After a long period of anticipation, Intel officially launched their new ten-year “big move” for consumers in the early morning of October 28, 2021-the 12th-generation Core desktop processor.
Judging from the previous revelations, non-K series processors and B660/H670 motherboards for mainstream players will not be released until the CES conference early next year. The tipster @momomo_us also recently hinted that new products will be released in January next year. In addition, the 13th generation Core will be released in the third quarter of next year, using the new RaptorCove architecture.
Existing netizens exposed the physical photos of the four latest 12th-generation Core desktop processors. Judging from the real shots released by Zhihu@DDAA117, they include Core i9-12900, Core i5-12600, Core i5-12500, and Core i5. -12400 are all ready to go.
i9-12900 and i7-12700 will maintain the existing i9-12900K and i7-12700K 8P+8E 24T, 8P+4E 20T design, the L3 cache capacity is also the same 30/25MB, but the frequency of the former is 2.4GHz~5.1GHz, and the latter is 2.1GHz~4.9GHz, which is slightly weaker than the K version.
In addition, models below Core i5 may all use the new H0 chip, only 6 P cores do not have E cores, i5 series will include 12600/12500/12400 three models, L3 cache capacity is 18MB, the three are mainly There is a difference in frequency, but the i5-12400 is estimated to make an extra cut on the nuclear display.
It is worth mentioning that there are two models of i3 currently exposed. The cache capacity of i3-12300 is unknown, the highest core frequency is 4.4GHz, and the new entry-level model i3-12100 uses 12MB L3 cache, the highest core frequency is 4.3 GHz, for details.
- i9-12900/F: 8 large cores + 8 small cores, 2.4-5.1GHz, 30MB L3 cache
- i7-12700/F: 8 large cores + 4 small cores, 2.1-4.9GHz, 25MB L3 cache
- i5-12600: 6 large cores + 0 small cores, 3.3-4.8GHz, 18MB L3 cache
- i5-12500: 6 large cores + 0 small cores, 3.0-4.6GHz, 18MB L3 cache
- i5-12400/F: 6 large cores + 0 small cores, 2.5-4.4GHz, 18MB L3 cache
- i3-12300: 4 large cores + 0 small cores, ??-4.4GHz, ?? MB L3 cache
- i3-12100: 4 large cores + 0 small cores, 3.3-4.3GHz, 12MB L3 cache
Intel is expected to release new non-K series processors at CES in 2022, and B660 series motherboards will also be launched at the same time.
