Dell updated its largest XPS clamshells on Thursday to include the latest mobile chips from Intel. Now, 12th-gen "Alder Lake" chips are available in the 17- and 15.6-inch versions of the XPS.
Both the XPS 17 and 15 now have options for an Intel Core i5-12500H or i7-12700H. The former has four performance cores (P-cores), eight efficiency cores (E-cores), and a turbo clock speed of up to 4.5 GHz, while the latter has six P-Cores and eight E-cores and can hit up to 4.7 GHz. To get Intel's highest-end i9-12900HK, which has six P-cores and eight E-cores and can hit 5 GHz, you'll have to get the smaller-screened XPS 15.
Based on press materials, Dell seems to be planning to put the i9-12900HK in the XPS 17, too, which would make sense, as it's the largest, more expensive XPS. We'll update this story if we hear back about when that model will be available.
