Intel Quietly Launches Core 7 245HX; An Identical but “Rebranded” Core Ultra 5 235HX

Intel quietly introduced the Core 7 245HX, but it matches the Core Ultra 5 235HX in core count, clocks, and integrated graphics.

Despite the Arrow Lake-HX branding, the new chip looks like little more than a straight rebrand.

The naming is likely to confuse buyers and makes it harder to tell Intel's laptop CPUs apart.

It also suggests Intel may expand a higher-tier Core HX lineup using nearly identical hardware under different labels.
