Industrial environments are rapidly adopting smart manufacturing and real-time intelligence, creating an unprecedented demand for powerful yet energy-efficient edge computing. The new Intel® Core™ Ultra Series 2 (Arrow Lake H) processors are specifically engineered to meet this need, offering a compelling combination of high-performance computing, integrated AI acceleration, and efficient power usage in a compact form factor. Designed for demanding edge workloads and AI-powered experiences, Arrow Lake H represents a transformative leap in performance, efficiency, and on-chip intelligence.
Architectural Innovations: Built for Efficiency and Speed
Building upon the foundation of Meteor Lake, Arrow Lake H utilizes a Multi-Chip Module (MCM) design with a hybrid core architecture featuring P-cores for real-time processing, E-cores for background tasks, and Low Power E-cores for sustained energy efficiency in always-on edge deployments.
AI Acceleration: Up to 99 TOPS of Intelligence at the Edge
Edge AI demands faster and more power-efficient on-device inference. Featuring next-generation Neural Processing Units (NPUs), Arrow Lake H delivers up to 2.5x higher AI performance (99 TOPS combined across CPU, GPU, and NPU) compared to the previous generation (Meteor Lake). This enables on-device AI inference for applications like real-time machine vision, defect detection, sensor fusion, and predictive analytics, reducing latency and enhancing data privacy.
Intel® Arc™ GPUs with XMX: Accelerating Vision and AI
The integration of Intel® Arc™ GPUs, based on the Xe2 architecture and featuring XMX (Xe Matrix Extensions), is a key highlight of Arrow Lake H. These integrated GPUs deliver discrete-level performance with native support for AI inference and parallel compute, enabling seamless real-time rendering, immersive visual processing, and accelerated AI without requiring a dedicated graphics card. This is ideal for space and power-constrained industrial devices. For demanding high-throughput parallel workloads like AI-based video analytics, object recognition, and SLAM in robotics, the Arc GPUs with XMX provide discrete-class performance while maintaining a compact form factor and power efficiency essential for industrial deployments. Combined with the Xe2 architecture, they offer accelerated AI inference, high-resolution image processing, and low-latency visualization and rendering.
