Intel has launched its “most efficient” family of x86 processors, the Intel Core Ultra 200V series processors, at an event in Berlin on September 3.
According to a press release by the company, the new processor family delivers exceptional performance, breakthrough x86 power efficiency, a massive leap in graphics performance, no-compromise application compatibility, enhanced security, and unmatched AI computing.
Intel said the technology will power the industry’s most complete and capable AI PCs, with over 80 consumer designs from over 20 of the world’s top manufacturing partners, including Acer, ASUS, Dell Technologies, HP, Lenovo, LG, MSI, and Samsung.
Pre-orders begin today with systems available globally on-shelf and online at over 30 retailers starting September 24.
Starting in November, all designs featuring Intel Core Ultra 200V series processors and running the latest version of Windows are eligible to receive Copilot+ PC features as a free update.
What’s new?
Today’s consumers are increasingly creating, connecting, playing, and learning on the go.
They need a system that offers exceptional performance, long battery life , no-compromise application compatibility, enhanced security, and, thanks to broad software enablement, can take advantage of AI hardware.
Intel Core Ultra 200V series processors were designed with all of that in mind, delivering low-power leadership for AI PCs with up to 50% lower package power and up to 120 total platform TOPS (tera operations per second) across central processing unit (CPU), graphic processing unit (GPU) and neural processing unit (NPU) to deliver the most compatible and performant AI experiences across models and engines.
The fourth-generation NPU is 4x more powerful than the previous generation and is ideal for running sustained AI workloads while remaining energy-efficient.
Industry-leading platform TOPS is activated in more than 300 AI-accelerated features enabled by Intel’s work with over 100 integrated software vendors (ISVs) and developers as part of its AI PC Acceleration Program .
The new processors deliver efficient and exceptional core performance through fine-tuned power management and completely rearchitected Performance Cores (P-core) optimized for performance per power per area. To date, Intel’s most powerful Efficient Cores (E-cores) can now contain more workloads, ensuring cool and quiet performance.
Intel Core Ultra 200V series processors mark the debut of Intel’s new X2 graphics microarchitecture, which delivers a significant leap in mobile graphics performance with a 30% average performance uplift.
The built-in Intel Arc GPU includes as many as eight new 2nd Gen X-cores, eight enhanced ray tracing units, support for up to three 4k monitors, and new built-in Intel X Matrix Extensions (Intel XMX) AI engines with up to 67 TOPS to power creative applications and boost gaming performance thanks to enhanced XSS kernels.
Productivity powerhouse
Intel Core Ultra 200V series processors are a productivity powerhouse, offering up to 3x the performance per thread, up to 80% peak performance uplift, and up to 20 hours of battery life in productivity use cases .
These great PCs represent the next evolution of the AI PC.
Through partnerships with leading ISVs, broad ecosystem support, and more than 500 optimized AI models, PCs powered by the newest Intel Core Ultra processors empower users to take full advantage of what AI can offer.
Most designs with Intel Core Ultra 200V series processors will be Intel Evo Edition laptops, co-engineered in close partnership with Intel’s partners and undergoing rigorous testing to deliver the best overall AI PC experience.
By combining key platform technologies with system optimizations, these laptops are engineered to help reduce lag, minimize distractions, and decrease dependency on battery chargers – ensuring exceptional experiences from anywhere.
New this year, Intel Evo designs must meet enhanced metrics for cooler and quieter performance.
