Intel's 12th generation Core Mobile processor has released a number of models, but in terms of pure high performance, the earliest i9-12900HK on the market did not have too strong performance release; it is difficult to lift the spirit with only the parameters of up to 14 cores and 20 threads. Fortunately, there are 16 cores / 24 threads of Core i9-12900HX performance score exposure recently, from the performance point of view it has the appearance of challenging the industry's flagship desktop processor.
This in the Geekbench 5 database steal results is Lenovo's new LENOVO 82TD, graphics card equipped with RTX 3080 Ti, processor is Core i9-12900HX, the parameters are displayed as: 16 cores 24 threads, base frequency 2.5GHz, acceleration frequency 4.888GHz, LGA1700 slot, 30MB L3 cache, specifications are much higher than the announced H series flagship Core i9-12900HK.
The Core i9-12900HX also has a strong running score, with a single-core 1921 and a multi-core 15974. In the GK5 rankings, the single-core highest is the Core i9-12900K, scoring 1996 points, followed by the Core i9-12900KF, single-core 1945 points, the Core i9-12900HX can rank third; in the multi-core ranking, the performance of 15974 points is 14017 points ahead of the Ryzen 9 5900X, close to the 16563 points of the Ryzen 9 5950X, which is lower than the 17207 points of the Core i9-12900K.
Of course, the power consumption of this Core i9-12900HX has not been announced, but from the running score, it should be higher than the 45W limit of 12900HK. However, even if it reaches the mobile limit of 65W, this Core i9-12900HX is still very popular, after all, it can catch up with or even exceed the performance of desktop processors are more than 100W products.
A few days ago, Apple released a comparison chart with the energy consumption of the i9-12900K when introducing the M1 Ultra chip, and the advertised caliber was that when the same performance was achieved, the M1 Ultra power consumption was nearly 100W lower.
On the other hand, Intel also compared it with Apple's M1 Max chip when explaining the energy consumption of the i9-12900HK. I wonder if the M1 Ultra, which has 2 times the performance of the M1 Max this time, can surpass the i9-12900HK? At the same time, in the competition with the i9-12900HX, which player will Apple send?
