"Intel's Josh Newman states that the new chips "deliver meaningful, real‑world performance gains so users can experience smoother gameplay, faster creation workflows, and more responsive workstation performance.""
"With what Intel claims is an eight percent increase in gaming performance, it's only a modest gain for the flagship 290HX Plus over the last-gen Core Ultra 9 285HX. For someone with a four-year-old processor like the "Alder Lake" Core i9-12900HX (16 cores / 24 threads), Intel claims a 62 percent uplift in 1080p gaming on high settings."
"The new Arrow Lake Refresh chips will also have "up to 900MHz boost to the die-to-die frequency" for reducing system latency by increasing the speed of the CPU / memory controller link."
Intel introduces two new flagship laptop processors: the Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus with 24 cores/24 threads and Core Ultra 7 270HX Plus with 20 cores/20 threads. These Arrow Lake Refresh chips feature the Intel Binary Optimization Tool for improved native game performance. The 290HX Plus delivers an 8% gaming performance increase over the Core Ultra 9 285HX, with 62% improvement over four-year-old Alder Lake processors. Creative application performance shows 7% gains in Cinebench 2026 single-thread tests and 30% improvement versus older chips. The processors include up to 900MHz boost to die-to-die frequency for reduced system latency. Testing occurs on premium gaming laptops like the MSI Titan 18, priced near $6,000.
