Before CES 2022

Details on Chipzilla's Alder Lake mobile series processors have been leaked before they were shown off at next year's CES.

The details were found in the Geekbench database BenchLeaks, and include information on SKUs from both the H-series and an new P-series. Some of the benchmarks make no sense with the max clock speed unfeasibly high a Core i5-12450H is not going to max out at 26.0GHz even in the most ardent Intel fanboy's head. This is probably due to the use of Intel's big.LITTLE architecture which causes the benchmarks to bork.

However, the core and thread count, L3 Cache figures aren't performance metrics but are instead info provided by the processor itself, so there's no reason to doubt their validity.

Base clock speeds listed are in are about what we expected although. The scores given to each chip by Geekbench 5 are wildly inconsistent, with the Core i7-12700H scoring nearly twice what the i9-12900HK does in multi-core performance, and with the Core i7-1260P scoring higher in single-core performance than the Core i7-12800H, despite having just over half the TDP of an H-series chip.

The max clock speeds on the P-series in our breakdown since they look much more in line with expectations, but they shouldn't be taken as the final word as to the chips max frequency. The H-series chips were way off nearly across the board, so we only include the listed base clock speeds.
