The Intel Core i7-12650HX is a mobile processor featuring 14 cores, which was introduced in May 2022. It belongs to the Core i7 series and is built on the Alder Lake-HX architecture with a BGA 1964 package. This processor supports Intel Hyper-Threading technology, effectively doubling the core count of the Performance Cores to achieve a total of 20 threads. The Core i7-12650HX is equipped with 24 MB of L3 cache and operates at a base frequency of 2000 MHz, with the capability to boost up to 4.7 GHz, contingent upon the workload. Manufactured on a 10 nm production node, the transistor count for the Core i7-12650HX remains unspecified. Additionally, the unlocked multiplier allows for easy adjustments, facilitating the overclocking process by enabling users to set their desired overclocking frequency with ease.
The Core i7-12650HX operates with a thermal design power (TDP) of 55 W, which aligns with the standard power consumption expected from contemporary personal computers. This Intel processor is compatible with both DDR4 and DDR5 memory, utilizing a dual-channel architecture. For interfacing with other system components, the Core i7-12650HX employs a PCI-Express Gen 5 connection. Additionally, it is equipped with the UHD Graphics 770 integrated graphics solution.
The Core i7-12650HX features hardware virtualization, significantly enhancing the performance of virtual machines. Furthermore, it supports IOMMU virtualization (PCI passthrough), allowing guest virtual machines to directly access host hardware. This processor is capable of executing programs that utilize Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX), thereby improving performance for applications that require intensive calculations. In addition to AVX, Intel has also incorporated the more recent AVX2 standard; however, AVX-512 is not included.
