Intel needed a win — its new laptop CPU delivers just that

Table of Contents Table of Contents By the numbers Insane efficiency Intel needed a win.

It feels cliche at this point, but it’s true. Intel can’t catch a break. The new Arrow Lake-H chips feel like a tide shift for Team Blue, though, leveraging the highly efficient architectures the enterprise debuted with Lunar Lake to deliver performance and battery life worthy of the best laptops on the market.

We’ve already seen what Intel’s Lunar Lake processors are capable of — read our Asus Zenbook S 14 review for more on that — but. These new Arrow Lake-H offerings are a bit different. Under the hood, Intel is still using its Lion Cove and Skymont core architectures, which Arrow Lake-H shares with Lunar Lake. However, these chips get a larger core count, higher power budget, and. Beefier integrated graphics based on Intel’s Battlemage architecture.

The power budget is really essential here. The base power is 45W, but Intel allows the chip to boost up to 115W for short periods of time. The core split is interesting, too. You get 16 total cores, but they’re split between six performance cores, eight efficient cores, and two low-power efficient cores. If you remember, the efficient cores are actually the main performance driver in this architecture. So the extra two low-power ones are simply there for a little extra multi-core grunt.

I’ve brought in a few comparisons from AMD here. First is an identical laptop packing the Ryzen AI 9 365 — which Intel compares the Core Ultra 9 285H to — and. Second is an Asus Zenbook S 16 with a beefier Ryzen AI 9 HX 370. These are 10-core and 12-core CPUs, respectively, but they use simultaneous multi-threading. The Core Ultra 9 285H doesn’t, so while Intel has a core advantage, AMD actually has a thread advantage.

MSI Prestige 16 (Core Ultra 9 285H) MSI Prestige 16 (Ryzen 9 AI 365) Asus Zenbook S 16 (Ryzen AI 9 HX 370) Cinebench R24 (single/multi) 128 / 918 111 / 819 110 / 871 Geekbench 6 (single/multi) 2,776 / 15,773 2,832 / 14,059 N/A PCMark 10 7,508 7,352 7,229 PugetBench for Photoshop 7,717 7,656 7,248 PugetBench for Premiere Pro 3,520 3,107 2,971 3DMark Time Spy 4,018 3,565 3,207 3DMark Steel Nomad Light 3,494 3,088 3,219.

Intel’s approach clearly works, as you can see in both Cinebench and. Geekbench. These apps typically favor a thread advantage, but Intel is still coming out on top. That’s probably due to a solid lead in single-core speed, which you can see in Cinebench.

PCMark 10 is a bit different. With all three laptops more or less falling in the same range. That’s not too surprising. These are high-end CPUs in some of the best laptops money can buy, so of course they can handle basic office and. Productivity tasks with ease.

The difference makers are Photoshop and Premiere. Intel is providing a slight edge in Photoshop, but there’s a massive boost in Premiere. The Battlemage GPU is certainly helping there, along with QuickSync. Gaming sees a huge boost, as well — frankly, AMD isn’t even close with its integrated graphics, at least until we see the Ryzen AI MAX chips later this year.

Intel is no stranger to performance, and. Frankly, it’s not impressive that Intel can outclass the competition (especially considering the larger power budget). What is impressive is that Intel is able to deliver this level of performance while keeping its battery life in check.

It was very strange queuing up a video to loop on the Core Ultra 9 285H when I left work, only to find it still looping the next morning. And with around half the battery to spare. That’s the kind of efficiency Intel is offering here and without any of the typical tricks in Windows that kick in when the battery gets low enough.

In local video playback, I got nearly 21 hours of battery life out of the MSI Prestige 16 — 20 hours and. 46 minutes, to be exact. For context, the Acer Swift 14 AI with the Ryzen AI 9 365 managed 18 hours and 36 minutes, the MacBook Air M3 lasted 19 hours and 29 minutes. And the HP Omnibook X with the Snapdragon X Elite stayed on for 22 hours and 4 minutes. The Snapdragon chip comes out on top, but Intel is damn close considering this is a 16-core flagship chip.

