The P-series processors are represented by models with a TDP of 28W, and the U-series are with TDPs from 9 to 15W. Accordingly, the former show higher performance. The company promises a 70% increase in speed for them. Like all Intel Alder Lake processors, these are built on the latest hybrid architecture that combines P-cores (performance) and E-cores (energy efficient).

< p class="jsx-349690625">Intel claims that the new P and U-series processors are faster than Apple's proprietary M1 chip. For comparison, the company takes the Intel Core i7-1280P and Intel Core i7-1265U models. They both outperform the M1, with the Core i7-1280P roughly on par with the M1 Pro. It's all about multi-threaded performance. In web browsing, both Intel processors outperform the two Apple chips, in photo editing (Photoshop) the Core i7-1280P is noticeably better than the M1 Pro. In the cross-platform CrossMark test, Intel processors also perform better than Apple M1 and M1 Pro.

In addition, the P and U series support Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.2, Thunderbolt 4. U-series processors will be installed in laptops with flexible screens and laptops- transformers, and the P-series into ultrabooks. More than 250 models with these CPUs will be released in 2022.
