Previously, Alder Lake-S’s consumption for peak power output capacity has flowed out on the Internet. The new generation platform has further improved the requirements for power supply, and the introduction of IMPV 9.1. If consumers buy relatively high-end 12th-generation Core series processors, they are likely to increase their budget on the power supply. In addition, this also involves Intel’s next-generation product Raptor Lake-S, which is the 13th generation of Core series processors. This is an improved version of Alder Lake-S. It will still use the big.LITTLE hybrid architecture and 10nm process, and it will still be composed of the Golden Cove performance (large) core and the Gracemont efficiency (small) core. However, the number of efficiency cores may increase, provide better cache design, and support DDR5 memory and PCIe 5.0 standards.
Igor’sLAB further compared
Intel Alder Lake-S and Raptor Lake-S through other materials. Alder Lake-S is the same as Raptor Lake-S, will be divided into three TDPs of 125W, 65W, and 35W. In a configuration with a TDP of 125W, although PL2 has increased, the baseline is still 188W, but PL4 has decreased from 359W to 314W. The definition of PL4 has also changed. After optimization, the chip can reach a higher frequency, and the peak power can last for 10 milliseconds.
In the configuration with a TDP of 65W, PL2 has also increased, from 202W to 219W, the baseline has also increased from 126W to 133W, and PL4 has dropped from 311W to 277W, and the baseline has also been reduced from 195W to 179W.
In the configuration with a TDP of 35W, PL2 is maintained at 106W, the baseline is increased from 78W to 80W, and PL4 is reduced from 177W to 152W, and the baseline is also reduced from 131W to 118W.
At the same time, Igor’sLAB also shared some configuration details of the Alder Lake-S processor, including the top 8 performance cores + 8 efficiency cores.
