Intel Core i9-12900HK Could Be The Fastest Mobile CPU Ever

[yotano211]

12900HK Could be the fastest laptop CPU ever:
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.

250w power supply is for nubs, the cool kids use 280+w

Does it need to be water cooled to not throttle? I hope not

Just use liquid metal TIM, only use a copper heat sink. Dont apply to anything else, or bye bye warranty.

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

Looks like a 6+8 configuration. The follow up I suspect is a 8+8 or a 6+10? Probably the former, but idk if it's for mobile maybe it's the latter where battery life actually matters a bit more not to mention thermals are more tricky for mobile small space and you gotta keep it cool or throttling.

If the follow up is a 16 core / 24 thread configuration, it must be 8 + 8:
(8*2) + 8 = 24.

A 6 + 10 would give a total 22 threads, so that doesn't work.

In case anyone else gets confused (i did) when they mention cores / threads, but don't mention how many of these cores are big/small, just do this little formula in your head:
Total number of threads - Total number of cores = Number of Big cores.

ie: 24 - 16 = 8

Thats why i'm still on my Dual core 4th gen i7, with ye olde liquid metal TIM
under 40C at full load, after many years.


Look at all the users in our throttlestop subforum asking for help, with laptops running 90C and thermal throttling literally out of the box

how old is the liquid metal TIM and what brand do you used?

Nice!

Nice!

OK, got it!

Missed the part about the 24 threads though it could be a 6+12 and for mobile that would probably be a better consideration on battery life 22 threads in total is entirely possible, but since they mentioned 24 threads I stand corrected. It's a toss up between a 6+12 or a 8+8 design basically on what Intel wants and if it's for mobile a 6+12 actually seems more sensible in regard to battery drain, but I can see them doing both in time it's just a matter of which they launch first.

Enthusiasts should be excited. I am. New stuff. Not the same old re-hash. Intel this year AMD next year. Doesn't happen very often anymore.

I'm excited for hybrid core technologies, i've mentioned the idea few times as a likely future and got laughed at by 'experts' but it's entirely possible for Intel to slap in ARM CPU's with focused hardware acceleration for the most common tasks (Like apples M1) to run the OS and basic tasks with a very low power budget, and then slap the gaming cores on top for general purpose use on top - and 11 shows that future is possible, with hybrid core designs and specialised schedulers

True that, except that AMD is only supposedly next year - with how things have been developing lately, I won't be surprised if Zen4 gets pushed to 2023 (possibly not even the first quarter).

Not to mention expensive as all hell with how things have been developing lately.
