As rumours about Intel’s upcoming 12th generation Alder Lake CPU lineup begin to pick up the pace, it looks like the chipmaker may be off to a rocky start with the performance of one of its CPUs. More specifically, its Alder Lake-P lineup for mobile devices.
Prominent leakster APISAK (@TUM_APISAK), recently posted a tweet about an alleged Alder Lake-P CPU labeled as “HP 89C0” and “HP 896D” on Geekbench 5 and UserBenchmark. Based on those codes, the first is said to be a test platform, while the latter may be in reference to one of HP’s Elitebook laptops.
Moving on, the Alder Lake-P CPUs listed on Geekbench 5 lists the processor as having 14-cores, 20-threads, and is flanked by 24MB of L3 cache and 16GB DDR5-4800 SO-DIMM RAM. If the uneven pairing of cores and threads are anything to go by, it is also likely that the CPU could be using the same Golden Cove and Gracemont combination as its desktop counterparts.

Performance-wise, the Alder Lake-P CPU seems to have a multi-core score of 6831, while its single-core score is 1258, putting squarely behind AMD’s current Ryzen 7 5800H’s multi-core and single-core scores of 7063 and 1338 points, respectively. To put it in another way, that’s approximately 6% faster in single-threaded and 3% for multi-threaded performances.
As for the second Alder Lake-P CPU, that CPU was listed on UserBenchmark and was paired with a single 8GB DDR5-4800 SO-DIMM RAM stick and scored 160 points in the single-core test and 773 points in the octa-core benchmark. Again, that performance falls slightly behind the Ryzen7 5800H in the same benchmark, which scored 133 points and 898 points in their respective benchmarks.

Again, these were alleged performances of Intel’s Alder Lake-P CPUs and not its Alder Lake-S desktop variants. However, seeing how the chipmaker is expected to launch the lineup later this year and with early samples already being sold in China, it’s not wrong to say that we could see some performance details of the desktop variants cropping up, sooner rather than later.
