Total cores 16. Core names are not on ARK. Lion Cove and Skymont come from the Tom's Hardware launch article. The architecture of the low-power cores is not stated by Intel, so that row has no core_name.4Press articletomshardware.com/pc-components/cpus/intel-launches-arrow-lake-mobile-family-with-core-ultra-200hx-and-200h-processorsRead 14 October 2026Tom's Hardware, 6 January 2025: the 200H processors feature the Lion Cove P-core microarchitecture and employ Skymont for the E-cores. Its table lists the Core Ultra 7 255H as 16 cores (6+8+2), 16 threads, 5.1 GHz P-core turbo, 24 MB cache and 28 W base power, which matches ARK.
