More tests result leaks for Intel Alder Lake chips appear to be filtering through. In previous weeks there has been evidence of early testing of these 12
th Gen Core desktop processors in apps such as Geekbench and SiSoft Sandra. Here again is a Geekbench (4) result, and this time a full 1T/nT test was run, and the base clock appears to be healthier than ever.
The latest Alder Lake test result, as reported by VideoCardz, seems to come from someone testing an upcoming 16C/24T desktop chip (Alder Lake-S) on a platform consisting of an Intel motherboard, with 32GB of DDR5 installed. This particular processor is thought to have 8x Golden Cove performance cores with Hyperthreading, and 8x Gracemont efficiency cores. The base frequency reported is 2.2GHz – a figure that appears to be creeping up over recent weeks/months. Obviously the max frequency of 27.2 GHz reported by Geekbench is an error and is perhaps 8x too fast due to the unfamiliarity of Alder Lake and its hybrid configuratio
