We recently saw the Intel Core i7-12700 appear on Geekbench 5 where it traded blows with the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X, we have now discovered the flagship Core i9-12900K also making an appearance. The benchmarked Intel Core i9-12900K features a hybrid design with 8 high-performance cores, 8 high-efficiency cores, and 24 threads running at a base clock of 3.2 GHz. The test was performed on a Windows 11 Pro machine allowing for full use of the Intel Thread Director technology paired with 32 GB of DDR5 memory. The processor achieved a single-core score of 1834/1893 in the two tests which gives it the highest score on the official Benchmarks coming in 12% faster than the Ryzen 9 5950X. The processor also achieved an impressive multi-core score of 17299/17370 which places it 3% above the Ryzen 9 5950X and 57% above the previous generation flagship 8-core i9-11900K. These leaked benchmarks highlight the impressive potential of Intel's upcoming 12th Generation Core series which is expected to launch in November.

I thought that most of us around here don't care about Geekbench scores.

Geekbench is a good synthentic benchmark to compare processors on how they perform at running Geekbench. It's great that this new CPU do better than the previous generation. It's also great that intel beat a CPU that would be a year old when it get released.

But that is still way not enough information to really know the final performance in various scenario of the product. But at least, it's doing good in geekbench.

if it can beat the 10900k in games i will be impressed, because the 11900k doesn't in quite a few games oddly enough... :roll:

I'm still heavily thinking about going with AMD for my next build.

I'm waiting for AM5 and all that stuff late next year. Hoping the bot problem is not an issue then, but eh.

I plan on doing a rather cheap build with AM4 seeing as how I can only imagine that DDR5 is going to be expensive as all hell at first. Then again, I could be wrong about that.

As we know.

EDIT: looking at the price difference make me wounder.

I think we saw something like this before 11900k came out.
Same hype train, same disappointment.

Look as impressive as Alder Lake maybe, I would still wait for Raptor Lake. It will be a huge update of Alder Lake, and apart from 25% IPC uplift will see i9 13900K get 16 gracemont cores. I will be upgrading my old R7 1700X PC late next year and Raptor Lake will be on my radar, but of course will be also seeing Zen 4 with RDNA2 iGPU and 25-30% IPC uplift over Zen 3. Going forward Lunar Lake and Nova Lake sound like even more massive updates. I fully expect Zen 5 to be Big.little as well.

I went with AMD Threadripper for the build I'm having done. I say go with whatever works best for your use. Both Intel & AMD have their pros & cons, but both will get the job done in the end. Just don't let it be your arse end. :D

Oh dear, so in the real world in a real benchmark its slower in multi core then the 5950X and about 3% faster in Single Core.......not really ground breaking results and doesnt stack up to the Twitter claims which was pretty obvious from the start.....

Hopefully not so much to the point where its following the "moar power" GPU pattern. If power demands for desktops keep going the way they are, 1,000+ watt PSU is going to be the new norm for gaming desktops. Thank goodness for low-powered SSDs or we would already be there.

That's pretty laughable if you ask me, I certainly don't

Is the 12th gen going to be built on 10nm?

It's Intel's misleading scam given the characteristics of its 10nm process. It doesn't even follow the ground standard rules and is in reality 11nm process, no where near 7nm.
Why does it lie all the time?

heh, yeah they all do that to a greater or lesser extent. Lets just hope that neither Intel or AMD end up dominating the market & they keep on competing.

But technically Intel dominates the market with 90% servers market share and 80% OEMs CPUs market share, despite the technological superiority and much better performance from the Ryzen and EPYC product lines.

Because everyone else is lying. Just look at TSMC. Their basic 7nm process is worse than Intel's 10nm one. Intel realized that it's just bad marketing to tell the truth if your competitors are all lying.

I know. Why do they get away with it? I am quite sure that if they get sued, a lot of fines and money could go to the requester?

Technically, that used to be almost 100% just a couple of years ago, it's very rare that a competitor manages to erode a monopoly even to that small extent.
