Intel has officially introduced two new processors to its Raptor Lake mobile lineup: the Core 7 230H and the Core 5 205H. These processors represent a refresh of the existing Raptor Lake architecture. The Core 7 230H is equipped with 10 cores, while the Core 5 205H features 8 cores. A significant characteristic of both new chips is the complete absence of integrated graphics (iGPU), a feature also seen in some of AMD's processor offerings. The announcement follows earlier reports of unannounced Raptor Lake chips appearing on certain motherboards. Separately, specifications for an upcoming chipset for Intel's Nova Lake processors, the Q970, have been leaked, indicating support for the LGA 1954 socket and Core Ultra 400S desktop processors, along with 128GB DDR5 CUDIMM support and vPro capabilities.
