There are two types of 12th-generation Core that Intel will release at CES 2022 early next year. One is the desktop 65W non-K series Alder Lake-S, and the other is naturally the mobile version of Alder Lake-P, which is different from the desktop version with pure P-Core products. The mobile version of the 12th-generation Core processors all adopt a hybrid architecture. After all, this design is mainly for mobile platforms with energy-saving needs.
At present, VideoCardz has collected information on 9 Alder Lake-P models on Geekbench, including the H series for gamers and the P series for thin and light notebooks, but there is still no trace of the ultra-low-power M series and the H55 for enthusiasts. It is said that H55 will directly use the desktop version of Alder Lake-S core.

Let’s take a look at the H45’s Core i5 model. It will include the 8-core, 12-thread Core i5-12450H, and the 12-core, 16-thread Core i5-12500H. In fact, both have only 4 P-Cores, i5-12450H has 4 E-Cores, and Core i5-12500H has 8 E-Cores. In terms of L3 cache, Core i5-12500H has 18MB, while Core i5-12450H has only 12MB.
Core i7 includes Core i7-12800H, Core i7-12700H, Core i7-12650H three models, the first two are 14 cores and 20 threads, there are 6 P-Core and 8 E-Core, the two should only differ in frequency, while Core i7-12650H has 10 cores and 16 threads, with 6 P-Cores and 4 E-Cores. The flagship is Core i9-12900HK, it still has 6 P-Core and 8 E-Core, but has the highest frequency, and the multiplier is not locked, players can overclock themselves, Core i9 and Core i7 processors are all used with a complete 24MB L3 cache.
The TDP of the P series is 20-28W, which should be used to replace H35. The most high-end Core i7-1280P has a complete 6 P-Core and 8 E-Core and 24MB L3 cache. Core i7-1260P and Core i5-1250P are actually 4 P-Cores plus 8 E-Cores, Core i7-1260P has 18MB L3 cache, Core i5-1250P has only 12MB, and the specifications of the core display may also be different.
