At the “Let AI Everywhere” event, Intel introduced its newest inaugural Core Ultra mobile processor. Representing a significant stride forward for Intel in semiconductor technology, this product is the pioneer processor leveraging Intel 4 process technology. The inclusion of Intel’s inaugural on-chip AI accelerator, the “Neural Network Processing Unit” (NPU), enhances user experiences by delivering quicker and smoother performance.
The initial lineup of Core Ultra series processors comprises the U and H series, boasting power consumptions of 15W and 28W, respectively. The U series features 2+8+2 core specifications with a maximum 4Xe core display, while the H series offers up to 6+8+2 core specifications and an 8Xe core display. Noteworthy is the upcoming release of the Ultra 9 flagship model in the first quarter of the next year, featuring a 45W basic power consumption, 6+8+2 core specifications, and an 8Xe core display.
According to official figures, the flagship model Ultra 7 165H from the initial batch of Core Ultra series processors exhibits outstanding performance. Its single-thread performance surpasses not only the old i7-1370P but also outpaces the competitor 7840U by 12%. In multi-threaded performance, the Ultra 7 165H outperforms the i7-1370P by 8% and the competing 7840U by 11%. Additionally, the 8Xe core display performance of the Ultra 7 165H is double that of the previous generation, with its gaming performance slightly edging out the competing 7840U.
Anticipating that AI PCs will encompass 80% of the PC market by 2028, providing new tools for work, study, and creation, Intel plans to consistently roll out more AI technology-based products and services over the next few years to cater to market demands.
