Intel is set to unveil its 12th Generation Alder Lake processors in Fall 2021. The company had unveiled the upcoming CPUs back in August. Now, we have new information regarding the 12th Gen’s T series chipsets.
According to FanlessTech (Via TomsHardware), the American chip making giant’s latest T series of processors will feature a robust clock speed. For those unaware, the company’s K series of processors are usually the high performance CPUs, although now, it seems that the T series might also have some surprising potential in terms of performance despite being low power consumption based chipsets. The Alder Lake CPUs are the latest hybrid desktop chip that features the Golden Cove and Gracemont cores.
The former is responsible for undertaking intensive workloads while the latter is meant to handle day to day tasks. As per the report, The Core i9-12900T allegedly features the same 8+8 configuration as the Core i9-12900K. However, the T variant features 4.9Ghz boost clock, which is just 300MHz lower than the K series version. But, the T model will likely have a much lower base clock. Similarly, the Core i7-12700T will reportedly feature a 4.7 GHz boost clock, while the Core i7-12700K hits 5GHz.
Keep in mind that the K series is high performance chips that have power draws that can easily reach four times higher than the 35W TDP rating of the T series chips. Previous rumors have pointed at a late November launch for Alder Lake, but FanlessTech believes that the T series chips might arrive even later, in early 2022. So stay tuned for more updates.
