Intel claims new 12th-gen laptop chips outclass the M1 Pro

Intel shows off 12th Gen Mobile processors for laptops.

Intel already announced its 12th-gen mobile processors at CES 2022, but we're just now hearing about the details of its efficient U- and P-series chips. Unlike the H-series, which is built for high-performance machines like the MSI Raider GE76, these new processors are built for thin and light notebooks and 2-in-1s.

We've known about these chips, including detailed official specs, for a while. But Intel is just now giving us a taste of performance. Intel says the most efficient U-series chips can rival Apple's M1, while the juiced up P-series processors can outclass the M1 Pro. Compared to last-gen's Core i7-1195G7, Intel says the new chips offer up to 70% higher multi-threaded performance.

Intel’s Alder Lake H-series laptop chips take on Apple M1 Max with vengeance

A render of Intel's 12th-gen mobile processor.

Intel is expanding its 12th-gen Alder Lake platform to mobile. The company announced eight new mobile chips being shown off in laptops at CES 2022, as well as a swath of low-power mobile processors arriving within the first few months of the year.

The chips in question come from the 45-watt H-series. These enthusiast chips have the highest power budget out of any of Intel's mobile options, making them ideal for gaming laptops like the Alienware X14 and creator devices from Asus, Acer, Lenovo, HP, and more.
