Intel has announced the release of seven new mobile processors to the 12th Gen Intel Core mobile family. The 12th gen Intel core HX processors are designed to provide high-level performance to the mobile workstation platforms. The HX processors are available in the existing configuration of Core i5, Core i7, and Core i9 models. The desktop-caliber mobile processors have up to 16 cores which include 8 performance cores ad 8 efficient cores with 24 threads running at a base power of 55W, it is suitable for power-intensive tasks such as gaming and professional workflows such as visual effects, CAD, video rendering, etc. [1]

Figure 1 shows “with the brand new core structure and better energy limits of 12th Gen Intel Core HX processors, we’re enabling content material creators to deal with probably the most demanding workflows like by no means earlier than – for instance, executing 3D renders within the background whereas persevering with to iterate on different 3D property within the scene. No extra ready round for processor-intensive workloads to complete, you’ll be able to keep within the movement. Players and content material creators may also have entry to excessive bandwidth platform applied sciences like PCIe Gen 5 with RAID help, and help for ECC reminiscence to make sure excessive ranges of system knowledge integrity and reliability.” Says Chris Walker, Intel company vp, and basic supervisor of Mobility Shopper Platforms.

The Intel HX processors also support the Dynamic RAM Boost feature, an updated Intel Speed Optimizer, and Intel’s Extreme Tuning Utility. It also provides a much more stable performance of apps like AutoCAD, Revit, and more. OEMs such as Dell, HP, Lenovo, and more are soon expected to introduce their workstations with the new Intel 12th Gen Core HX processors. [3]

The 12th Gen Intel Core HX processor family delivers real-world productivity, collaboration, content creation, gaming and entertainment in innovative mobile designs:

  • Up to 16 cores (8 Performance-cores and 8 Efficient-cores) and 24 threads running at a processor base power of 55W.
  • Access to x16 PCIe Gen 5.0 via the processor and 4×4 PCIe Gen 4.0 from a dedicated platform controller hub (PCH) for increased bandwidth and faster data transfers.
  • An industry-first unlocked and overclockable series of mobile processors.
  • Memory support for up to 128GBs of DDR5/LPDDR5 (up to 4800MHz/5200MHz) and DDR4 (up to 3200MHz/LPDDR4 4267MHz) with Error Correcting Code (ECC) capability. [4]
