Intel Core i5-12600H

12C/16T · 4.5 GHz · 45 W

The Core i5-12600H is a 12-core Alder Lake-H laptop processor announced at CES on January 4, 2022 for performance thin-and-light and business notebooks. It combines four performance-cores and eight efficient-cores with Iris Xe graphics (80 EU) and supports Intel vPro Enterprise, which sets it apart from the similar Core i5-12500H. Iris Xe graphics require dual-channel memory, otherwise the GPU operates as UHD Graphics.
