The latest benchmark of Intel’s flagship Core i9-12900K Alder Lake CPU have leaked out and is crushing AMD’s flagship Ryzen 9 5950X 16 core chip.
Intel Core i9-12900K 16 Core Alder Lake CPU Crushes The AMD Ryzen 9 5950X 16 Core Zen 3 CPU In Both Single-Core & Multi-Core Tests
The latest benchmark for the Intel Core i9-12900K Alder Lake Flagship CPU has popped up within the Geekbench 5 database. This new chip was running at a base clock of 3.20 GHz while the boost clock isn’t correctly reported. Other testing equipment included 32 GB DDR5-4800 memory and a client Alder Lake platform which should feature the Z690 PCH. Before getting into the performance numbers, let’s quickly recap the specifications.
Intel Core i9-12900K 16 Core / 24 Thread Desktop CPU Specifications
The Intel Core i9-12900K will be the flagship chip in the 12th Gen Alder Lake Desktop CPU lineup. It will feature 8 Golden Cove cores and 8 Gracemont cores for a total of 16 cores (8+8) and 24 threads (16+8). The P-cores (Golden Cove) will operate at a maximum boost frequency of up to 5.3 GHz with 1-2 active cores and 5.0 GHz with all-cores active while the E-cores (Gracemont) will operate at 3.90 GHz across 1-4 cores and up to 3.7 GHz when all cores are loaded. The CPU will feature 30 MB of L3 cache and TDP values are maintained at 125W (PL1) and 228W (PL2).
The Intel Core i9-12900K scored an impressive 1893 points in single-core and 17,299 points in the multi-core test. This puts the Alder Lake flagship 2% ahead in single-core and 22% ahead in multi-core performance against the Rocket Lake Core i9-11900K flagship. At the same time, the chip just crushes the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X with an 11% single-core and 4% multi-core performance lead. As stated before, this is still early performance, and the fact that the benchmark isn’t even running in Windows 11 OS, which is required for proper operation of the efficiency cores, means that we could expect even higher performance in final retail chips.
