The ThinkPad series line of business laptops was first introduced almost 30 years ago, by IBM in 1992. The ThinkPad brand was then acquired by Lenovo in 2005 and the ThinkPad laptops since have all been designed, developed and marketed under the Lenovo company.

After years of annually consistent ThinkPad laptops releases, Lenovo is looking to shake up the ThinkPad family, specifically its T-series, with a new sibling, the Lenovo ThinkPad T16 Gen 1.

The Lenovo ThinkPad T16 Gen 1 is the company’s first-ever 16-inch business laptop in the ThinkPad T series and is replacing Lenovo’s former ThinkPad T15 lineup of big-screen business laptops. With its debut, the ThinkPad T16 comes with a newer design language compared to the former 2021 ThinkPads.

Let’s start off with the screens. The ThinkPad T16 comes with a 16-inch IPS LCD panel that has a more modern aspect ratio of 16:10, compared to the 16:9 aspect ratios of the ThinkPads released prior to 2021. The 16-inch display can be configured up to a resolution of 2.5K, peak brightness of 500 nits, 100% coverage of the sRGB colourspace and optional touchscreen support.

Powering the ThinkPad T16 are Intel’s latest 12th Gen Alder Mobile CPUs or AMD’s latest Ryzen 6000 Pro series of CPUs. For the Intel model, buyers can configure their devices to be equipped with up to an Intel Core i7 from the U-series or P-series of Intel 12th Gen processors, up to 48GB of DDR4 RAM, 2TB of PCIe Gen 4 SSD storage and an optional Nvidia Dedicated Graphics Card, which is either the MX550 or the RTX 2050 Mobile GPU.

Intel CEO, Pat Gelsinger, has just shared a new video in which he offered some bold statements regarding its long standing competitor, AMD. The official believes that the company has managed to overtake AMD for good and would remain as the top player in the market.

Pat Gelsinger shared his views in a new video (Via WccFTech report) where he also wished everyone a “Happy 2022” as well. In the video, the executive talked about his journey after joining the chipmaking giant back in January 2021. Within the period of a year, Team Blue managed to launch several key products, with the most notable one being its latest generation of Alder Lake CPUs.

Furthermore, Pat added that “Alder Lake. All of a sudden…Boom! We are back in the game,” exclaims the impish tech CEO. AMD in the rearview mirror in clients and never again will they be in the windshield; we are just leading the market.” In other words, the CEO believes that the latest 12th generation of Intel Core processors have managed to recapture the lead in the market, in terms of performance, and will continue to dominate the segment.

These are some very bold statements from the senior official. While Intel has managed to bringing consumer interest thanks to the new Alder Lake processors, which offer great price to performance values, AMD likely won’t be sitting still either. As of right now, Intel’s non K variants and the mobile chip models have seen great success in the market that outperform AMD. But Team Red is still a key figure in the server segment and its upcoming CPU generation is also rumored to launch with notable bumps in performance. So stick around for more updates.

Marking a new era for the company, Intel has officially announced its latest 12th Generation Alder Lake chips. The lineup is led by the company’s flagship Intel Core i9-12900K CPU which the brand claims to be the “world’s best gaming processor.”

The announcement comes months after Intel first teased the Alder Lake chips earlier this year in January during CES 2021. Later, in the month of July, the company revealed more details about its hybrid architecture approach.

Unlike the 11th Generation processors, the newly announced 12th-gen processors are very different from what Intel has been offering. The chips are manufactured using Intel 7 process and are the first to use the company’s new hybrid architecture.

This new hybrid architecture is a combination of different cores on the same chip — Big, high-powered performance cores called P-cores and small, low-powered efficient cores called E-cores. This time, the hybrid architecture is coupled with a hardware-based optimization tool called Intel Thread Director for streamlining performance.

The P-cores are for handling the powerful, single-threaded tasks, while E-cores take care of background processes and multi-tasking. Intel Thread Director is officially supported by Windows 11 and the company worked with Microsoft to optimize performance.

Intel has announced three new chips as a part of the 12th Generation Alder Lake lineup, which is led by the Intel Core i9-1200K model. It offers 16 cores, including eight P-cores and eight E-cores. With 24 threads, the chip is capable of reaching clock speeds of up to 5.2GHz using Intel’s Turbo Boost Max 3.0 technology.

Next in line is the Intel Core i7-12700K with 12 cores (eight P-cores and four E-cores), and 20 threads. There’s also Core i5-12700K which is a 10-core processor (six P-cores and four E-cores) with 16 threads. Apart from these, all three chips also come in a KF variant that lacks the integrated Intel UHD Graphics.

These new Intel 12th Generation chips also come with support for up to 20 PCIe lanes (16 PCIe 5.0 and 4 PCIe 4.0 lanes), DDR5 memory at up to 4800MT/s, and larger L3 and L2 cache sizes. The major changes in the hardware also mean that the chips will need a new Z690 motherboard that adds support for Wi-Fi 6E and USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 data transfer.

