Intel Core Ultra Series 2 processors power accessible machines for innovators and power users.

To: Anyone who wants uncompromising performance and flexibility

From: Computex 2025, Taipei, Taiwan | May 20, 2025

Visitors to the Intel booth here at Computex 2025 are seeing the full suite of Intel® Core™ Ultra Series 2 desktop and mobile workstation products in action – in a form they may not expect.

At Computex, Intel is displaying the latest high-performance workstation solutions powered by the new Intel Core Ultra processors. The segment is quickly evolving and expanding, with entry-level desktop and mobile workstations leading the charge. They are designed for professional innovators and power users who want workstation performance and capabilities in more accessible platforms.

In Taipei, Intel is showing how these new Intel Core Ultra Series 2-powered workstations are redefining what’s possible in the entry desktop and mobile workstation segment.

In one demo, Mike Bartz from Intel demonstrated AI PC processors running on an Intel-powered mobile workstation. He showed how real-world objects can be photographed and transformed into realistic 3D materials using Adobe Substance 3D Sampler. The AI-powered feature taps into the workstation’s Intel® Core™ H-series and HX-series platforms to run local inferencing workloads in seconds. The result: AI-enhanced images – like fabric swatches – are placed onto 3D models– like a chair – to help users visualize how a specific fabric would look and behave.
