Wccftech has released a leaked roadmap that verifies some of the major features for Intel’s forthcoming 12th Gen Core mobile CPUs, codenamed Lake Alder-P and Lake Alder-M, respectively. The former, with a higher TDP (12 to 45 watts), will include SKUs with up to 16 cores and DDR5 memory and PCIe 5.0 compatibility, while the latter will have SKUs with up to 10 cores with LPDDR5 memory support. However, Alder Lake-M will be restricted to PCIe 4.0.

Based on prior leaks, here’s how the power limitations of Alder Lake-P and Alder Lake-M compare to the preceding Tiger Lake generation:

	Tiger Lake-U (Tiger Lake-U)	Lake Tiger-H	Alder Lake-P	Alder Lake-M
PL1	UP3: UP3: UP3: UP3: UP3: UP3: UP4: UP4: UP4: UP4: UP4: UP4:	<= 45W	(6 + 8 + 2): = 45W (2 + 8 + 2): = 15W (4 + 8 + 2): = 28W (6 + 8 + 2):	= 9W (2 + 8 + 2)
PL2	= 38W (2C), = 60W UP3 (4C) = 35W (2C), = 40W UP4 (4C)	107-135W	(6 + 8 + 2): = 115W (2 + 8 + 2): = 55W (4 + 8 + 2):= 64W (6 + 8 + 2):= 115W	(30W) = (2 + 8 + 2)
PL4	= 71W (2C), = 105W UP3 (4C) = 66W (2C), = 83W UP4 (4C)		(6 + 8 + 2): = 215W (2 + 8 + 2): = 123W (4 + 8 + 2): = 140W (6 + 8 + 2):	= 68W (2 + 8 + 2)

Intel’s 12th generation Core “Alder Lake-P” mobile CPUs are expected to go into production between November 2021 and March 2022, with “Alder Lake-M” following suit in January 2022. During Intel’s forthcoming ON event and CES 2022, the company is likely to provide additional information about these choices.
