Recently, many people have asked the reviewer what they think of the i5-1240P processor, and the corresponding notebook. In fact, it can be seen from the trend that from 2021, 15W low-voltage processors have become less popular, and i5-13200H and so on have begun to be welcomed. This year, the i5-1240P has improved a lot compared with the previous generation, which is more worth choosing.
The i5-1240P processor has 4 performance cores, 8 performance cores, a total of 12 cores, 16 threads. 12MB L3 cache with a maximum frequency of 4.4GHz. Ruiju Xe integrated graphics card has 80EU and a frequency of up to 1.3GHz. The CPU base power is 28W, the maximum power is 64W, and the multi-threading performance can be improved by up to 70%.
At present, Master Lu has published its results, the CPU score is 465,000 points, 7,000 points lower than the 45W quad-core processor i5-12450H, significantly higher than the previous generation i7-11370H 420,000, but also higher than the i5-11320H 400,000, the results are fierce.
