Intel today announced the launch of 12th Gen Intel® Core™ processors (codename: Alder Lake S-series and H-series), the first processor family developed for the edge to deliver a performance hybrid architecture combining Performance cores and Efficient cores with Intel® Thread Director. He did it at CES 2022. Developed to accelerate Internet of Things (IoT) application innovation, these new processors; It offers higher core counts and advanced graphics/media/display and AI capabilities to retail, manufacturing, healthcare and digital security customers across a wide price, performance and power range.
12th Gen Intel Core processor family; With the combination of Intel’s new performance hybrid architecture and Intel 7 processing technology, it offers key features that set it apart from other existing solutions for retail, production and video. These features include:
- High computing performance and flexibility for heavier IoT workloads.
- Faster AI and deep learning capabilities without additional hardware.
- Embedded use-case reliability.
- Advanced integrated graphics processing units to support 4K and 8K displays.
- Hardware-based security to defend vulnerable IoT devices from attacks.
- A strong ecosystem and open source communities to support multiple operating systems so that IoT customers can choose the operating system appropriate for their targeted applications.
Alder Lake S series
12th Gen Intel Core desktop processors for IoT; Compared to 10th Gen Intel® Core™ processors, up to 1.36 times faster in single-threaded performance, up to 1.35 times faster in multi-threaded performance, up to 1.94 times faster in graphics performance and 2 in GPU image classification inference performance, It is up to 81 times faster. 12th Gen Intel® Core desktop processors for IoT include Intel® UHD Graphics 770, managed by the Intel® Xe architecture that supports display virtualization and up to four independent displays. Support for PCIe 5.0/PCIe 4.0 and DDR5/DDR4 combined with security and manageability features, and AI enablement help increase productivity and drive future innovation in IoT applications. IoT SKUs offer up to 16 cores and 24 threads at 35W to 65W TDP, real-time capabilities, long lifespan, and long-term software support.
These processors provide a variety of benefits across many industries.
- Retail, banking, hospitality and education customers can improve workload convergence, extract value from seamless points of sale and kiosks to enhance interactive viewing experiences.
- Industrial manufacturing customers can better leverage industrial PCs, edge servers, advanced controllers, machine vision systems and virtualized control platforms.
- Healthcare customers will be able to offer advanced ultrasound imaging, medical cars, endoscopy and clinical devices at the edge.
- Digital safety and security customers will get more results from AI box analytics, network video recorders and video walls.
Alder Lake H series
12th Gen Intel Core mobile processors for IoT; It is expected to be up to 1.04x faster in single-threaded performance, up to 1.18x faster in multi-threaded performance, and up to 2.29x faster in graphics performance compared to 11th Gen Intel® Core™ processors. These SKUs offer up to 14 cores and 20 threads at a TDP of 35W to 45W. In addition, Intel is announcing the U-series and P-series of 12th Gen Intel Core processors with a TDP of 15W to 28W. Four display channels enable complete video wall deployments with rich, immersive Intel® Iris® X graphics combined with AI enablement for inference and machine vision scenarios.
These processors provide a wide range of benefits across many industries, including:
- Retail, banking, hospitality and education customers will enrich experiences with four display channels for video walls that will improve workload consolidation, and AI interactive whiteboards and kiosks to deliver analytics.
- Industrial manufacturing customers will be able to better leverage machine vision processing for combined parts inspection with human-machine interface panels and industrial PCs.
- Health customers on devices; It will perform advanced medical imaging such as artificial intelligence/analytical ultrasounds that will provide assistance in the fields of diagnosis, telemedicine and robotics.
- Digital safety and security customers will use image processing in edge deployments and AI-enabled video recorders and leverage this technology for a variety of applications such as smart buildings, smart factories and smart cities.
Intel’s 12th Gen Core processors already have more than 80 IoT customers participating in Intel’s Early Access Program. The Alder Lake S series is expected to be released in January 2022, and the Alder Lake H series in April 2022.