I expected decent battery life given that Intel is using the same core architectures as its Lunar Lake offerings, but with more cores and. A higher budget, I didn’t expect this Arrow Lake-H chip to be as close as it is to Intel’s Lunar Lake offerings. Not only is Intel’s performance fantastic here — its battery life holds up equally as well.

Something struck me when testing Intel’s new Arrow Lake-H chip. It just worked. Intel has really struggled to catch a break, and although its Lunar Lake laptop chips were a small highlight. They weren’t enough to reverse the narrative established by the desktop Arrow Lake range. Arrow Lake-H makes a lot of sense, though, and it proves Intel was onto something when it decided to focus on efficiency. Now, finally, we can see how Intel is able to scale its design to deliver great performance and battery life in a single package.

It’s a great change of pace for Intel, who up to this point struggled to provide a clean ramp between performance and. Efficiency in laptops, rather splitting the ranges in half with two completely different approaches to architecture. Arrow Lake-H feels like everything coming together, and for a firm that’s been promising that everything will come together soon for years, that’s a big win.

Whoa! Get this Asus Chromebook with 8GB RAM for just $109

Laptops and other electronics are about to get a lot more expensive in the US. If you’re in the market for a super-cheap laptop, you can’t do much superior than this Asus Chromebook, which is going for $109 on eBay. It’s a refurbished model, but with 8GB of RAM and a two-year warranty, it’s still an incredibly affordable way to get a decent laptop.

The Asus CX15 is a laptop, and. Yeah, it’s pretty basic even by Chromebook standards. The Intel Celeron N4500 is a dual-core CPU from 2021, with DDR4 memory support and UHD integrated graphics. 8GB of memory is low for a modern Windows laptop, but. It’s more than enough for ChromeOS as long as you don’t go ham on the browser tabs. This model has just 64GB of storage (not counting the OS), so expect to rely on cloud storage for day-to-day data storage needs.

The CX15 does offer USB-C charging. A nice feature at this price level. And surprisingly, there are both USB-C and USB-A ports on both sides, plus headphone port and microSD card slot. But it doesn’t have a touchscreen, the body and trackpad are plastic, you get the idea.

With Google’s commitment to ten years of ChromeOS updates. It should be running the latest build of the operating system until 2031 at the very least. And the eBay seller includes a two-year warranty from Allstate, so even if the laptop you get isn’t in perfect cosmetic condition. You’ll get a little extra peace of mind for at least two years.

No one’s going to call this thing a speed demon. But if all you need is a reliable way to access the web with a big screen, it’ll do the job. Grab one at this super price while stock is still available!

What you need to know about the T-Mobile Starlink mobile service

T-Mobile yesterday announced more details of its new service powered by Starlink and said Verizon and AT&T customers can use the satellite offering, too. The standard price will be $15 a month as an add-on for T-Mobile customers, and $20 a month for people who don't have T-Mobile as their primary carrier.

While we've written numerous articles about the Starlink/T-Mobile collaboration over the past two and a half years. The service's beta test and a Super Bowl commercial are raising awareness that it exists. In this article we'll answer some questions you might have about T-Mobile Starlink (yes, T-Mobile Starlink is the official name of the service).

Over the past 13 months. SpaceX's Starlink division has launched about 450 Direct to Cell satellites that can provide service to mobile phones in areas where there are no cell towers. Starlink is partnering with cellular carriers in multiple countries, and T-Mobile is its primary commercial partner in the US.

T-Mobile says the goal is to provide telecom service in dead zones. The 500,000 square miles of the US that aren't reached by any terrestrial cell tower. When a user crosses into a dead zone, their phone is supposed to automatically connect to Starlink satellites. T-Mobile Starlink only supports texting for now, but T-Mobile says voice calls and data service will be available eventually.

T-Mobile Starlink is obviously available to T-Mobile customers, but. The carrier said that Verizon and AT&T customers can also use it on their existing phones without switching entirely to T-Mobile. Verizon and AT&T customers will need an unlocked phone with eSIM technology, which lets users activate a cellular plan without a physical SIM card.
