Intel Core i7-1280P/i5-1240P benchmark results leaked

by ·

At CES 2022 last month, Intel released its 12th-generation Core series mobile processors, which will include two new chips, Alder Lake-P and Alder Lake-M. Alder Lake-P will replace Tiger Lake-H45, H35, and UP3 for mainstream and high-performance laptops, while Alder Lake-M will replace Tiger Lake-UP4 for tablets, handhelds, and ultra-thin laptops.

According to Intel, Alder Lake-P will be equipped with up to 6 Performance Cores based on the Golden Cove architecture and 8 Efficient Cores based on the Gracemont architecture, while Alder Lake-M will be equipped with up to 2 performance cores and 8 energy efficiency cores. In addition, the Xe-LP architecture core display of Alder Lake-P and Alder Lake-M will be equipped with up to 96 sets of EU, and will also support Thunderbolt 4 and WiFi 6E. Like the desktop platform, Alder Lake-P supports DDR5 but uses SO-SIMM memory.
While laptops with the new mobile processors have yet to hit the market, the Core i7-1280P and Core i5-1240P have recently appeared in Geekbench benchmarks. Intel Core i7-1280P is equipped with 6 P-Cores and 8 E-Cores, a total of 20 threads, 24MB of L3 cache, a base frequency of 1.8 GHz, and a turbo frequency of 4.8 GHz. Core i5-1240P comes with 4 P-Cores and 8 E-Cores, 12MB of L3 cache, a base frequency of 1.7 GHz, and a turbo frequency of 4.4 GHz. Both have PL1 at 28W and PL2 at 64W.


The information shows that the test platform is from a Lenovo laptop with 16GB of DDR4 memory, but the processor is different. The Core i7-1280P scored 1784 in the single-core benchmark and 9790 in the multi-core benchmark, while the Core i5-1240P scored 1648 in the single-core benchmark and 8550 in the multi-core benchmark. From the results, the overall performance of the Core i7-1280P is comparable to AMD’s Ryzen 9 6900HX (single 1616/multiple 10151), and the Core i5-1240P is a bit higher than the Ryzen 5 6600H (single 1472/multiple 8054).
