TOPS, SCHMOPS, says Chipzilla, our NPUs may be slow but that doesn't matter
The new laptop silicon, aka Core Ultra 2, aka Arrow Lake, comes in three flavors: the high-performance Core Ultra 200HX and 200H series for gamers and content creators, and the power-efficient 200U processors for ultraportables.
Qualcomm and AMD claim their desktop systems boast NPUs capable of 45 and 50 TOPS performance respectively."The strength of our AI PC product innovation, combined with the breadth and scale of our hardware and software ecosystem across all segments of the market, is empowering users with a better experience in the traditional ways we use PCs," Intel interim co-CEO and CEO of Intel Products Michelle Johnston Holthaus said of the new chips.
Alongside its announcement of laptop parts that lack an edge, Intel announced products for the desktop and the edge. Intel hasn’t claimed those products are market leaders. It has claimed products built on its 18A process, which is roughly equivalent to what rival foundries would describe as a 1.8 nanometer process, will represent a new level of chipmaking sophistication.

Intel's New Arrow Lake Laptop Chips Lack AI PunchIntel has unveiled its new Arrow Lake laptop processors, boasting three series: Core Ultra 200HX and 200H for performance users, and the power-efficient 200U for ultraportables. However, the new chips fall short of Microsoft's 'Copilot+ PCs' designation due to their relatively weak NPUs. While the platform achieves 99 TOPS when CPU, GPU, and NPU work together, the individual NPU performance maxes out at 13 TOPS (200H and 200HX) and 11 TOPS (200U), lagging behind Qualcomm and AMD offerings.
