As the "spiritual sequel" of the 11th generation tiger lake-h45 mobile CPU product line, Intel's new 12th generation alder Lake HX series high-performance mobile processor has exposed its first benchmark results on the network** It can be seen that thanks to the increase in the number of cores, it has achieved the expected multi-threaded performance improvement.

Unlike the tiger lake-h45 with integrated chipset, the alder Lake HX series requires additional IO chips (such as hm670 mobile chipset) for input / output.
As for the 12th generation alder lake-p chip, its integrated chipset increases the number of PCIe channels that can be used for peripherals such as graphics processors and storage.

However, the focus of this article is the first evaluation data of Intel's 12th generation core mobile processor (hx55) shared by @ golden pig upgrade package.
As a 16 core alder Lake mobile CPU, it adopts the hybrid core design of 8p + 8e and focuses on the enthusiast market.
It can be seen that the HX Series CPU provides 20 PCIe 5.0 channels (x16 graphics card / X4 SSD) and 16 PCIe 4.0 + 12 PCIe 3.0 channels.
Compared with desktop chips, we don't know what's different about this series of mobile CPUs. BGA board type is consistent with LGA, but it seems to be 2.2mm thinner, and the position of a group of chip capacitors is also adjusted.
CPU benchmark
In this benchmark test, the @ golden pig upgrade package selects two Lenovo y9000p game books, both ddr5-4800 memory and NVIDIA geforce RTX 3070 Ti (NVIDIA gn20-e6 GPU) with TGP power consumption of 125-150w.
I7-12700h / i7-12800hx mobile CPUs are selected for the two laptops respectively. The former belongs to alder lake-p series of 14C / 20t (6p + 8e) and the latter is alder Lake HX series of 16C / 24t (8p + 8e).
1080p game test
In addition to the performance differences caused by core / thread, frequency, cache and other factors, wccftech It also points out the Pl1 / pl2 power consumption threshold of i7-12700h and i7-12800hx mobile CPUs - the former is 115 / 135w and the latter is 125 / 175W.
Overall, i7-12800hx has more prominent advantages of single core / multithreading. However, for the majority of online game players, it seems that there is no need to spend more money to pursue a slight performance improvement of only 2.56%. However, when it comes to 3A masterpieces, HX chips still generally have an advantage of + 15%.
