Intel’s Core Ultra 200U series of low-power Arrow Lake CPUs have had their specs prematurely leaked, confirming a new generation of Redwood and Crestmont cores. The details, which were shared by leaker @Jaykihn0 on X (formerly Twitter), are for four SKUs within the Intel Core Ultra 200U “Arrow Lake-U” line that caters to hardware aimed at mobile devices with TDPs of 12W, 15W and 28W.

Intel Core Ultra 200U Arrow Lake CPUs Leak with Redwood and Crestmont Cores
The most premium of those will be the Intel Core Ultra 7 265U, packing in a total of 12 cores and 14 threads. Across the four SKUs, it’ll have a 2P+8E+2LP-E core configuration. In the case of the Core Ultra 7 265U, that would be a base of 3.4 GHz and peak turbo up to 5.3 GHz on P-cores while E-cores tap out at as high as 4.2 GHz.
The additional models are the Core Ultra 7 255U, Core Ultra 5 235U, and Core Ultra 5 225U. All will feature an Xe-LPG integrated GPU (iGPU) with 4 Xe-cores clocking up to 2100 MHz, 12 MB of L3 cache, and vPro options available for the 265U and 235U variants.
A key highlight is that these CPUs will use slightly modified versions of the Redwood Cove+ P-Cores and Crestmont Enhanced E-Cores, which are an update over the original Redwood Cove and Crestmont cores seen in Meteor Lake “Core Ultra Series 1” chips.
This indicates the Arrow Lake-U CPUs won’t be using newer Lion Cove or Skymont cores (for the consumer-relevant higher-end Arrow Lake models). Intel´s Lunar Lake platform, which offers those upgrades, is aimed at users of thin and light devices who are interested in newer architecture. Even the iGPU will be from Xe-LPG 1st Gen architecture instead of Xe-LPG+ which is the latest available for the Arrow Lake-H family. The Intel Arrow Lake-U “Core Ultra 200U” CPUs are expected to launch early next year, during CES 2025, alongside the Arrow Lake-H and HX series.
