Intel finally officially launched the 12th generation Intel Core processor Alder Lake and also introduced the Intel Evo. This processor consists of four different series, namely U-Series, P-Series, H-Series, and HX-Series which are based on Intel 7 process technology and use the Performance Hybrid Architecture.
Moushumi Mazumdar as Asia Pacific & Japan Consumer Director Segment Intel revealed that the Performance Hybrid Architecture of the 12th generation Intel Core processors combines two types of cores (cores) consisting of Performance Cores (P-Cores) and Efficient Cores (E-Cores). produce high performance, but power efficiency so that it can make multi-thread performance increase.
Aimed at laptops with a slim, power-efficient design, the Intel Core U-Series has a low base power consumption rate of 9 to 15W. This makes laptops that use this processor still have optimal performance even though they are thin in size.
Similar to the desktop version, the mobile processor comes with a hybrid architecture that combines P-cores and E-cores. P-cores refer to performance, and E-cores emphasize efficiency of use.
If the 11th Generation Intel processor comes with 4-core/8-threads specifications in the highest variant, now in the 12th Generation Intel this mobile processor offers 14-core/20-threads. The integrated GPU already uses Intel Iris Xe.
Another feature that does not miss is DDR5 or LPDDR5 support and Thunderbolt 4 for data transfer and provides faster performance. Laptops with this processor are also confirmed to support Intel WiFi 6E.
This 12th generation is also the first time there is an HX variant. It is specially designed for workstation platforms, for workers in specific industries such as engineers, scientists, of course and enthusiasts.
Some of the characteristics offered are single core speeds of up to 5GHz. The Intel Core i9-12900HX series features a 16 core architecture, DDR4 3200 and ddr4800 support. Don't forget PCIe Gen 5 support.
"Overall performance increased by 17 percent for single threads compared to Core i9-12900HK, and 64 percent for multi threads pitted against the same processor," said Moushumi Mazumdar, Asia Pacific & Japan Consumer Segment Director.
In addition, Intel also announced the P series, the latest family of processors that are projected to be the "future" of thin and light laptops.
Intel Core P Series prioritizes the efficiency of P-Cores and E-Cores but still delivers the best performance in carrying out various activities. The P Series also boasts the dimensions of a thin and light laptop that is included in the Intel Evo standard.
Intel also showcased a line of laptops that have adopted this processor. In collaboration with a number of well-known PC manufacturers, several series that have used Intel's 12th Generation are not only for the consumer segment, but also for the gaming segment.
