New performance results for Intel's upcoming Alder Lake Core i7-12700H mobile processor.
Intel lists three turbo boost frequencies for this CPU on its ARK website. The first is the Efficient Core Maximum Turbo Frequency peaking at 3.5GHz, and the second is the 4.7GHz Performance-Core Max Turbo Frequency. Finally, the Turbo Boost Max 3.0 Frequency is also rated at 4.7GHz. These are effectively the PL1 and PL2 Turbo specifications.
The power draw is rated at a minimum of 35W, a base power of 45W, and a maximum turbo power of 115W. These are the minimum and maximum power limits OEMs are allowed to use in their laptop designs, so don't expect every 12700H to run at a peak of 115W.
