Intel Core Ultra 200HX Series announced, ready for next-gen GeForce RTX 50 gaming laptops
Intel's new 'Arrow Lake' Core Ultra 200HX Series is built for high-performance notebooks and gaming laptops, delivering up to 5% more single-thread performance and 20% more multi-thread performance compared to the Raptor Lake-H refresh. Expect these CPUs to be paired with NVIDIA's upcoming GeForce RTX 50 Series 'Blackwell' laptop GPUs that are expected to be announced at CES 2025 shortly.
According to Intel, these gaming laptops are set to launch later in Q1 2025, so we'll have to wait a bit to find out their actual in-game performance in popular titles like Cyberpunk 2077. The Core Ultra 200HX Series flagship is the Intel Core Ultra 9 285HX, which has 24 (8 Performance and 16 Efficiency cores) and a boost clock speed of 5.5 GHz.
As these are designed to be paired with discrete GPUs, they're equipped with first-gen Alchemist integrated Arc Graphics rather than the latest Blackwell architecture - just like desktop Arrow Lake. With 4 GPU cores, you're looking at a 13 TOPS NPU - falling short of Microsoft's Copilot+ spec.
MSI Raider 18 HX gaming laptop teased: Intel Core Ultra 9 285HX, GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop GPU
MSI's new Raider 18 HX NRE gaming laptop has been leaked, which will reportedly feature Intel's new Core Ultra 9 285HX "Arrow Lake" CPU and NVIDIA's current-gen GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop GPU.
The new Intel Core Ultra 200HX series are high-end enthusiast processors designed for laptops, with HX series processors featuring a 55W TDP by default, but gaming laptop manufacturers are expected to puosh the power envelope to somwhere up to 200W for combined CPU and GPU performance.
Intel's flagship Core Ultra 9 285HX processor will feature 24 cores and 24 threads, with a base CPU clock of 2.8GHz and a boost clock of up to 5.8GHz (no confirmation on that just yet). MSI's new Raider 18 HX gaming laptop will feature 64GB of RAM (with unknown speeds for now).
Lenovo's new ThinkPad X9 14/15 laptop leaked: new design drops the TrackPoint
Lenovo's new ThinkPad X9 14/15 laptops have been leaked, with shots of the new laptop teasing that the company has dropped its popular "pointing stick" or the Lenovo TrackPoint... check it out:
The new Lenovo ThinkPad X9 14/15 laptops have been leaked by WalkingCat on X with a show of the new TrackPoint-less laptops shared ahead of CES 2025 next week. Inside, the new laptops are expected to feature Intel's new Core Ultra 200 series CPUs, but we don't know if they'll be Arrow Lake or Lunar Lake chips.
The new ThinkPad X9 looks thinner but drops some of its connectivity options, with the new ThinkPad X9 14/15 laptops featuring just a single USB Type-C, USB Type-A, and a mini-jack port.
Clevo's next-gen X580 laptop teased: 18-inch display, Arrow Lake-HX CPU, RTX 50 Laptop GPU
Clevo is cooking up its next-gen X580 gaming laptop, which is "just about to be launched" with an 18-inch display, Arrow Lake-HX processor, RTX 50 series Laptop GPU, and more.
The new Clevo X580 gaming laptop was teased in new leaks with the full spec sheet reveals we can expect the 18-inch laptop to feature an Intel Core Ultra 200HX series "Arrow Lake-HX" processor, up to 192GB of RAM, and NVIDIA's new GeForce RTX 50 series Laptop GPUs.
Clevo will be using the new Arrow Lake-HX processors with a 55W TDP, meaning we'll see chips with up to 24C/24T (no Hyper-Threading on Arrow Lake). Clevo's new X580 gaming laptop will feature the "NVIDIA GN22 Board 1" GPU, which might point to the soldered GPU on the laptop motherboard, so we could expect to see the RTX 5090 + RTX 5080 Laptop GPU, or an RTX 5070 Ti + RTX 5070 Laptop GPU inside of the Clevo X580 gaming laptop.
HP's new EliteBook X G1a laptop features flagship AMD Ryzen AI Max+ Pro 395 'Strix Halo' APU
HP's new EliteBook X G1a laptop has leaked, with the new 14-inch workstation laptop rumored to feature AMD's flagship Ryzen AI MAX+ PRO 395 "Strix Halo"A APU.

Intel's new Core Ultra 9 275HX processor features 24 cores (8P+16E) with clock speeds of up to 5.4GHz, with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 Laptop GPU (should be the GN22-X9 we've been hearing about in recent leaks). NVIDIA's new GeForce RTX 5080 Laptop GPU is expected to roll out with 8192 CUDA cores and 16GB of ultra-fast GDDR7 memory, a maximum TGP of 175W, and more.
Bad news for Copilot+ laptops: AI PC 'supercycle' is a bust already claims one analyst
AI laptops such as Microsoft's much-hyped Copilot+ PCs might be set to flop, according to the latest word from one analyst.
This is semiconductor analyst Daniel Newman, who as Tom's Hardware noticed posted on X about Micron's Q3 earnings being slightly weaker than expected - and moreover, the forecast for Q2 2025 dropping considerably (from $8.98 billion to $7.9 billion in predicted revenue).
Newman points out that any 'panic' that this might be the beginning of the end for big AI profits is misplaced, as Micron's revenue for HBM (High Bandwidth Memory) in AI is very much booming, growing at a high double-digit percentage year-on-year.
Lenovo's new ThinkBook Plus laptop teased with rollable display, debuts at CES 2025
Lenovo is preparing its next-gen ThinkBook Plus laptop, which will be rolling out with a rollable display... officially debuting at CES 2025 after being shown off in 2023 in prototype form.
In a new post from leaker Evan Blass, we're being introduced to the Lenovo ThinkBook Plus laptop that has a focus on multitasking, which seems to have the rollable display splitting one screen into two separate displays. Lenovo has shared images showing off presentations and live video chats happening at the same time, showcasing the multitasking abilities of its rollable display laptop.
When the screen is folded, it looks like a regular laptop except it's missing its bottom bezel, which is where the screen rolls down. The keyboard looks like other Lenovo products, but the lid extends to the height of two display, meaning the base will need to be heavier to maintain balance (so it doesn't wobble over).
Lenovo's next-gen Yoga laptop has Intel Core Ultra 200V CPU, under-display camera for CES 2025
Lenovo PR is having a field day in terms of leaks, with another showing us the company's new Yoga laptop that features an under-display camera. Check it out:
The new Lenovo Yoga laptop will feature an ultra-slim bezel design with a front-facing camera that is hidden behind the display, while Intel's new Core Ultra 200V series "Lunar Lake" CPU handles the rest. We've had years of punch-hole cameras, cameras in bezels, and the "Dynamic Island" but Lenovo is putting the camera directly behind the display so it's invisible.
Lenovo seems to be going with a smartphone-style approach with its under-display camera, with leaked photos from WalkingCat on X, with the photos looking like they've been ripped right out of a promotional video that is probably destined for CES 2025, especially as the calendar displays 'January 2025'.
ASUS ROG gaming laptops with next-gen GeForce RTX 5090, RTX 5080 Laptop GPUs listed early
