The ongoing CES technology exhibition in Las Vegas highlights the latest innovations from major global manufacturers. We've compiled some of the most exciting breakthroughs, many of which are expected to arrive in Israel this year.
Intel introduced its new Core Ultra 200HX gaming processor, boasting up to 24 next-generation cores, clock speeds of up to 5.5 GHz, and an AI processor (NPU) capable of delivering 13 trillion operations per second. These are Intel’s most powerful gaming processors for laptops, featuring built-in support for WiFi 7, compatibility with Thunderbolt 5, and a 33% reduction in size compared to the previous generation.
Intel emphasized that the new H and HX processors include 11 distinct models: Five Intel Core Ultra 200H processors and six Intel Core Ultra 200HX processors. All models integrate performance cores (P-cores) and efficiency cores (E-cores) of the next generation. The HX models deliver up to 99 TOPS (CPU + GPU + NPU), representing a major leap in AI processing for laptops. Intel revealed plans to release over 40 new laptops with HX processors, alongside dozens of H models, including more than 20 with discrete Intel Arc graphics. According to Intel, this combination of advanced graphics, AI, and intelligent power management redefines mobile gaming, enabling seamless handling of demanding games and projects without compromising portability or prolonged usage.
Israeli Innovation
Intel also showcased its Core 200H series for laptops at CES. These processors, based on the Raptor Lake architecture of the previous generation with significant upgrades, are a product of groundbreaking collaboration between Intel’s Fab 28 manufacturing facility in Kiryat Gat and the development center in Haifa. The idea for these processors originated in joint brainstorming sessions involving Intel Israel's leadership team, including Daniel Ben Atar, Karin Eibschitz-Segal, and senior managers from development and production.
For the first time at Intel, integrated development and manufacturing teams worked together from the initial design stages, leveraging the advanced production expertise of the Kiryat Gat facility. This collaboration maximized the potential of Intel 7 technology, resulting in significant performance improvements.
“The Fab 28 facility in Kiryat Gat actively contributed to the processor's development, optimizing production processes for maximum performance,” explained Yoni Azran, Tomer Sasson, and Shay Peretz of Intel Israel. “This is a prime example of Israeli innovation, where development and production teams work together to bring advanced products to market. These processors are currently being manufactured at Fab 28 in Israel.”
