[hardware] Intel Core i9-12900K Alder Lake CPU Gets Pictured In High-Res, Hybrid SKUs To Feature New Hardware Guided Scheduling

[#Hassan.]

The latest high-resolution pictures of the Intel Core i9-12900K Alder Lake flagship CPU have been leaked by Yuuki_AnS. The leaker has obtained the latest engineering sample of the chip that was being sold over in the Chinese black market for a starting price of $700 US.Intel's Core i9-12900K Alder Lake Flagship CPU Gets High-Res Photos, New Hardware Guided Scheduling OnboardThe pictures give us a bit better glimpse of the Intel Core i9-12900K CPU which is the flagship within the Alder Lake 12th Gen Core lineup and also its 1700 contact pads which will make it compatible with LGA 1700 motherboards. The specific CPU sample is the 'QX7H' variant & falls within the 'ES2' spec. The side profile pictures show that the PCB on the chip is quite thick and will feature a more rectangular design compared to the square Intel chips we have seen over a decade now.

Aside from the pictures, we managed to get hold of a new slide for the Intel Alder Lake CPUs where the company outlined its brand new HGS+ (Hardware Guided Scheduling+) feature. Intel states that its new core architecture with HGS+ prioritizes and manages the distribution of workloads sending tasks to the best thread for the job, thereby optimizing performance per watt. This feature will be enabled by default (on select SKUs) and no user action is required to activate this technology. The HGS+ feature is a combination of hardware support in the processor and software optimizations in the latest Windows (11) operating system.

This technology shouldn't be confused with Intel's Thread Director as that's another feature set for the Intel Alder Lake CPUs but both Thread Director and HGS+ will work in tandem to optimize the performance of hybrid CPUs like Intel's 12th Gen processor on Windows 11. You can learn about Intel's new HGS technology in detail in this article published by UnderFox over at Coreteks.

t is likely that the new HGS+ scheduler only works on Intel Alder Lake 12th Gen CPUs with hybrid core technology. We know certain SKUs will only feature Golden Cove cores so there won't be that much of a use for HGS+ on those chips.

Intel Core i9-12900K 16 Core / 24 Thread Desktop CPUThe Intel Core i9-12900K will be the flagship chip in the 12th Gen Alder Lake Desktop CPU lineup. It will feature 8 Golden Cove cores and 8 Gracemont cores for a total of 16 cores (8+8) and 24 threads (16+8). The P-cores (Golden Cove) will operate at a maximum boost frequency of up to 5.3 GHz with 1-2 active cores and 5.0 GHz with all-cores active while the E-cores (Gracemont) will operate at 3.90 GHz across 1-4 cores and up to 3.7 GHz when all cores are loaded.The CPU will feature 30 MB of L3 cache and TDP values are maintained at 125W (PL1) and 228W (PL2). The 'K' variant is expected to retail at $599 US while the Non-K variant will retail at $509 US.Intel's Alder Lake Desktop CPUs will feature both DDR5 and DDR4 memory controllers and 600-series motherboards will also come with DDR5/DDR4 specific options. High-end motherboards will retain DDR5 while the more mainstream offerings will open up DDR4 support too. The Intel Alder Lake CPU lineup is expected to launch in November along with the respective Z690 platform and DDR5 memory kits.Share Tweet SubmitStay in the loopGET A DAILY DIGEST OF LATEST TECHNOLOGY NEWSStraight to your inboxSubscribe to our newsletterRelatedasus-rog-maximus-z690-extreme-motherboardIntel Core i9-12900 Alder Lake CPU Tested on ASUS’s Flagship ROG Maximus Z690 Extreme MotherboardHassan Mujtaba  •  Sep 29485    10intel-alder-lake-s-desktop-cpu-2Intel Core i9-12900K Flagship Shown Crushing The AMD Ryzen 9 5950X In CPU-Z Single-Thread BenchmarkHassan Mujtaba  •  Sep 261580    10intel-alder-lake-s-desktop-cpu-2Intel Core i9-12900K Alder Lake CPU Benchmark Leaks Out, Allegedly Faster Than AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX 32 Core Chip In CinebenchHassan Mujtaba  •  Sep 22599    10intel-core-i9-12900k-alder-lake-desktop-cpuIntel Core i9-12900K Alder Lake Desktop CPU Appears In Ashes of The Singularity Benchmark, Faster Than AMD Ryzen 9 5950XHassan Mujtaba  •  Sep 21482    10intel-alder-lake-s-desktop-cpu-official-_4Intel 12th Gen Alder Lake 35W Desktop CPU Lineup Leaks Out – Core i9 With 16, Core i7 With 12, Core i5 With 6 & Core i3 With 4 CoresHassan Mujtaba  •  Sep 17875    10Trending StoriesJeff Bezos Praises Amazon Games for Its First Success with New WorldThe Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask Gets Brand New HD Texture PackIntel ARC Alchemist Reference Gaming Graphics Card Pictured In Latest Renders – Dual Slot & Dual Fan Design With Sleek Silver FinishIntel Core i9-12900K Alder Lake CPU Gets Pictured In High-Res, Hybrid SKUs To Feature New Hardware Guided SchedulingSamsung Reportedly Close to Finalizing Its $17 Billion Chip Plant in Texas in an Effort to Catch up to TSMCPo[CENSORED]r DiscussionsAMD CEO, Lisa Su, Expects Chip Shortages To Continue In First Half of 2022, Easing Down in Second Half2419Intel Core i9-12900K Spotted Running on Z690 AORUS Tachyon Motherboard & DDR5-8000 Memory1889Intel Core i9-12900K Flagship Shown Crushing The AMD Ryzen 9 5950X In CPU-Z Single-Thread Benchmark1556Sapphire Radeon RX 6600 PULSE (Non-XT) Pictured & Listed Online, Will Feature 8 GB Memory & Early Pricing of 589 Euros1440AMD Plans To Boost AI & HPC Energy Efficiency Up To 30 Times By 20251350Wccftech StoreIPVanish VPN 2-Yr Subscription Is Up For A Massive 70% Discount Offer For A Few DaysBlack YLR/C S32T HD 4K Single Camera Drone Is Up For A Massive 75% Discount Offer This WeekInnodude Gaming Wireless Earphones Can Be Yours For Just $43.99 – Avail Discount Now(ISC)2 CISSP – 2021 Course Can Be Yours For Just $29 If You Avail This Offer Right AwayHotSpot Shield VPN Premium 3-Yr Subscription Is Up For An 80% Discount Offer
