Gigabyte AORUS 17G 17YE5 with Core 12700H or 12800H?

A test run of the upcoming gaming laptop from Gigabyte had just made an appearance on Userbenchmark.

Gigabyte laptop naming is relatively easy to follow. The 10th Gen Comet Lake-H AORUS series was called Y C , 11th Gen Core Tiger Lake-H was Y D , thus the upcoming 12th Gen Core Alder Lake series should be called Y E and this is exactly what we see in this leak. Furthermore, we can also decode that the GPU is most likely NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 , which is labeled as “ Y “. In other words, we are likely looking at the next-generation AORUS flagship 17G gaming laptop.

This 17-inch AORUS YE5 laptop has been tested in Userbenchmark where it shows relatively low performance. Judging from the score, this wasn’t a full-fledged test, but rather a test runs to verify that the laptop can finish the test.

While the CPU is not named, it is relatively easy to expect a high-end CPU, such as a successor to Core i7-11800H equipped with 8-cores. An educated guess would be that the AORUS 17 YE5 features either Core i7-12700H CPU or 12800H CPU.

According to the UB listing, this SKU would feature 14 cores and 20 threads, which suggests 6 big cores and 8 small cores (the latter do not support hyperthreading). It should be an early engineering sample because the clock speeds are not very high, we are looking at a 1.2 GHz base clock and a 1.75 GHz boost clock.

Next-generation AORUS 17G laptop already packs DDR5-4800 SODIMM memory from SK Hynix:

This CPU will be part of the Alder Lake-P mobile CPU family, which will be offered with up to 6 high-performance cores and 8 high-efficiency cores. The series is also to offer up to 96 Execution Units of Intel’s Xe graphics.
