In this vibrant era of technology, each iteration of hardware signifies a leap in productivity and a revolution in experience. The Intel Core Ultra platform, as the official processor designated for the 2024 Paris Olympics, has also joined forces with Olympic athlete Tan Haiyang as the Intel Innovation Experience Officer. This is not only a perfect fusion of technology and the spirit of sports but also a revolution of performance and efficiency in the notebook sector. Today, let's delve into the unique charm and versatile performance of the Intel Core Ultra, and together appreciate this digital feast led by the Intel Core Ultra.

The Intel Core Ultra platform, with its innovative detachable modular architecture design, has completely reshaped the performance boundaries of traditional notebooks. In terms of multi-core performance, energy efficiency, AI application compatibility and acceleration, as well as thermal and power consumption control, the Core Ultra has demonstrated exceptional performance. Particularly, the Core Ultra 9 185H, as the cream of the crop among its peers, features a powerful 16-core 22-thread design and a turbo frequency boost up to 5.1GHz, providing robust power for various complex tasks. Whether it's daily document processing or professional work such as image editing and video production, the Core Ultra can handle it with ease, perfectly matching the performance of Intel Innovation Experience Officer Tan Haiyang in the Olympic arena.

In terms of graphics processing, the Intel Arc integrated graphics have brought significant improvements to the Core Ultra platform. Compared to the previous generation's Iris Xe integrated graphics, the Arc graphics have made particularly notable progress in graphical performance, allowing even thin and light notebooks to smoothly run AAA games at 1080p high quality. This makes the Core Ultra platform undoubtedly the best choice for users who often need to enjoy gaming fun on the go. There's no need to carry a heavy gaming laptop; a slim Core Ultra notebook can meet both work and entertainment needs.

The breakthrough in energy efficiency ratio of the Core Ultra platform is another eye-catching feature. It can provide up to 13 hours of battery life for notebooks while ensuring high-performance output, easily meeting users' needs for all-day unplugged office work. This not only reduces the inconvenience of frequent charging but also makes mobile office work more flexible and free. The excellent thermal performance brought by the high energy efficiency ratio allows notebooks based on the Core Ultra platform to have a more slender design, further enhancing portability.

In the current era where AI applications are becoming increasingly popular, the Intel Core Ultra platform, with its powerful CPU, GPU, and NPU, the three major acceleration cores, brings users an unprecedented efficiency improvement experience. Whether professional graphic designers or video editors, they can achieve a leap in work efficiency through the Core Ultra AI PC. More importantly, the popularization of AI PCs is changing our way of working and thinking, allowing ordinary people to easily enjoy the convenience and efficiency brought by AI.

In practical applications, which notebooks equipped with the Core Ultra platform are worth our attention? Here are two excellent products that combine work and entertainment that I recommend for everyone. For college students who pursue the ultimate cost-performance ratio, I would recommend the ASUS ZenBook 14 2024, which is equipped with the Core Ultra 9 185H processor, along with 32GB of memory and a 1TB solid-state drive. Whether it's handling complex documents, conducting big data analysis, or running large software and creative design, it can be done with ease. The body design, which weighs only 1.19kg and is only 13.9mm thin, perfectly combines mobility with high performance, making it the top choice for efficient productivity. College students often need to use notebooks and frequently carry them to classrooms or libraries, so battery life is still an important indicator for thin and light notebooks with portable performance. The new Intel Core Ultra processor adopts a detachable modular design - SOC module, adding a new low-power computing island, with two "low-power energy-efficient cores" (Low Power E-cores) built-in, suitable for light workloads, further optimizing the balance between energy saving and performance, thereby enhancing battery life.For users who require a larger screen to enhance work efficiency and visual experience, or for white-collar users, the ThinkBook 16+ is an ideal choice. It features a 16-inch large screen design, coupled with a high-resolution display and a dedicated numeric keypad, providing an excellent user experience for professionals in industries that frequently require number input, such as accounting and finance, as well as for users seeking an immersive entertainment experience. Additionally, the ThinkBook 16+ excels in performance delivery; with the activation of the Geek Mode, the power output of the Intel Core Ultra 5 processor can be further increased to 70W, meeting the demands of various high-load applications.

Moreover, it comes pre-installed with "Lenovo Smart Meeting," which intelligently tracks the user's portrait for video conferencing scenarios, keeping the image centered during meetings, and smartly adjusts personal image effects and background replacement features. It also supports the "Temporary Avatar" function, which allows participants to temporarily leave without turning off the camera, providing an intelligent image without disrupting the meeting's flow. So even if you have to take a phone call or use the restroom during a meeting, it can help you "disappear" and avoid embarrassment—how practical!

In this era that pursues efficiency and convenience, the Intel Core Ultra platform, with its exceptional performance, long-lasting battery life, and powerful AI application capabilities, offers users a new digital experience. Whether you are a student or a white-collar user seeking the ultimate cost-performance ratio, or a gaming and entertainment crowd that desires a large-screen visual feast, you can find the perfect match within the Core Ultra platform.
