On battery, performance dropped from 2,820 (first run) and 1,925 (second run and beyond) to just 1,768 points. In other words: short-term burst performance is around 30 % faster than on its predecessor while long-term sustained performance is not. Starting with the third iteration the peak is recorded at a much lower 75-80 W which are then reduced very quickly to just 45 W. During the first two runs the CPU’s power consumption peaks at 111 W for a few seconds before it is reduced to 45 W.

This becomes very apparent when looking at the CPU’s TDP. Its integrated Intel Xe Graphics GPU features 96 EUs and runs at up to 1.4 GHz.ĭuring our 30-minute CineBench loop our i7-12700H started out at a level comparable to the MSI GE76 Raider’s Core i9-12900HK but then quickly dropped to a level more fitting to last gen’s i9-11900H. The Intel Core i7-12700H is a member of Intel’s current Alder Lake family and features a total of 14 cores (6 x P-cores, 8 x E-cores) for a total of 20 threads.
