Launched Q3 2019, this new 4 core 8 thread Ice Lake laptop processor is very power efficient owing to the performance it attained. The Ice Lake CPU uses the new 10nm which leads to improves power efficiency, decreased thermal output as well as slightly higher IPC. This CPU only uses 15W and has single core performance that surpasses AMD Ryzen 7 3750H and older Intel i7-9750H (below when you count multi core performance). This CPU is used for high performance laptop as well as mid end gaming laptop. [Nov '19ColdSpy]
Intel's i5 12500 is a weird processor. It is around $40 more expensive than the i5 12400(F) for slightly higher clocks and a better iGPU that most gamers will not care about - which is the thing Alder Lake focuses most on from what we've seen. It is not good value. This does not mean it is a bad CPU, it is still very capable of gaming and could be more capable in workstation and desktop use thanks to the improved iGPU. I do not believe it deserves a $40 tax for those situations though. [Apr '22Waaaaaal]
