HP HyperX Omen 15 goes on sale with Intel Panther Lake and AMD Ryzen options paired with RTX 5070 graphics

HP has started listing configurations for its new HyperX Omen 15 gaming laptop, giving us a clearer picture of what to expect when it starts shipping. First announced at CES 2026 in Las Vegas over four months ago, the Omen 15 is a smaller alternative to the Omen 16 and appears to be exclusive to North America for now.

The Intel version of the Omen 15 is now listed with up to the Core Ultra 9 386H, with another configuration using the Core Ultra 7 356H. Both chips belong to Intel's Core Ultra Series 3, known as Panther Lake, and share the same 16-core layout with 4 Performance cores, 8 Efficient cores, and 4 Low Power Efficient cores. The Core Ultra 9 386H boosts up to 4.9GHz while the Core Ultra 7 356H reaches 4.7GHz. Both carry 18 MB of Smart Cache, 25W base power, and up to 80W maximum turbo power.

It is worth noting that the standard 386H and 356H use only 4 Xe3 cores for integrated graphics, unlike the Core Ultra X models, which feature stronger Arc B390 graphics with 12 Xe3 cores. However, the H SKUs are better suited for gaming laptops with discrete GPUs due to their higher PCIe bandwidth, which is exactly how HP is positioning the Omen 15.

On the AMD side, HP is also offering the Omen 15 with the Ryzen 7 8745HX. In January, HP had suggested next-gen AMD options would be available, but it has since clarified that the Ryzen 7 8745HX with Zen 4 cores is the AMD choice for now. Whether newer AMD options will follow remains to be seen.

Across all configurations, the Omen 15 pairs with up to GeForce RTX 5070 graphics and up to 32GB of DDR5-5600 memory. Display options include a 15.3-inch IPS panel at 2.5K resolution with a 16:10 aspect ratio, 500-nit peak brightness, and an 180Hz refresh rate, or a 2.8K OLED alternative with a 120Hz refresh rate and up to 1,100-nit HDR brightness.

Here is a look at the three configurations currently listed on HP's US website:

• Intel Core Ultra 7 356H, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD, RTX 5070 8GB, 180Hz IPS - $2,099
• AMD Ryzen 7 8745HX, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD, RTX 5070 8GB, 180Hz IPS - $2,099
• Intel Core Ultra 9 386H, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD, RTX 5070 8GB, 120Hz OLED - $2,799

Orders with the Core Ultra 7 356H and Ryzen 7 8745HX are expected to start shipping on July 3, while Core Ultra 9 386H stock is anticipated between May 27 and June 1.
