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.

Intel s flagship Xe-HPG DG2 Gaming GPU has made an appearance within the Geekbench database along with its specifications. The Xe-HPG lineup will be dedicated towards gaming graphics cards & will feature both enthusiast-grade and mainstream options when the lineup hits shelves by the 2nd half of this year.
Intel Xe-HPG DG2 Flagship Gaming GPU Spotted - Features 512 EUs, 4096 Cores, 1800 MHz Clocks & 12 GB GDDR6 VRAM?
The Intel Xe-HPG DG2 GPU spotted features 512 Execution units that round up to 4096 cores. The GPU clock speed was maintained at 1800 MHz (max) though we don t know if these will be the final clock speeds for the graphics card since the GPU tested here is still in an engineering state. As for VRAM, the card is listed with a 12.6 GB memory capacity but that s definitely incorrect. It seems like the benchmark is unable to properly identify the VRAM capacity and could just be 12 GB in total. The Xe-HPG DG2 GPU also packs 4 MB of L2 cache as sp
