Intel® Core™ i5-12600HE

The Intel Core i5-12600HE is a embedded processor with a hybrid 12-core layout (4 performance cores + 8 efficiency cores) and 16 threads, built on the Alder Lake architecture (Intel 7 process). It launched in Jan 2022. Clocks run from 2.5 GHz base to 4.5 GHz boost. A 18-MB L3 cache backs the cores (2.3 MB per core). It addresses DDR5, DDR4, LPDDR5, LPDDR4X memory up to 64 GB across 2 channels. The chip drops into the FCBGA1744 socket and exposes PCIe 4.0 (28 lanes). Rated TDP is 45 W. Notable platform capabilities: Deep Learning Boost, AVX-VNNI, Extended Page Tables (EPT), AES-NI.

The Intel Core i5-12600HE scores 3,387 in single-core performance and 20,256 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 8,283 for overall performance, 17,908 for productivity performance, 17,237 for creator performance, 22,028 for engineering performance and 15,225 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 1,688 per core, 1,266 per thread and 450 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 1,235. Its performance index is 103, so its overall performance is 3% above the Intel Core i5-12400 (index 100). Each bar shows the score as a share of a reference ceiling, which is the larger of the 99th-percentile score across the Feex CPU database and a fixed baseline.

Scores for individual PassMark CPU Mark test categories. Higher is better. These are measured test scores, not computed from the single-core and multi-core ratings.

In the individual workload tests the Intel Core i5-12600HE scores 69,181 in integer math, 47,736 in floating-point math, 237,034 in compression, 14,101 in cryptography, 1,162 in physics simulation, 13,650 in vector SIMD, 64 in the prime sieve and 27,217 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 17% above in integer math, 4% above in floating-point math, 4% above in compression, 23% above in cryptography, 7% above in physics simulation, 12% below in vector SIMD, 4% below in the prime sieve and 20% above in sorting. Each bar shows the score as a share of that workload's reference ceiling, the larger of the 99th-percentile score across CPUs with a recorded value and a fixed baseline.

The Intel Core i5-12600HE has 12 physical cores and runs 16 logical threads. It uses a hybrid layout of 4 performance cores and 8 efficiency cores. It runs at a base clock of 2.50 GHz and boosts up to 4.50 GHz.
