Intel’s 12th gen Alder Lake CPUs Specs and Price in Nepal

Intel was one of the most active companies at CES 2021, announcing no fewer than four new families of processors. Among them was 12th-gen desktop chips, codenamed ‘Alder Lake’.

More than nine months later, the first six Alder Lake CPUs finally launched at Intel’s Innovation event. They’re now available to buy, although you’ll be waiting a bit longer for a successor to Tiger Lake in laptops. Here’s everything you need to know about the next generation of Intel silicon.

Intel Unveils 12th Gen Intel Core, Launches World’s Best Gaming Processor, i9-12900K

When was Intel Alder Lake released? What’s still to come?

Intel began teasing details of its 12th-gen chips at CES in January 2021 and revealed lots more at its Architecture Day in July. But it wasn’t until the company’s Innovation Event on 27 October that any CPUs actually launched.

This first batch of desktop processors (known as Alder Lake-S) is now available to buy, having been released on 4 November.

However, it’s not clear how long we’ll be waiting for the chips that are integrated into laptops and other mobile devices. We’re also expecting Alder Lake-P for laptops and Alder Lake-M for other mobile devices, and Intel mentioned both during the launch event.

There’s no timeframe on their release yet, though – there’s a chance it’ll be CES 2022 in January, but that’s only speculation at this stage. Either way, a successor to Tiger Lake is overdue.

A total of 60 new CPUs are expected over the next few months, so a gradual rollout is to be expected.

Intel 12th Gen “Alder Lake” Key Improvements

The combination of Intel’s new performance hybrid architecture and new Intel 7 process technology delivers improved single-threaded and multi-threaded performance to enable:

The World’s Best Gaming Processor

Available with up to 16 cores and 24 threads, the new 12th Gen Intel Core processor family includes the world’s best gaming processor, the Core i9-12900K, unleashing gaming experiences across top titles. The Core i9-12900K provides amazing gen-over-gen performance increases, including up to 25% more FPS on Troy: A Total War Saga, up to 28% more FPS on Hitman 3, and up to 23% more FPS on Far Cry 63. Enhanced by Intel® Killer™ Wi-Fi 6E for up to 75% less latency while gaming when multitasking4, high-frequency P-cores paired with E-cores for offloading parallel tasks enable up to 84% more frames per second for simultaneous gaming, streaming, and recording.

A Leap in Content Creation Performance

Advancements in multi-threaded performance, the responsive performance of the P-cores and the ability to move data at incredible speeds with DDR5 enable leadership across all types of content creation experiences, including:

  • Up to 36% faster photo editing performance6
    • Up to 32% faster video editing performance7
    • Up to 37% faster 3D modeling performance8
    • Up to 100% faster multi-frame rendering9
  • The Best Overclocking Experience10: The new processors offer industry-leading overclocking tools for the ultimate performance customization, including the ability to overclock Efficient-cores and DDR5 memory. Enthusiasts and gamers can try these new platform overclocking features as part of the latest Intel® Extreme Tuning Utility (XTU) 7.5. Starting with the Core i9-12900K, XTU will also support one-click overclocking with Intel Speed Optimizer for unlocked 12th Gen processors. Further, Intel introduced the latest Intel® Extreme Memory Profile (XMP) 3.0 with support for DDR5, offering additional profiles, including new rewriteable custom profiles and flexible tuning for memory overclocking.
