The new Intel Core i7-12800H chipset is here, and it will provide tough competition to Intel's rival companies. Most recently, Companies such as AMD and Apple managed to develop more powerful processors. Apple has started shipping the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro devices with M1 chipsets, which are highly efficient. Other companies such as Dell and HP are also launching more laptops with AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX processors, coupled with powerful graphics processors from Nvidia.

In October 2021, Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger expressed the company's wish to take back the lost business from Apple's Mac and other companies by developing even more powerful Intel processors. Gelsinger also mentioned that the new Intel processors would compel users and creators to switch to Intel-based products. While the Intel Core i7-12800H processor has not been launched yet, the company has been working upon it for a long time.

According to three Geekbench listings uploaded on Dec. 23, 2021, the average performance score of the Intel Core i7-12800H comes out to be 1,791 in the single-core test and 12,541 in the multi-core test. All three trials were conducted on the same device, i.e., Razer Blade 15 (2022). On the other hand, the Apple MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2021) with the Apple M1 Max (3.2GHz) scores 1,762 in the single-core test and 12,473 in the multi-core test. The scores reveal that the Intel Core i7-12800H processor not only matches the performance of Apple's M1 Max but defeats it as well.

Apart from the performance scores, the Geekbench listing also reveals other details about the upcoming Intel Core i7-12800H processor. The next-generation Intel Alder Lake chip will come with 14 cores and 20 threads, while the Apple M1 Max comes with 10 cores and 10 threads. The base frequency of the Intel chipset fit in the Razer Blade 15 (2022) is 2.80 GHz, and the maximum frequency is 3.6 GHz. The new Intel chip scores 54 percent more than the AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX in the Geekbench multi-core test.

The Apple MacBook Pro and the Razer Blade 15 laptops were equipped with 32GB of RAM when they appeared for the benchmarking test. As the Intel Core i7-12800H has emerged with a Razer Blade series laptop, the processor could appear on multiple gaming and high-performance Windows laptops that will be released in 2022. With Apple on its path to phase out Intel processors from its top-of-the-line MacBook Pro laptops, Intel could make a solid comeback with its upcoming Alder Lake processors, which offer equivalent performance.
