Singapore, 25 February 2022 – Aftershock PC, Singapore’s premier PC builder, today introduces the new Intel 12th Generation Alder Lake Processors to its line-up of high-performance laptops. Now available for pre-order from the site, test benchmarks reveal that the new Intel mobile chipset is expected to improve overall performance by almost 40% over the previous generation, owing to a new hybrid architecture featuring Performance-cores (P-Cores) and Efficient-Cores (E-Cores) optimised for different use cases.
Aftershock PC’s upgraded range of laptops will see significant improvements resulting from the largest generational performance leap seen in recent years, powered by Gen 4 SSD support, DDR5 memory capabilities and a more efficient architecture. Also offered with selected models are Nvidia’s new GeForce RTX 3070Ti and 3080Ti graphics cards – the fastest GPUs currently available for mobile form factors.
“Aftershock PC is excited to be one of the first in Singapore to offer Intel’s latest and greatest performance laptop CPUs,” said Marcus Wee, co-founder of Aftershock PC. “Similar to our swift adoption and support of Intel’s 12th Gen desktop chipsets, we’ve worked tirelessly to update our range of laptops and make the change a seamless, effortless upgrade for our customers. The Intel 12th Generation mobile chipsets present one of the biggest performance jumps we’ve seen in years, and it is something we’re extremely excited to bring to market.”
