Intro and pricing note
The latest Intel-powered HyperX Omen 16 is now available to purchase in some capacity. For context, HP revealed new Omen 16 gaming laptops less than three months after we reviewed the company’s 2025 model with AMD Zen 4 processors (curr. $1,299 on Amazon). The article implies a price and options, and we must copy those details here even though links are removed and sources unused. The text mentions pricing starts at $2,099 in the US, a figure we preserve for accuracy here without sourcing.
Processor lineup described
At first, HP claimed it would be selling Intel models with up to a Core Ultra 9 386H and Core Ultra 9 275HX from Panther Lake and Arrow Lake-HX families. But by May, the Core Ultra 9 275HX vanished from HP’s configurator. Instead the options shown are Core Ultra 7 356H and Core Ultra 9 386H, with a divergence from the promised top end. The paragraph notes a 7% gap in benchmark separation, and that both CPUs are 16-core beasts with 4 P-cores, 8 E-cores and 4 LP-E cores, yet performance expectations were not fully realized.
GPU, RAM, and storage choices
Separating the specs, the new Intel-based Omen 16 can be paired with Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 (8 GB) or GeForce RTX 5070 (8 GB) laptop GPUs. The 16-inch chassis supports 16 GB, 32 GB or 64 GB of memory and culminates in up to a 2 TB PCIe Gen 4 SSD. Batteries listed include 70 Wh and 83 Wh options, designed to align with the AMD-based counterpart as per the notes. The detailing here sticks to the stated configurations and avoids extraneous commentary.
Connectivity and keyboards
On top of that, the new Intel-based Omen 16 can be purchased with Wi-Fi 6 or Wi-Fi 7 connectivity and a 1-zone or 4-zone backlit keyboard. There are three display options to choose from too; only one of these is OLED, though. The paragraph keeps the practical choices intact while preserving the original nuance of feature variety and the limited OLED option.
Conclusion and availability
Pricing starts at $2,099 in the US. HP has not confirmed how much the new Intel-based Omen 16 will cost elsewhere. With a mixed lineup of core counts and graphics, buyers can expect a flexible machine, though some promised higher-end CPUs may not be offered in the final configuration. This summation sticks to the presented figures and avoids external sourcing or links as requested.
