Refine the parts you may be interested in:
Intel replaced the previous TDP with a more referential "basic power consumption and the highest frequency power consumption". For example, the power consumption of the i9-12900HK (50 * 20mm package size) on the top of the mobile terminal ranges from 45W to 115W, while that of the U series is 9W to 29W, and that of the P series is 28W to 64W;
With the Intel 7 process and the "Performance Core+Energy Efficiency Core" architecture, Intel is also very confident in its energy efficiency ratio. We are still impressed by the previous figure of energy consumption ratio with M1 Max. At the communication meeting, Intel even said, "Don't be confused by Apple's energy efficiency ratio";
The game "Killer 3" with the largest increase is the result of in-depth cooperation between Intel and game manufacturers. It means that the performance core can process rendering in a centralized way, and the physical operation, animation prediction, music and other tasks that can be processed asynchronously and are not directly related to the increase of game frames can be handed over to the energy efficiency core, which has reached an increase of 8%;
Intel also said that the optimization of the "performance core+energy efficiency core" architecture is still in progress, and the advantages of performance and endurance will be slowly released later;
In addition, there are also wireless optimization for games, such as 5G in dual band Wi Fi for games, 2.4G for music, download and other low demand tasks.

The new Intel Core i9-12900HK processor improves the system performance on single threaded and multi-threaded applications by using Intel Hardware Thread Scheduler to intelligently sort, manage and allocate the workload of the Performance Core (P-Core) and Energy Efficiency Core (E-Core).
The new 12th generation Core H series processor based on Intel 7 process provides:
The highest frequency reaches 5 GHz, and 14 cores (6 performance cores and 8 energy efficiency cores) and 20 threads are provided at most, making the 12th generation Intel Core i9-12900HK a mobile processor with outstanding performance, which is superior to the previous generation Intel products.
High performance brings an extraordinary experience to games and content creation tools. The new 12th generation Intel Core high-performance mobile processor H series is a global mobile game platform with outstanding performance. Compared with the previous leader in the game notebook market, Core i9-11980HK, the game speed has increased by 28%; For the support of content creation, the 12th generation Intel Core H series is more excellent. For example, the performance of 3D rendering is up to 43% higher than that of the previous generation.
It widely supports DDR5/LPDDR5 and DDR4/LPDDR4 memory modules with a speed of up to 4800 MT/s, which is an industry precedent for the H series of high-performance mobile processors.
Without interference from traditional Wi Fi channels, the connection speed on dedicated high-speed channels has increased nearly three times. By integrating Intel Wi Fi 6E (Gig+) 6, users can work and learn freely at home, and relax by watching smooth, high-quality streaming media.
It supports Thunderbolt 4, with transmission speed up to 40Gbps, and enables PC to connect 4K monitors and accessories.
The new 12th generation Intel Core high-performance mobile processor H series is designed for gamers, creators and engineering professionals who want to further improve the performance of their laptops. The system equipped with these processors will be available for sale from February 2022.
