Intel does not state the architecture of the low-power cores, 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 15 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 flagship 45 W model as 16 cores (6+8+2), 16 threads, 5.4 GHz P-core turbo and 24 MB cache, which matches ARK. The table labels that chip Core Ultra 9 258H, which looks like a typo for 285H.
