The Alder Lake-H series includes three medium-performance Core i5 models, three powerful Core i7 chips and two extreme versions of the Core i9. It was the last mentioned category that was given the most space at the Las Vegas event.

Intel boasted that its new flagship notebook world would beat competition from both AMD and Apple. In some specific activities, the Core i9-12900HK processor should be even more than 40% more powerful than the best models from the competition.

However, it is necessary to add with one breath that the results of comparative tests come directly from Intel, real tests will be available only after the launch of new products. In addition, AMD also showed new chips at CES, which quite logically did not appear in comparison.

But that doesn’t change the fact that the flagship Core i9-12900HK is an uncompromising monster. It is a 14-core chip that has six extremely powerful cores and eight energy-efficient ones. This novelty can work at a frequency of 5 GHz. At the same time, it retains a solid TDP 45 W, which should have a positive effect on the durability of the notebook when working without a charger.

Among the chips from the Core i7 series, 10- and 14-core processors appear in the Alder Lake-H generation, clocked at 4.7 or 4.8 GHz in Turbo mode. The TDP remains the same as for the above-mentioned flagship. The Core i5 then includes 8- and 12-core chips clocked at 4.4 and 4.5 GHz, again with a TDP of 45 W.

The new chips will gradually appear in the offer of leading laptop manufacturers. The first machines with these chips should be available in the coming weeks.
