As usual, shortly before processors and graphics are released, some benchmarks of them appear, and today the delIntel Core i5-1250P Alder Lake has been reported, designed for ultra-thin laptops. According to Geekbench 5 expert @Benchleaks, a new Alder Lake mobile chip has appeared in said benchmark results.
According to the results, the Core i5-1250P which has 12 cores and 16 threads. Despite being optimized for power efficiency, this processor achieved a single-threaded score similar to AMD's Ryzen 7 5800X for desktops.
The laptop Core i5-1250P rivals an AMD desktop
Intel's Alder Lake mobile CPUs will feature up to 14 cores, comprised of six performance cores and eight efficiency cores. The H-series chips, such as the Core i7-12700H, are geared towards high-performance notebooks with high TDP and high core clock speeds. The P-series ones, like the Core i5-1250P like the one featured in today's benchmark, focus on energy efficiency, with lower core clocks and presumably lower TDP.
The Core i5-1250P has 12 cores, 16 threads, and 18MB of L3 cache. By According to leaked benchmarks, on Geekbench 5, the Core i5-1250P scored a single-threaded score of 1.611 points and a multi-threaded score of 8.789. For reference, a standard AMD Ryzen 7 5800X CPU gets a single-threaded score of 1.672 points, which is 6,8% higher than the Core i5-1250P. It goes without saying that Intel's CPU is intended for laptops and AMD's is for desktop, so a portable CPU is close to equating itself to a desktop one.
The Core i5-1250P loses a lot of score and efficiency in multithreading, compared to 10.347 for the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X. The idea of having a much more favorable score is due to the fact that as it is thought as a laptop, possibly office automation, it will have an efficiency for simple tasks and very little high-demand multitasking.
