The Core 7 230H comes with six P-cores, four E-cores, 5.2GHz max turbo frequency (on the P-cores), 24MB of L3 cache, and 45W base power rating. The Core 5 210H comes with four P-cores, four E-cores, max turbo frequency of 4.8GHz (on the P-cores), 12MB of L3 cache and 45W base power rating.
Despite their mobile-like nature, the Core 7 230H and Core 5 205H are inevitably geared towards small form factor systems and motherboard OEMs whose expertise is in integrating laptop chips with desktop form factor boards. The latter is a practice that has grown over the years for markets where the high power efficiency and beefy integrated GPUs of mobile chips are desired in a desktop-like form factor.
Various outlets have already uncovered the 230H and 205H being included in some new motherboard models from MaxSun. There is nothing stopping laptop makers from introducing these chips into laptops, specifically laptops with discrete GPUs, but having a functional iGPU in laptop devices is essential for prolonging battery life while doing non-graphically intensive workloads.
For the uninitiated, the Core 200H series debuted a few years ago as Intel’s budget CPU lineup that slots below its Core Ultra 200 series lineup. The Core 200 series is made up of CPU dies made from Intel’s older Raptor Lake Refresh architecture, and thus does not have any of the architectural enhancements that have been made on Intel’s newer Meteor Lake, Lunar Lake, and Arrow Lake architectures. Intel also has a 200U series featuring Raptor Lake parts with 15W power envelopes.
