The unnamed Lenovo Gaming Laptop, equipped with a 16-core Core i9-12900hx processor, the coming Alder Lake-HX chip based on BGA table silicon, was tested on Geekbench. This processor will have more cores and threads than the current flagship, known as i9-12900HK, which offers a configuration with 14 nuclei and 20 threads.

The processor was seen with the base clock frequency of 2.5 GHz and overclocking up to 4.89 GHz, but it is likely that in the final form the processor will accelerate to 5.0 GHz. After all, these results are still considered preliminary.

The system is also equipped with a GEFORCE RTX 3080 TI laptop graphics processor, which is currently the fastest mobile graphics processor with the newest NVIDIA GA103 graphics processor.

As for performance, the processor is gaining 1921 points in the GEEKBENCH 5 single-core test, 1921 points in a single-core and 15974 points in multi-core. The I9-12900HK processor is not yet included in the official tables of Geekbench tests, so the average score is still unknown, but a quick look at the most recent results shows that I9-12900HK dials about 1800 and 14,000 points, respectively. Nevertheless, we expect (approximately) an increase in productivity by 7% and 14%.

At the moment, we only know about two components of ALDER Lake-HX: 12900HX and 12650HX, both of which should have a higher TDP (base power) 55 W. Processors based on 16-nuclear silicon Alder Lake for desktop PCs will also have a smaller number of XE-LP graphics processor cores (up to 32), but this should not be a problem, considering that they are intended for high-performance gaming systems.

Thus, i9-12900hx appears almost simultaneously with the I9-12900KS processor for desktop PCs, a pre-installed chip with an increased to 5.5 GHz clock frequency. It seems that Intel definitely wants to take the productivity crown in all areas.
