The full non-K 12th Gen Intel Core specs just leaked out
Intel has hinted to a much more extensive 12th Gen Intel Core lineup than what was announced last month, and it seems that leaks have begin popping up left and right. The locked, or non-K options, are slated to be announced next year, with Intel also expected to reveal their 12th Gen Intel Core mobile offerings at the same time as well.
12th Gen Intel Core non-K Specs look pretty enticing!
According to the leaks, there might not be 12th Gen Intel Core i3 SKUs, but then again the leak came from the Alienware Aurora R13’s list of supported processors, and I don’t think that Core i3 options are generally offered with serious gaming systems. According to the leaks, the locked Intel Core i9-12900 and Core i7-12700 will share most of the specs of its unlocked brethren, but the Intel Core i5-12400 will be slightly different.
Instead of the Intel Core i5-12600K’s 6 P-core + 4 E-core, the Intel Core i5-12400 will pack a traditional 6 P-core configuration. This apparently is also going to be shared with the Intel Core i5-12600, although while one leak has the Core i5-12600 listed, Dell’s leak does not. The TDP across the deck for the locked models are also much lower at 65W, although with Intel changing how the PL1 and PL2 limits work, I am not exactly sure how much power these CPUs will end up drawing.
It is worth mentioning that Dell’s specifications also lists the Core i9-12900K as a 32-thread CPU, which is it clearly isn’t. Dell might have made several other typos, including how the Core i5-12400 doesn’t have HyperThreading while the Core i5-12400F does, so do take all the leaked specs with a pinch of salt.

In any case, stay tuned for more details about the 12th Gen Intel Core series!
Pokdepinion: I guess it does make sense for the Core i5-12400 to not have E-cores to save some die space and make them cheaper… Hopefully that’s all that it will be missing out on though.
