Intel Core i9-12900HX appeared in the Geekbench database
Although the Core i9-12900HK notebook is already on sale, it is not the strongest for the 12th generation Core notebook processor. Because this time Intel plans to launch a 55W TDP HX series processor, which will directly use the desktop’s Alder Lake-S core. It means that this processor can have up to 8 P-Cores and 8 E-Cores, which are two more P-Cores than the current Alder Lake-H.
At present, Lenovo notebooks equipped with Intel Core i9-12900HX processors have appeared in the Geekbench database. The software recognizes that it has 16 cores and 24 threads, which is consistent with the current Core i9-12900K specifications. The base clock of the processor is 2.5GHz, and the boost clock is 4.89GHz, but the final clock of the processor is estimated to exceed 5.0GHz. After all, the current Core i9-12900HK can also reach 5GHz, and the clock of the Core i9-12900HX cannot be lower than it.
Intel Core i9-12900HX scored 1921 in single thread and 15974 in multi-thread in Geekbench 5’s CPU test. The current Core i9-12900HK’s score is roughly 1800 for a single thread and 14000 for multithreading. Higher TDP and two more P-Cores have obvious advantages in CPU performance. Of course, the integrated graphics specifications of the Core i9-12900HX are definitely lower than those of the Core i9-12900HK, and the number of EUs has been reduced from 96 groups to 32 groups. However, since this processor is definitely used with discrete graphics, the performance of the integrated graphics is actually not a big problem.
