At CES 2022, Intel officially unveiled the entire series of 12th Gen ‘Alder Lake’ laptop and desktop processors. The chipset maker claims that the new 12th Gen Intel Core mobile processors are up to 40 percent faster. These processors can easily beat the previous gen mobile processors in processing speeds. With the launch of new Intel Core 12th Gen Mobile processor, Intel still dominates the PC chipset business globally.
Intel 12th Gen Processors for Mobile and Desktop
During the launch event, Intel unveiled 28 new 12th Gen Intel Core mobile chipsets. Intel claims that the new 12th Gen Core H-Series laptop processors are capable of delivering desktop-like performance. Moreover, the new machines powered by the new chipset will launch next month in the international market. Consumers can expect all major brands like Acer, Asus, HP, Dell, Lenovo, MSI and Razor to bring high-end laptop with latest Intel processors.
12th Gen Intel Core H-Series Processors
To recall, the 12th Gen Alder Lake CPU for desktop was launched last year. Now, Intel has launched the 12th Gen H-Series processors for laptop. The new series will bring Intel’s hybrid architecture with heterogeneous cores to laptops. The hybrid design of the chipset includes up to 6 performance cores and up to 8 efficiency cores. This ensures optimal battery consumption. A similar architecture is used by Apple for the M1 chipset.
Intel states that the Core i9-12900HK is the new flagship CPU. The chipset maker claims that the new CPU is the fastest mobile processor for laptops ever made. Moreover, it is the world’s best mobile gaming platform. Intel claims that the new Aldar Lake chipsets are the most scalable series till date. These chips can power designs across consumers, enterprises, Internet of Things (IoT) products and other applications.
