The Core i7-12700H pre-sample seems to have amassed 18,501 points in Cinebench R23 multi. We do not have single-core scores yet, but the multi-core performance seems to be quite impressive. Cinebench R23 is an interesting benchmark since it is also natively available for Apple M1 SoCs, which have been making headlines for their superlative performance and efficiency. Therefore, it is quite safe to assume that our sources could have indeed stumbled upon an upcoming GE76 Raider based on the Core i7-12700H.Ĭompared to Tiger Lake-H Core i9-11950H average, the pre-sample Core i7-12700H is about 53% while the performance delta further increases to 82% against an average Core i9-10980HK. The GE76 Raider is MSI’s flagship gaming laptop series, so it is very well possible that the company has already begun testing multiple Alder Lake-P-based SKUs. Thus, it is becoming increasingly evident that the “17K4” in this Core i9-12900HK leak is indicative of an upcoming MSI GE76 Raider device. In fact, the MSI GE76 Raider 11UH that we had reviewed had the BIOS version E17K3IMS.113 while the GE76 Raider 10UH before it carried the E17K2IMS.109 version. This a BIOS naming convention characteristic of MSI laptops. Now, we have exclusive access to Cinebench R20 and Cinebench R23 runs of the Core i7-12700H, which we think likely belongs to an upcoming MSI laptop. We’ve already been seeing several leaks pertaining to CPUs such as the Core i9-12900HK and the Core i7-12800H on Geekbench. Laptops powered by Intel’s 12th gen Alder Lake mobile processors are expected to arrive sometime in Q1 2022. Improvements in single-core performance, the Core i7-12700H impresses a lot with multi-core scores that are significantly higher than the competition including the likes of the AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX and Apple M1 Max. These scores were from a closed test, and the benchmark entry indicated a BIOS name that goes like E17K4IMS.013. The other, more convincing evidence comes from a Geekbench leak of the Core i9-12900HK that we had reported on recently (via Wccftech). Here, we see that the Cinebench window is partially eclipsing what is clearly an MSI logo. The first clue that we could be looking at an MSI laptop comes from the picture of this leak itself (see below). Our sources did not mention the exact origin of the scores, but we can probably hazard an informed guess that the Core i7-12700H leak we have with us is indeed from an upcoming MSI GE76 Raider 12UH (?) device.