As for the pricing, the newly announced Intel 12th Generation Alder Lake chips are a bit pricier than their predecessors. Here are the pricing details:

• Core i9-12900K: up to 3.2GHz P-core, 2.4GHz E-core, 5.2GHz boost — $589
• Core i9-12900KF: up to 3.2GHz P-core, 2.4GHz E-core, 5.2GHz boost — $564
• Core i7-12700K : up to 3.6GHz P-core, 2.7GHz E-core, 5.0GHz boost — $409
• Core i7-12700KF: up to 3.6GHz P-core, 2.7GHz E-core, 5.0GHz boost — $384
• Core i5-12600K: up to 3.7GHz P-core, 2.8GHz E-core, 4.9GHz boost — $289
• Core i5-12600KF: up to 3.7GHz P-core, 2.8GHz E-core, 4.9GHz boost — $264

Intel isn’t stopping here. The company has ambitious plans for the hybrid Alder Lake architecture, including mobile chips and ultra-mobile chips for laptops and other portable devices in the future.

Intel is gearing up for the launch of its Alder Lake mobile CPU lineup along with its Alder Lake S series of desktop processors. Now, the high end Core i9 chip has been spotted with an impressive 14 cores and 20 threads, which should launching with upcoming gaming laptops soon.

As of right now, the Core i9-12900H appears to be the fastest chip from Team Blue’s 11th generation of mobile CPU. It was recently spotted within Ashes of The Singularity benchmark. For those unaware, the new Alder Lake P lineup will be replacing the last generation’s Tiger Lake H45, Tiger Lake H35, and the Tiger Lake UP3 series processors. Looking at the benchmark results in AOTS, the Core i9 features 14 cores (6 P Cores + 8 E Cores) and 20 threads (Via WccFTech).

The results of the benchmark has also revealed that the new processors was listed with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 laptop GPU and 16GB of RAM. Unfortunately, the benchmark did not reveal any other finer details like core clock speeds, cache, or memory specifications. In other words, no comparison can be made as of right now to other processors. But seeing how the chip was paired with a top end NVIDIA GPU, we can expect to see it ship with premium gaming laptops.

These laptops will likely launch sometime next year. Although, since Intel is making its own graphics cards as well, we could even see an all Intel powered laptop in the market as well. For those unaware, the chipmaker is also working on ARC Alchemist series of discrete GPUs that will compete with the likes of NVIDIA and ARM in the PC market.

After launching several processors in its 11th generation lineup, Intel has now reportedly started testing the next-generation (12th generation) processors. Benchleaks have spotted the upcoming Intel Core i5-12600K “Adler Lake” processor with the Ashes of the Singularity benchmark, reports Tom’s Hardware.

So far, it has been revealed that the Intel Core i5-12600K processor will come with a 10-core configuration, having six Golden Cove cores and four Gracemount cores. Among them, on the Golden Cove features Hyper-Threading, which brings an unorthodox setup with 10 cores and 16 threads.

It will reportedly come with 20MB of L3 cache and is said to feature a 4.9GHz dual-core core boost on the Golden Cove cores while the all-core boost is allegedly fixed at 4.6GHz. On the other hand, it seems that the Gracemont cores may check in with a 3.6 GHz dual-core boost and a 3.4GHz all-core boost.

Coming to the graphics performance, the Core i5-12600K, when coupled with Nvidia RTX 3080 GPU, managed to score 10,800 points on the Crazy 1080p preset, which apparently represents a 10.2 percent improvement over Core i5-11600K. It easily manages to surpass the 8,100 points of its rival AMD Ryzen 5 5600X.

Given that this is a leaked benchmark of an unreleased product, we would advise you to take this information related to the Intel Core i5-12600K with a pinch of salt. If the reports about the November announcement of Alder Lake are true, then we won’t have to wait longer to know more about this processor.

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.

Intel has just launched its 12th generation of CPUs during its virtual Architecture Day conference. In this event, the company had also announced several new products for both consumers and businesses.

The American chip maker’s latest generation of processors arrive with the codename “Alder Lake,” which is expected to launch within the next few months. It is also expected to first arrive for desktop PCs before being made available in mobile platforms like laptops. A notably change with the new Intel 12th Gen Core processors is the inclusion of both high performance and low performance cores, which is common on mobile processors like smartphone SoCs. During the event, the company also talked about its highly anticipated gaming GPUs, with the first generation being codenamed “Alchemist” that will launch in early 2022 and will be manufactured by TSMC.

Furthermore, the 12th Gen chipsets arrives after the Lakefield CPUs that saw a limited release. The high powered cores will be called Performance Cores while the low powered ones are dubbed as Efficiency Cores (P Cores and E Cores in short). The E Cores are based on the tech giant’s “Gracemont” architecture and the P Cores are based on the “Golden Clove.” Notably, the former aims to offer efficiency and will target multi threaded performance across a large number of individual cores. On the other hand, the latter are built for speed and low latency.

Intel claims that the P Cores are its highest performance cores that it has ever made while this new generation also supports Advanced Matrix Extensions for accelerating deep learning training and inference. The company adds that both P and E Cores are highly scalable and that the new CPUs will be able to handle 100GBps of compute fabric bandwidth per P core or per cluster of four E cores.
