Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The Intel Core i5-12600H is a remarkable processor, specifically designed for notebooks. It is based on the Alder Lake H architecture, which utilizes a very clever mix of performance and efficiency cores. This enables truly versatile performance. The chip impresses in both demanding applications and everyday use.

We often see this processor in laptops, where it forms an extremely solid base. The 10-nanometer manufacturing process contributes significantly to its good energy efficiency. In addition, an integrated Intel Iris Xe Graphics 80 is present. This graphics unit provides sufficient performance for all everyday tasks.

It is also ideally suited for smooth media playback and even for the occasional lighter game. The generous 9 MB L2 cache and 18 MB L3 cache significantly support fast data processing. This ensures a responsive system. With a maximum memory bandwidth of 83 GB/s, data transfer is rapid. Even today, the Intel Core i5-12600H is an extremely reliable choice.

Its balanced overall performance is more than sufficient for many users. It remains an excellent solution for smooth working in the mobile segment. We are always pleased with how well it still performs.
  • Alder Lake H architecture with hybrid cores
  • Integrated Intel Iris Xe Graphics 80
  • Efficient 10 nm manufacturing
