Intel Core i9-12900HK Could Be The Fastest Mobile CPU Ever
The Intel Core i9-12900HK is the flagship processor for the upcoming 12th Generation Core Alder Lake-P mobile lineup with 14 cores and 20 threads. The processor was recently spotted on Geekbench 5 where it achieved a score of 1851 in the single-core test and 13,256 in the multi-core test which would make it the fastest mobile processor to date. While we have seen desktop processors included in workstation laptops before this processor could be the fastest chip designed specifically for mobile applications with it beating the recently released Apple M1 MAX and previous champion Core i9-11980HK. This potential title may not last long however with Intel expected to follow up with Alder Lake-S mobile processors that could feature up to 16 cores and 24 threads later in 2022. Intel is expected to launch the mobile Alder Lake-P lineup at CES 2022 alongside their Arc Alchemist desktop graphics cards.

Power consuming (o
Serious question.
I've never used it for anything and never heard of an ocer or enthusiast bragging about geekbench scores.
Since Intel's current ringbus structure only has 2 slots for e-core clusters , each clusters has 4 e-cores.
So it is 2x4 = 8 e-cores max
Unless they do a native 6 P + 16 E die, which is highly unlikely in this generation.
But, nice soundbite for the nubs. The bottom line is laptop performance is stagnant simply because the products are shite most of the time, and they all die sooner rather than later because of it. Performance and laptop don't mix, they never did and they never will, especially as chips get inflated TDPs the last 5 years. Laptops have only gotten burstier, hotter, and more throttly - Apple already abandoned that sinking ship. Sustained performance is and was never the aim. Laptop is the perfect market for Intel to shine because they simply can't chase top performance, so you won't see how its missing. Alder Lake fits that perfectly. Which does make it a better product than what AMD offers there, minus the GPU part.
Take note of the fact it was Intel that coined the term ultrabook which was basically the end of a proper workstation in the consumer and non-pro business range. Planned obscolescence yay You're really not that good at numbers it seems. It requires interpretation instead of just reading them.
but then laptop manufacturers come in with their funny vrms and cooling solutions to ruin our happiness...sigh ...what a world we live in
And we sell it as progress - even to each other, look at the soundbites on this forum. Like Lemmings, although it seems more and more get the memo these days - a good thing.
With a 250W power brick, unlocked TDP motherboard and cooling solution the size of a desktop
In reality we all know how it'll be: Solid battery performance on endurance cores only, with great short burst peaks of performance that degrades fast over longer periods of time, doubly so as age sets in to thermal paste and cat hair meets fan intakes.
One can say that a 5800H is 50% faster than a 5800U all they want, but it is incomplete without the additional information that 5800U is only allowed to consume 15-25 watts of power and 5800H is allowed to consume 45 watts of power. "That will be all! We have what we need, thanks for your time!"

And?
I remember when laptops would run cooler, under 85c. Todays laptops that run under 85c are like street walkers without STDs.
