Intel's 12th Generation Core (Alder Lake) debuted Alder Lake-H45, which is a high-performance processor dedicated to game books (including some all-rounders), with up to 6 large, 8 small, 14 cores and 20 threads. Soon, we will also see the Alder Lake-P28 and the Alder Lake-U15, which will be armed with the more mainstream thin and light and all-rounders. Then, the gamebook will also usher in the bloody 8 large 8 small 16 core 24 threads of The Alder Lake-H55, gaining unlimited access to the computing power of desktop computers.
The so-called "bottom leak is afraid of fellow countrymen", when the Alder Lake-P28 is about to be officially unbanned, Lenovo Xiaoxin released the actual running score test of the platform processor on the official micro. The specific model is equipped with Core i5-1240P small new series of engineering machines, theoretically there is room for further optimization, so the following test results are for reference only, subject to the final retail version.
In simple terms, the Core i5-1240P is Alder Lake-P28 is a low-positioned existence, using 4 large 8 small 12 core 16 thread design, although the number of cores / threads and the higher-end i7-1260P / 1270P, but the cache is reduced from 18MB to 12MB, and the frequency is lower, so the performance will be greatly affected.
In contrast, the 11th generation Core i5-1155G7, which belongs to Tiger Lake-U15, has only 4 cores and 8 threads, the cache is only 8MB, and the TDP range is 12W to 28W, which is a huge gap with the next generation Of Core i5-1240P from the specifications.
First of all, the Cinebench R20, the i5-1240P thanks to the new Golden Cove microarchitecture, which improves single-core performance by 12% compared to the previous model. With the blessing of an additional 8 small cores, the multi-core performance of the i5-1240P has soared by 73%, reflecting the crushing effect of 16 threads on the 8-thread processor.
Then there's the nuclear display. Both the i5-1155G7 and i5-1240P integrate the Sharp Torch Xe 80 core display, which has a slightly higher nuclear display frequency. In the case of the i5-1155G7 with dual-channel DDR4-3200 memory, and the i5-1240P with dual-channel LPDDR5-4800 memory, the latter improved the GPU sub-score of the 3DMark Timp Spy project by 25%.
In League of Legends (1080P + full effects), the game frame rate of the i5-1240P has increased by 64%, which shows that the gain of the same kernel display when paired with higher frequency memory is quite obvious.
However, the golden partner of the 11th generation Core nuclear display is actually the LPDDR4X-4267, which is not full of blood when paired with DDR4-3200 memory. According to the digital blogger @Golden Pig Upgrade Pack, the performance difference of ruiju X80 when paired with LPDDR4X-4267 and DDR5-4800 memory is actually very small.

The surprise of the 12th generation Core i5-1240P comes from practical applications, taking Pr for video editing and export testing as an example, a piece of 4K50 10-bit 4:2:2 footage is simply edited and effected after rendering, the i5-1240P rendering time is much shorter, and the export is faster.
Relatively speaking, the performance of the 12th-generation Core i5-1240P has reached our expectations, and the additional 8 small cores can theoretically help the new notebook to achieve greater advantages in terms of battery life.
