Here are the details of Intel's new chip and how its flagship mobile chip can compete with Apple's M1 max < p > Intel specification < / P > < p > the 12th generation alder Lake CPU is Intel's first notebook computer chip using hybrid architecture, which combines high-performance kernel and efficient kernel based on the company's atom chip < p > it is reported that all new Intel chips are based on the company's "Intel 7" manufacturing process, which is actually equivalent to a 10 nm process. Intel says its transistor density is similar to the 7-nm process, and anyway, this is the first time Intel has abandoned the 14 nm process in six years < p > in addition to the hybrid kernel design similar to apple, Intel's new chip also supports up to four thunderbolt 4 ports, 96 sets of EU Intel graphics cards, memory supporting ddr5, lpddr5, DDR4 and lpddr4x, Wi Fi 6e and PCIe 4.0 < p > Intel did not announce the full product lineup of its alder Lake series chips on CES 2022, but demonstrated its most powerful 45W H series chips. The company also plans to release 9W U-series chips and 28W P-Series chips later this year < p > before the release of H-series chips, Intel released the alder Lake desktop CPU in 2021, which also consumes less power, but this is not important in desktop computers. The new statement on CES may indicate that Intel is preparing to regain its crown in the field of mobile processors < p > compared with apple M1 < / P > < p > Intel flagship core i9-12900hk is a 14 core chip with 6 high-performance cores and 8 efficient cores. According to the official introduction, compared with its predecessor, the game performance has been improved by 28% and the content creation performance has been improved by 44%. The company also said that the 5.0 GHz chip can surpass AMD ryzen 5900hx and Apple's M1 max < p > for Intel's own benchmark, there are still some points to pay attention to. First, the power consumption of the core i9-12900hk exceeds 35 watts, which is higher than that of Apple's M1 max, which has a much lower power (about 20 watts). If Intel's own data is accurate, the core i9-12900hk needs twice the power to provide 50% higher performance than the M1 max < p > this means that when it comes to energy efficiency, core i9-12900hk is difficult to beat apple chips. In mobile settings, power consumption is a key indicator. For laptop users, high power consumption may affect performance, including heat dissipation and greater fan noise < p > due to the regulations of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), there are specific requirements for the volume of laptop battery, so using a larger internal battery is not a better choice. Moreover, using a separate GPU will consume more power than Intel's own estimate and require more heat dissipation devices < p > Intel stated that it had conducted some productivity tests on these platforms before applications such as Adobe Premiere Pro were optimized for Apple silicon. At that time, the performance of M1 Max was not much different from the core i9-12900hk in Premiere Pro < p > all these show that Intel's chips are powerful enough, but they are not necessarily M1 killers, especially if energy efficiency is taken into account < p > what impact does it have on Apple < / P > < p > although Intel's goal in this regard is obviously to replace Apple by making better chips than "Cupertino's lifestyle company", alder Lake chips are unlikely to become M1 killers in the end < p > first of all, competition is good for the market and even the whole industry. Apple has adopted Apple silicon on the Mac because Intel doesn't provide it with the chip it wants. The A-Series processor derived from Apple silicon was also developed under the pressure of Qualcomm < p > if there is no hardware challenger, there will be no progress. In the face of competitors, apple and Intel must continue to innovate. However, Intel has not threatened Apple's chip dominance for many years < p > of course, Intel chips cannot be actually tested at present. All chip manufacturers, including apple, will select benchmarks and specifications that are conducive to their release in such announcements. Before the new alder Lake chips really debut in consumer products, it is difficult to say whether they meet Intel's requirements or how they perform in the real world < p > it is clear that Apple's MAC products will no longer rely on Intel based chips. Although better Intel chips and their competition with AMD will have an impact on windows or Linux users, those who are deeply integrated into the apple ecosystem or rely on Mac OS will not be really affected < p > in other words, the new alder Lake chip is a step towards Intel becoming competitive again, but it will not have an impact on Apple silicon. In general, both companies will be better for each other. (small) < / P > < p >
