Intel announced its 12th Gen Alder Lake Mobile Processors back in January during CES 2022, and this year, Intel has the confidence to compete with AMD in the laptop chip market with its 45W H-series for gaming laptops, 28W P-series for premium thin and light ultrabooks, and 15W U-series for the user who needs the power to go a full day on a single charge.
As of current, we are only seeing the H-series processors in the market in devices such as the Lenovo Legion 5i and Legion 5i Pro 2022 refresh and the Asus Tianxuan 3 gaming laptop available in China. However, a new benchmark in Geekbench 5 indicates that Lenovo is currently testing out the Alder Lake 12th Gen Intel Core Mobile processors on its upcoming premium thin and light ultrabook.
The Geekbench 5 listing shows that the Lenovo device model is codenamed “LENOVO 4810RD0100” and it is sporting an Intel Core i7-1280P Alder Lake processor under the hood. Equipped with 32GB of LPDDR5 2593MHz of RAM, the device has scored 1784 in single-core tests, and 9790 in multi-core tests. These results are astonishing, as this 12th Gen Alder Lake 28W Core i7 P-series mobile processor managed to exceed the scores of last year’s core i9-11980HK found in gaming laptops.
As for the details of the Intel Core i7-1280P chip, it has a total of 14 cores and 20 threads. 6 of those cores are P-cores(Performance Cores) for heavy workloads and 8 E-cores(Efficiency Cores) for lighter tasks. Each P-core has a base clock of 1.8GHz and a turbo frequency of 4.8GHz, whereas each E-core has a base clock of 1.3GHz and a turbo frequency of 3.6GHz.
The processor also has 24MB of L3 cache, 96EUs of Intel Iris XE Graphics. It runs on 28W of base power and its maxes out at 64W on turbo.
Intel has finally brought out its A-Game (Alder Lake) to laptops this year and we are excited to see how collaborations with its laptop manufacturing partners, Lenovo, Dell and Asus will turn out for users in 2022.
