Intel 'Alder Lake' 12th Gen Core i9, Core i7, and Core i5 CPUs for gaming, desktop and dynamic desktop PCs have been introduced, following a few months of tires and disclosure of infrastructure. Six new models have been introduced, all unlocked and not too hot. These new CPUs are the first in the 'Alder Lake' family, and are introducing a mix of Performance and Efficiency cores for the first time on X86 consumer PCs. This also marks the emergence of DDR5 RAM and PCIe 5.0 interconnect standard. Intel has not yet announced the availability of 12th Gen CPUs in other components such as laptops, however the company has said more desktop CPU models will follow in early 2022.
The new 12th Gen 'Alder Lake' CPUs will have a mix of two different main types, Intel calls it 'Performance Hybrid Architecture'. This works in the same way that ARM-based smartphone processors have been developed for a few years now. This single structure will work for all Intel segments of the CPU consumer, with different combinations of different types of cores. All 12th Gen Core CPUs will be built with the newly renamed 10m 'Intel 7' processor.
Prices in the US range from $ 589 (approximately Rs. 43,380 before tax) at the end of Core i9-12900K to $ 264 (approximately Rs. 19,445 before tax) for Core 5-12600KF. Models without imaging capabilities have a slightly lower value than their counterparts with integrated GPUs. These prices are per 1000 units, and may not reflect sales prices. Intel said it expects strong retail availability despite global semiconductor shortages, and many PC OEMs are also on board to deliver pre-built desktops. Official prices in India are yet to be confirmed but some free price listings appeared online last week.
New cores of 'Golden Cove' Performance (P) succeed 'Willow Cove' in the current construction of 'Tiger Lake', while the basic 'Gracemont' Efficiency (E) construction can be considered to be a descendant of the old Intel Atom series CPU. . Intel’s first CPU hybrid, called ‘Lakefield’, was launched in 2020 but has been spotted on real-time shipping devices. The 12th Gen Desktop Core i9 CPUs announced so far features 16 cores (8 P + 8 E), while the Core i7 models get 12 cores (8 P + 4 E) and and Core i5 models with 10 cores (6 P + 4 E).
Although P cores are intended to handle high-density low-impact workloads, background tasks and other multi-threaded tasks can be transferred to E cores. Also, P cores continue to benefit from Hyper-Threading, which allows two threads to run simultaneously, but E cores do not work, so 12th Gen Core CPUs will have non-linear core / series numbers. In order to balance workloads and to ensure that appropriate jobs are allocated to each type of core, Intel has developed a new software program called Director of Cables. This requires Windows 11, and Intel says performance will not be upgraded to Windows 10 or other operating systems. Series Director will first harvest P cores, then E cores, and once those are full then the fibers will be given the Hyper-Threading P-cores volume.
Each P core has its own L2 repository, while the four E cores clusters share their own L2 repository. This feed is a standard L3 repository, which allows for faster data transfer and lower delays in workloads that are suitable for each basic type. CPU-free CPUs will also incorporate integrated Intel UHD 770 graphics, based on the Xe LP architecture.
The new Z690 platform controller has been introduced, and the 12th Gen Core desktop CPUs use the new, larger LGA1700 socket. Platform features of this generation include the first use of DDR5 RAM, and official support up to 128GB (dual channel) at 4800MT / s wit h XMP 3.0 profiles. DDR4-3200 RAM is also supported, and the motherboard manufacturers will decide which standard to go with each model. Alder Lake CPUs support up to 16 PCIe 5.0 routers, doubling the PCIe 4.0 bandwidth. New CPU controls and RAM overclocking have also been introduced.
The Core i9-1200K is described as “the best game processor in the world” and Intel claims to offer significant gaming advantages and loads of content creation functions compared to the octa-core Core i9-11900K. It can work up to 5.2GHz. Two main variants run at different Base and Turbo speeds: 2.4-3.9GHz in E cores and 3.2-5.1GHz in P cores. The basic and maximum power ratings are 125W and 241W respectively.
Intel is looking for a 19-percent improvement in gen-on-gen performance in P cores. The Core i9-12900K is said to deliver 50% more fiber performance than the Core i9-11900K with a higher power consumption of 241W compared to 250W. At a rated TDP of 125W, the efficiency is up to 30 percent, while the same level of performance can be reached within the 65W power limit. When playing and streaming simultaneously, Intel wants up to 84 percent of the best frames. When you release an edited video while processing RAW images, that figure is said to be 47 percent. Even performing these tasks in sequence rather than simultaneously is said to be faster.
Other configurations include the Core i9-12900KF which is almost identical; and Core i7-12700K, Core i7-12700KF, Core i-12-12600K, and Core i 5-12600KF. Annex-F indicates a lack of integrated image capabilities, while Annex-K indicates that these models are not locked and do not wash well. Low-end versions of these CPUs should be introduced in Q1 next year, which is likely ahead of CES 2022.
