Intel Core I9-12900K: Benchmark shows strong performance, before AMD Threadripper 2990Wx

Alder Lake is Intel s codename for the 12th-generation of Intel Core processors based on a hybrid design making use of Golden Cove high-performance cores as well as Gracemont power-efficient cores. Intel anticipates to launch Alder Lake on November 19th, 2021. It is to be produced making use of Intel s Intel 7 procedure, previously described as Intel 10 nm Improved SuperFin (10ESF).

Core I9-12900K Alder Lake - benchmark leaks

The next processor generation of Intel will be the 12000 series. Now WCCTECTECH reports that benchmark values ​​appeared to the Intel Core i9-12900K, which were created with Cinebench. Accordingly, the new Intel processor whose release is expected in the next few weeks before the Ryzen Threadripper 2990Wx. The latter offers 32 cores, the Core i9-12900K works with 8 + 8 cores. This new spelling is needed as Intel introduces an innovation in the new family, Codename Alder Lake, by providing efficient cores in addition to normal cores to reduce electricity needs. This principle is already known from mobile CPUs, which consist very often from, for example, 4 fast and 4 efficiency cores. The Core i9-12900K thus has 8 powerful cores as well as 8 efficient cores as support or for lighter tasks, where the strong cores can pause.

According to the divided information through the benchmark and the data from CPU-Z clocks the Core i9-12900K with 5.3 Gigahertz, has 30MB Level3 cache and a TDP of 125 watts. In the benchmark test Cinebench R23, the CPU reaches 30,549 points and is thus faster than the AMD Ryzen ThreaDripper 2990Wx. By the way, the AMD Ryzen 9 5950x comes to 28,500 points. Of course, it is unclear how the new Intel processor lags later in practice, and regardless of performance is always the question of how much you have to scroll back later. But we are looking forward to the release, among other things, three new K-CPUs of the 12000 series are expected. The Core i9-12900K is the top model, the two other K models, ie CPUs with a freely adjustable multiplier, will be the Core I5-12600K and Core i7-12700K. All three models will probably also be as a KF version, so without built-in IGP.
