At the end of February 2022, Intel officially released the 12th generation Core Mobile P series processors, and the market is positioned for high-performance thin and light models. Recently, the HP EliteBook 840 G9 with i7-1280P+16GB DDR5-4800 memory was exposed. Compared with the previous generation i7-1195G7, the single-core/dual-core score has improved significantly.
The i7-1280P, which also uses the 12th generation Core hybrid architecture, has 14 cores (6 performance cores + 8 energy efficiency cores) 20 threads, and the Iris Xe architecture of up to 96EU is displayed. The HP EliteBook 840 G9 thin and light notebook tested has a main frequency of 2GHz, a maximum turbo frequency of 4.7GHz, and a 23MB L3 cache.
In terms of test results, hp EliteBook 840 G9 single-core 1767 points, multi-core 9903 points, compared with the previous generation i7-1195G7 significant progress.
Of course, through the previous Intel official test results, it can also be seen that the i7-1280P is higher than the Apple M1 Pro 10 core CPU (8 high-performance cores, 2 energy-efficient cores) in multiple test items. It can be seen that the new generation of Core mobile P series processors to benchmark is Apple's high-end self-developed mobile chips.
In addition to the performance benefits, the new 12th generation Core mobile processors offer the following features:
Supports a wide range of memory specifications, including DDR5/LPDDR5 and DDR4/LPDDR4.
Impressive performance boost scale with up to 70% multithreading performance gains.
