This new chip boasts a computing power of 120 TOPS (trillion operations per second) from its CPU, GPU, and NPU (neural processing unit), while also consuming 50% less power than its predecessor. The new processor’s NPU, which boasts four times the power of its predecessor, allows it to run AI applications continuously while consuming less power. The platforms additionally support over 300 AI-accelerated features.

The Xe2 graphics architecture allows the Core Ultra 200V to enhance mobile graphics processing performance by 30% over the previous generation.
