Intel s 12th Generation Alder Lake-S Desktop CPU has popped up within the CapFrameX database along with its first gaming test. The chip was spotted by Computerbase & is an engineering sample but was tested with a high-end desktop configuration which included the latest GeForce RTX GPUs and DDR5 memory.
Intel 10nm Alder Lake-S Desktop ES CPU Spotted & Benchmarked With DDR5-4800 Memory & 2.2 GHz Clocks
The Intel Alder Lake-S ES Desktop CPU has no labels and the CapFrameX software doesn t report its exact cores/threads but based on the 2.20 GHz base clock, we can tell that this sample has already done the rounds in benchmark databases. If this is in fact the same sample chip that we had seen before, then we can expect 16 cores and 24 threads but the boost clock is still unknown. We have seen faster Alder Lake-S Desktop samples which feature up to 4.6 GHz and 4.0 GHz clock speeds so this one is based on a very early revision.

After the lackluster launch of Rocket Lake-S Desktop CPUs, all eyes are now set on Intel s 12th Gen Alder Lake-S chips. A brand new engineering sample has leaked out along with detailed specs such as clock speeds and power limits by Igor s Lab.
Intel Alder Lake-S 16 Core & 24 Thread Engineering Sample Desktop CPU Leaks Out - Up To 4.6 GHz Clocks at 228W PL2 TDP
The Intel Alder Lake-S Desktop CPUs will be part of the 12th Gen Core family and will be based on the 10nm Enhanced SuperFin process node. The CPUs will feature a hybrid architecture approach that will utilize Golden Cove x86 and Gracemonth Atom cores on the same die. More details on the Alder Lake-S architecture, die layouts, and configurations can be read here.

New die shots of Intel s next-gen Sapphire Rapids Xeon CPUs have surfaced which show an MCM design that could house up to 80 cores. The leak comes from Bilibili and shows us an engineering sample of the upcoming chip.
Intel Sapphire Rapids Xeon CPU Die Shots Unveils MCM Design With 4 Chiplets
We did get a close-up look at Intel s 4th Gen Sapphire Rapids Xeon CPU dies last month but we didn t get to see what s underneath those dies. The leaker managed to expose each of the four chiplet dies on the main interposer. With all four chiplets exposed, we can see that underneath them is a 5x4 core configuration which means each die consists of up to 80 cores. However, the entire 80 core silicon will never be released to the public due to the mesh layout.
