Intel has been quietly working on the world’s first 16-core processor for laptops. The flagship Core i9-12900HX mobility CPU will rank among the world’s fastest laptop chips and it has just made an appearance at the Geekbench database with its first benchmarks.
According to Geekbench, the upcoming Core i9-12900HX will have 16 cores based on an 8 + 8 configuration. It will debut with Lenovo’s 82TD laptop, which should be a powerhouse when it comes to gaming, rendering, and other taxing tasks.
AMD already has 16 core processors for laptops, but those are based on desktop parts rather than mobile chips.
