The hype prepare to Intel Alder Lake processors has entered the station and it’s all aboard. Simply two days in the past, we posted {that a} leak had instructed Intel’s Alder Lake flagship, the Intel Core i9 12900K could be sooner than AMD’s 32-core Threadripper CPUs and now a contemporary posting from HXL appears to confirm simply that. That stated since that is nonetheless technically a rumor – I might take it with a pinch of salt until we obtain affirmation from a totally trusted supply.
Intel Core i9 12900K 21% larger single-core rating than AMD Zen 3 and 40% uplift over Comet Lake
Intel’s ALder Lake processors are architecturally on the identical course of that they have been designed for (not like Rocket Lake that was backported) and can lastly transfer Intel away from the 14nm course of that has been right here for just about eternity. Transferring to Intel 10 will permit the corporate to harness energy effectivity curves which can be equal to sub 14nm processes at TSMC and make it a a lot fairer struggle (structure vs structure versus node benefit) when coping with AMD CPUs.
Within the first outcome we will see that the Intel 12900K scores 81 CB factors in Cinebench R20.
Within the second benchmark, we will see that it scores 205 factors. Because of Computerbase (through Videocardz) we will inform that that is simply the very best rating of any x86 processor but and exhibits that Intel may be very a lot planning a comeback with its Alder Lake processors:
Videocardz (through Tum Apisak) was additionally capable of finding the processor within the Sisoft Sandra database, which implies Intel is preparing for a launch. The Intel CPU scores 1410 mpix within the rating however VCZ speculates that that is seemingly as a result of solely 8 cores getting used within the BIG.smalll design of the Intel Alder Lake CPU:
Oh and in case you wanted a recap, right here is how the Intel Core i9 12900k allegedly performs in multicore scores:
