up to 77 TOPs.

Adding up the AI ​​computing power of CPU, NPU and GPU, Arrow Lake-H can have up to 99 TOPs of AI computing power.

By the way, Arrow Lake-H will also integrate the latest Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 wireless transmission modules, which are at the same level as Lunar Lake. This is something that Arrow Lake-S and Arrow Lake-HX do not have.

As for the Arrow Lake-HX platform for performance enthusiast notebooks, it will continue the planning since Alder Lake. The core architecture is exactly the same as the Arrow Lake-S desktop platform, but the IHS (integrated radiator, that is) will be removed. Metal cover in contact with the radiator). However, the difference this time is that the package size of Arrow Lake-HX will be 33% smaller than Arrow Lake-S, further reducing the area occupied on the motherboard.
