> Intel is reportedly developing a Core 2000HX mobile processor series based on Raptor Lake architecture for high-end laptop workstations.

[Intel](<https://hardwarebrief.com/entity/intel-q248>) is reportedly preparing a refresh for its [Raptor Lake](<https://hardwarebrief.com/entity/raptor-lake-q111303806>) 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](<https://hardwarebrief.com/entity/nova-lake-microprocessor-q136549148>) 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.
