Well, that's not confusing at all.
I guess you should just avoid all U-series, and all non-Ultra when buying yourself.
The only correct choices are Ultra-H, Ultra-HX, and Ultra-V, depending on needs and budget.

What's Ultra-V? Oh right, Lunar Lake.

U-series now has half the graphics units, maybe with the exception of Core 7 250U since it's old.

Well, there you have it. This is why there is a huge lack of Arrow lake desktop chips in retail shops. Intel prefer use the expensive TSMC silicon for next gen new Jokebooks. Can't let AMD and Qualcomm take too big bite of their main market. And where the money is. Intel can't just lose this market.

22 skus ? why ????

intels line up.. has always been so confusing.. and cluttered...

not necessarily. This is MTL on Intel 3, so it should be a not-insubstantial efficiency improvement over vanilla MTL.

MTL-U-R (ARL-U) has the 4 xe core iGP (I'm not really sure what generation, all I "know" is that it's not Xe2), ARL-H has the 8 core iGP from MTL, except with XMX (so basically ACM+), ARL-HX is the same tile config as desktop maybe probably (idk), and RPL-R-R-R is using the tired old 96EU Xe-LP iGP from 2020.

Yeah, 'U' chips stand for Underwhelming now. Which is a shame given that the iGPU is now on its own tile, so no relation to overall yields, and these chips can use plenty of power (example: Core Ultra 5 125U has a cTDP of 12-28W, and turbo TDP of 57W).

RPL-U-R-R-R-R-R is tired, but at least it got the same amount of EUs/Xe cores as its 'H' brethren.

Entire Intel Core 200 laptop lineup leaks out

Headlines like this sort of bother me, as the word "out" is redundant/implied. It sure didn't leak into Intel!

Also, "leaks" has an odd temporal sense. It was an event that happened in the (recent) past, so it "leaked", "got leaked", or "was leaked". Maybe this sort of title comes from videos which actually show an event in progress, however it's misapplied to articles describing something that happened in the past.

I first noticed this phrasing on WCCFTech. I wonder if the author had previously written for them, or maybe just followed their site and picked up on it that way.

Also, the table is kind of weird (although still very helpful). The different columns seem to have no relation to each other, even though at least the models numbers have some relation to each other.

I think it makes little sense to combine U and H/HX models in the same table. So, here's just the U-models:

Core 200U (Raptor Lake)	Core Ultra 200U (Meteor Lake Refresh)
	Core Ultra 7 265U
	Core Ultra 7 255U
Core 7 250U
	Core Ultra 5 235U
	Core Ultra 5 225U
Core 5 220U

And the H/HX ones:

Core 200H (Raptor Lake)	Core Ultra 200H (Arrow Lake)	Core Ultra 200HX (Arrow Lake)
	Core Ultra 9 285H	Core Ultra 9 285HX
		Core Ultra 9 275HX
Core 9 270H
	Core Ultra 7 265H	Core Ultra 7 265HX
	Core Ultra 7 255H	Core Ultra 7 255HX
Core 7 250H
		Core Ultra 5 245HX
Core 7 240H
	Core Ultra 5 235H	Core Ultra 5 235HX
	Core Ultra 5 225H
Core 5 220H
Core 5 210H

To hoodwink the consumers. This will catch out a huge number of people that aren't tech nerds like us. Shameful marketing IMO and AMD is not really any different.

 

[Ogotai]

AMD is not really any different.

actually.. amd is different.. they dont have as many skus for their cpus... specially on the desktop......

Intel sells to OEM like HP and Dell, which have technical experts to differentiate all the different SKUs. End users at the local electronic stores don't have to deal with that.
All the different SKUs is more likely a response to customers' ask to have different products for different price range. PC margin ain't high, so tens of dollars savings here and there matter a lot to PC makers.
