Intel Core i7-12700H Beats Ryzen 9 5900HX by 47% In Leaked Cinebench Scores
Intel is expected to announce their Alder Lake mobile processors in Q1 2022 with rumors and leaks for several of these chips already surfacing. The i7-12700H has recently been spotted running Cinebench on what could possibly be an MSI GE76 Raider 12UH with the results showing impressive performance gains. The processor features six Golden Cove (P) cores and eight Gracemont (E) cores for a total of 14 cores and 20 threads.
The i7-12700H includes a configurable base TDP of 35 W - 45 W and this specific sample was running at a reported base frequency of 2.9 GHz during testing. The processor scored 689 points in Cinebench R20 single-core which places it 12% faster than the Core i9-11950H and 21% faster than AMD's flagship Ryzen 9 5900HX. The processor widens this gap in Cinebench R20 multi-core with a score of 7158 points placing it 47% above the 8-core, 16-thread Ryzen 9 5900HX. We can also see that multi-core performance is 49% faster than the recently released Apple M1 Max in Cinebench R23. AMD is preparing their Ryzen 6000 processors for an early 2022 launch which will be competing with these Alder Lake chips but we have yet to see many performance leaks for them to compare with.

As seen with desktop Alder Lake, if you're prepared to use Windows 11 and need the kind of workloads these chips excel at, are prepared to change board etc, then can make sense for you.
These leaks are just not worth anyone's time.
This old post, about the 3300X :
"This is some kind of cognitive bias. In December 2019 Tom's says the i3-9350K is 'too little too late'. Then in May 2020 they say the 3300x is 'just what gamers need'.... It looks to me like these merely prove that games are not actually all that reliant on multiple threads."
i3-9350K was faster than the 3300X, and 6 months earlier.

5900HX is 45W+ CPU, and yet the fanboys only shit on 12700H for being max 45W.
All high end laptop CPUs get hot as fuck, but somehow only Intel sucks because of it (when the 5900HX is listed as 105C CPU and gets to 95C when gaming).
When AMD offers better MT performance with their higher core count CPUs vs. Intel at the same price point, it's a win for AMD, when Intel does it, it's suddenly not fair and irrelevant because AMD has less cores.
A fair comparison would be to constrain both to 45W constant, then check temps.
FYI both Laptops in the test come from XMG, the only difference between them are the CPUs, which are left at default 45W TDP, this is as apple to apple comparison as it gets because both laptop have the same cooling solution.
HP had set the TDP to 11w, so it doesn't have the power budget to do anything really, it will priotise power to the CPU causing massive frame rate drops even when playing Minecraft with basic graphical settings.
Manufacturers shouldn't be able to do this, at the very least they should make it very clear that you are not getting the expected performance.
Can't even change its TDP setting.
And the reason ( i suspect) for such a low tdp?
They didn't bother engineering a proper cooling solution for this chip so there's a 1mm gap between the heatsink and the chip.
Put a shim in there and temperatures dropped by 30c under load!
Rediculous, sorry end rant.
The generally crappy build and thermals of AMD laptops was one of the things that turned me off of AMD early last year, I was looking at the A15 and Dell G5 with the 4800H and they overheat all the time. There are some "fixes" for this that mostly involve cutting your laptop case up...
