Intel is reportedly preparing a refresh for its Raptor Lake architecture under the new Core 2000HX banner. According to leaker Golden Pig Upgrade on Weibo, these high-performance laptop processors will notably omit the Ultra designation from their branding.
Leaker Jaykihn claims Intel is developing an HX-only mobile version of the platform. The proposed lineup features a flagship Core 9 chip with 8 P-cores and 16 E-cores for 24 total cores, alongside Core 7 variants offering 8 P-cores or 6 P-cores configurations.
This refresh provides a bridge before Nova Lake-HX arrives with Core Ultra 4000 branding. Because it utilizes the Raptor Lake architecture, the Core 2000HX series maintains support for DDR4 RAM, offering a versatile option for high-end mobile workstations.
