The Intel Core Ultra Series 2 processors are rolling out later in the year, introducing improved performance and better protection against malware.

The new Core Ultra 200HX series will be targeted at gaming laptops and should deliver around 5 percent better single-thread performance and 20 percent multithread performance improvements over previous Raptor Lake-H Refresh processors.

Intel took the opportunity to unveil its next line of laptop processors, dubbed Arrow Lake. The chipmaker focused on energy consumption and performance for these chips, leaving the AI muscle to the existing Core Ultra 200V (Lunar Lake) series.

According to Intel, new gaming CPUs like the Intel Core Ultra 9 285HX and 275HX will offer significantly better gaming performance.
