Intel unveiled six Alder Lake models today, which we've entabled below. That leaves a lot of variables for testing, which we'll get into down the road - but for now, let's look at each of the new CPUs, detail Intel's performance claims and discuss exactly how they're able to extract more grunt from the new designs. To complicate matters further, Windows 11 is recommended to get the most out of the new Intel architecture. Some of these boards support a new RAM standard, DDR5, and a new PCIe standard, 5.0 that doubles available bandwidth per lane. The new CPUs will arrive on November 4th, so we don't have long to wait!Īs well as the new CPUs, with that new process and new big/little design, there's also a new larger socket, LGA1700, which is found on a new 600-series of motherboards, beginning with the high-end Z690.
These chips should also multi-task better, with the more efficient E cores taking on background tasks like streaming or virus scans while the P cores handle gaming or content creation. For gaming, Intel is projecting gains of up to 20 percent, again depending on the game - and with the potential for more to come as games are optimised for the unique arrangement. The top chip, the Core i9 12900K, includes eight of each type, for 16 cores and 24 threads in total, and promises to offer boosts of up to 30 percent depending on workload. These are finally 10nm parts - after seven brutal years and multiple 14nm iterations - and they also adopt a radically different hybrid design, with a combination of low-power 'Efficient' cores and high-power multi-threaded 'Performance' cores. Intel unveiled its 12th-gen processors today, shedding light on what promises to be the company's biggest step forward in on the desktop for years.
