New information leaks about Intel’s Alder Lake mobile lineup

Intel’s Alder Lake is soon scheduled to arrive and we all know that the new lineup will employ high-performing Golden Cove (GLC) and power-efficient Gracemont (GRT) cores along with Xe graphics. There have been many news and leaks regarding the lineup, however, now there is some information that might be the most accurate ones so far about Alder Lake mobile SKUs.

The latest piece of information comes from a tweeter user by the name of @9550pro. According to the leaker, Alder Lake-S will be available for both mobile and desktop. These leaks also confirm the availability of a BGA socket Alder Lake SKU. The leak suggests that mobile Alder Lake-S H55 will use a BGA1964 socket and will also be configured in a 45-55 W TDP range.

M5 package is aimed at tablets and offers a PL1/PL2 between 5 W and 7 W but the U9 is aimed towards ultra-thin devices with a 9 W to 15 W range. 

• M5 (5-7 W): Core i3 1C GLC + 4C GRT + 48 EU Xe | Core i5 1C GLC + 4C GRT + 64 EU Xe
• U9 (9-15 W): Core i3 2C GLC + 4C GRT + 80 EU Xe | Core i5 2C GLC + 8C GRT + 96 EU Xe | Core i7 2C GLC + 8C GRT + 96 EU Xe. 

The P package offers U15 (mainstream thin and light), U28 (performance thin and light), and H45 (thin enthusiast) segments. Normally there will 12 W to 28 W configured for the U-series. But Intel will reportedly be bifurcating the U-series into U15 and a new U28 lineup for its Alder Lake series. 

• U15 (12-15-20 W): Core i3 2C GLC + 4C GRT + 80 EU Xe | Core i5 2C GLC + 8C GRT + 96 EU Xe | Core i7 2C GLC + 8C GRT + 96 EU Xe
• U28 (20-28W): Core i5 4C GLC + 8C GRT + 96 EU Xe | Core i7 4C GLC + 8C GRT + 96 EU Xe | Core i9 6C GLC + 8C GRT + 96 EU Xe
• H45 (35-45W): Core i5 4C GLC + 8C GRT + 96 EU Xe | Core i7 6C GLC + 8C GRT + 96 EU Xe | Core i9 6C GLC + 8C GRT + 96 EU Xe

@9550pro also revealed that Alder Lake-M will use BGA1781 with a low Z-height and the Alder Lake-P will leverage on the BGA1744 socket which has lesser number of pins than Alder Lake-M and the Alder Lake-S makes use of BGA1964 socket.

For now, we don’t have the exact launch dates for Intel’s Alder Lake but it’s expected for Intel to announce the S-series for desktop and mobile later this year.
