Intel Core i9-12900H

The Intel Core i9-12900H was introduced in January 2022, is based on the Alder Lake P architecture and is manufactured using the 10 nm process. The Alder Lake architecture is characterized by performance and efficiency cores. As the performance cores only work under high load, the efficiency cores can be used to reduce energy consumption.

Powerful CPU
The Intel Core i9-12900H offers 14 physical cores and 20 virtual cores (threads). The six performance cores can reach between 2.5 and 5 GHz. The eight efficiency cores can reach between 1.8 and 3.8 GHz. As a result, the Intel Core i9-12900H achieves 13% more performance in gaming applications and 30% faster rendering times than the Intel Core i9-11950H.

RAM speeds of up to 5200 MHz are supported. There is also full support for Intel V-Pro. The TDP is 45 watts and is therefore within the normal range of a high-end processor.

Integrated graphics card
The integrated graphics card is the Intel Iris Xe Graphics G7 96 EUs. This is suitable for everyday tasks such as office work, writing emails, surfing the web and watching videos. Older and less demanding games, such as League of Legends, are also possible.

The i9-12900H is used for gaming and workstations and is only used with high-end graphics cards such as the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti, which is the best graphics card for mobile gaming on the market and has ray tracing, DLSS and Vulkan functions. This allows all current games to be played smoothly in 4K. 3D rendering and CAD programs are also no problem.

This combination can be found in the MSI GS66 Stealth 12UHS-286, among others. In addition, 2 TB SSD memory and 64 GB DDR5-4800MHz RAM have been installed. With a 4K display with a refresh rate of 240Hz and a 100 Wh battery, this laptop leaves nothing to be desired and is at the absolute high-end level.

The Intel Core i9-12900H is the most powerful processor Intel has in the current Alder Lake P series and offers everything you need in terms of performance and functions for gaming and intensive work. So you are very well equipped for the coming years.
