Non-Okay Intel Alder Lake CPU specs confirmed by Asus and Colourful

Briefly: Intel is anticipated to disclose the non-Okay variations of Alder Lake (Twelfth-gen Core) at CES on Tuesday, however Asus and Colourful have confirmed a few of their specs prematurely. Some fashions are a bit disappointing, whereas others are compelling choices for the non-overclockers on the market.

It’s not unusual for motherboard distributors to incorporate unreleased processors of their lists of supported {hardware}, which is what’s happened here.

Within the tables under, we’ve got core counts, base clocks, and TDPs from Asus and Colourful, and the increase clocks from leaked marketing materials and prematurely published product pages. Not included within the tables are the leaked costs from Finest Purchase, however you’ll be able to look at those here.

	i9-12900/F*	i9-12900T	i7-12700/F	i7-12700T
P-Cores	8/16		8/16
E-Cores	8/8		4/4
Increase Clock	5.1 GHz	?	4.9 GHz	?
Base Clock	2.4 GHz	1.4 GHz	2.1 GHz	1.4 GHz
TDP	65 W	35 W	65 W	35 W

*There are each vanilla and “F” variations of this processor they usually share their specs.

In line with Asus, Alder Lake makes use of two steppings: C-0 and H-0. Each the i9 and i7 households use the C-0 stepping, which has eight efficiency and eight effectivity cores. The H-0 stepping has six efficiency cores and no effectivity cores.

	i5-12600	i5-12600T	i5-12500	i5-12500T	i5-12400/F	i5-12400T
P-Cores	6/12		6/12		6/12
Increase Clock	4.8 GHz	?	4.6 GHz	?	4.4 GHz	?
Base Clock	3.3 GHz	2.1 GHz	3.0 GHz	2.0 GHz	2.5 GHz	1.8 GHz
TDP	65 W	35 W	65 W	35 W	65 W	35 W

Intel separates the 2 steppings on the junction between the 12600K, which makes use of the C-0 stepping, and the 12600 (non-Okay), which makes use of the H-0 stepping. Due to this, the 12600K has 4 effectivity cores that the non-Okay doesn’t have.

The entire non-Okay i5 and i3 processors use the H-0 stepping.

	i3-12300	i3-12300T	i3-12100/F	i3-12100T
P-Cores	4/8		4/8
Increase Clock	?	?	4.3 GHz	?
Base Clock	3.5GHz	2.3 GHz	3.3 GHz	2.2 GHz
TDP	60 W	35 W	60/58* W	35 W

*That is the one “F” processor to have a decrease TDP than its vanilla counterpart.

It’d’ve made sense for entry-level components to make use of effectivity cores. However, as a result of the H-0 stepping has none, they’re caught with hungry efficiency cores.

Intel will announce these processors in a number of days, and we’ll be benchmarking them and drawing conclusions quickly. However within the current, they appear like a worthy addition to the Alder Lake technology, which is all that we are able to ask for.
