ASUS's Next-Gen VivoBook With Intel Alder Lake-P 8 Core CPU Spotted

ASUS'south next-generation VivoBook has been spotted with an eight core Intel Alder Lake-P Mobility CPU in the UserBenchmark database.

ASUS Readies Side by side-Gen VivoBook Laptop With An 8 Core Alder Lake-P Mobility CPU & Up To 16 GB DDR4 Memory

Three entries of the ASUS VivoBook X1603ZA laptop were made inside UserBenchmark & all three are based on the same Alder Lake-P Mobility CPU configuration. Compared to current-gen models, ASUS seems to be giving a nice heave to the overall laptop with a 16" configuration that's currently not bachelor.

Coming to the specifications, the CPU is an Intel Alder Lake-P which features 8 cores & 12 threads. From what we know, this is based on 4 Golden Cove (8 Thread) and 4 Gracemont cores (4 Thread). The ASUS VivoBook seems to exist an early on prototype every bit its clock speeds are reported at a beggarly 1 GHz base clock and an average boost speed of up to 2.6 GHz. Even in an early state, the CPU gives out some impressive performance numbers compared to the Core i7-1185G7 within the same CPU benchmark.

The Intel Alder Lake-P CPU scores 153 points in single-cadre and 739 points in multi-cadre tests while the Tiger Lake-based Core i7-1185G7 scores 159 points in single-core and 582 points in multi-cadre tests. For comparing, the Tiger Lake chip has a huge advantage in clock speeds with a iii GHz base and iv.8 GHz max boost clock. Again, these are very early performance figures and the platform is not optimized yet to showcase the true potential of Alder Lake mobility processors.

With that said, other specifications of the ASUS VivoBook laptop include 16 GB of DDR4-3200 dual-channel retentivity, a 1 TB Micron NVMe Gen 4 SSD, and Intel UHD graphics which should feature upward to 96 Xe Execution Units.

Intel Alder Lake-P Series SKUs

The Intel Alder Lake P series features the U15, U28, and H45. The U15, U28, and H45 take ability ratings of 15W (12/20W), 28W (20W), and 45W (35W) respectively. The U15 series volition come with up to two big cores and up to viii small-scale cores. The U28 serial will come with up to half dozen big cores and up to 8 pocket-size cores.

The H45 series will come with upwardly to half dozen big cores and upwards to 8 small cores. All three feature 96 Graphics Execution Units. The U series looks to be put in mainstream and performance laptops featuring Tiger Lake processors. The H serial looks to be a direct replacement for Tiger Lake-H35 which is in portable gaming laptops. Intel'southward Alder Lake-P laptops will be hitting the retail segment later CES 2022.
