Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The Intel Core i7-1270P is a mobile processor, it comes with 12 cores and 16 threads and is based on the 12th generation of the Intel Core i7 series. It uses the motherboard socket BGA 1744 and the processor was released in the first quarter of 2022.

The processor architecture is hybrid, which means it is based on the big.LITTLE concept. 4 Golden Cove cores (A-Core) with a clock frequency of 2.20 GHz (4.50 GHz multi-core) and 8 Gracemont cores (B-Core) with a clock frequency of 1.60 GHz (3.50 GHz multi-core). The processor supports Hyperthreading/SMT, but cannot be overclocked.

The Intel Core processor has the Intel Iris Xe Graphics 96 (Alder Lake) integrated. The graphics clock frequency of the integrated graphics is 0.40 GHz and reaches 1.40 GHz in turbo mode. The processor has 96 execution units, works with 768 shaders and can work with a maximum of 4 screens. The maximum GPU memory is 32 GB, and the iGPU also supports DirectX 12.1.

The Intel Core i7-1270P can decode/encode h265/HEVC (8bit), h265/HEVC (10bit), h264, VP9, AVC and JPEG and decode VP8, AV1 and VC-1. The processor supports DDR4-3200, DDR5-4800, LPDDR4X-4266 and LPDDR5-5200 memory types. A maximum of 64 GB of RAM can be used and the processor has 2 memory channels (dual channel). PCIe is integrated in the 4th generation with 28 PCI Express lanes. The TDP (Thermal Design Power) is between 28 watts (PL1) and 64 watts (PL2). The maximum supported temperature is 100°C.

The chip design for this processor is monolithic, it has a 9.00 MB L2 cache and an 18.00 MB L3 cache. The processor architecture is based on Alder Lake U. It is compatible with Windows 10 and 11, as well as Linux.

In the Geekbench 5 (64-bit, single-core) test, the Intel Core i7-1270P achieved a total of 1,587 points and in the Geekbench 5 (64-bit, multi-core) test 9,260 points.
  • Hybrid Alder Lake U architecture
  • Integrated Intel Iris Xe Graphics 96
  • Generous L2 and L3 cache
