Intel Core i9-12900K Could be Up to 27% Faster Than Ryzen 9 5950X
The release of Intel Core Alder Lake CPUs is fast approaching, so more and more information about them appears on the web. The latest one concerns benchmarks in which the i9-12900K chip beats the Ryzen 9 5950X.
The latest Intel Core i9-12900K benchmark results come from CPU-Z, one of the most popular benchmarks for checking CPU performance. The test of the latest Intel chip shows that the company has nailed the design of the Alder Lake series models. This is evidenced by the achievement of 825 points in the single-thread test, which is a value 21% higher than that achieved by the current flagship CPU - Core i9-11900K. According to Wccftech, i9-12900K's single-core performance is 27% higher than the most powerful CPU from AMD, the Ryzen 9 5950X.

Such a turn of events was to be expected. The release of a new generation of CPUs always brings a noticeable jump in performance and a change in the leadership position. A similar situation occurred at the time of the release of the flagship unit of the previous series. At that time Core i9-11900K slightly beat the Ryzen 9 5950X, but the power increase with Alder Lake will be much greater. Unfortunately, it remains to be seen whether synthetic tests will translate into real-world performance on a similar level.

However, you can expect the flagship i9-12900K to boast the best single-threaded performance of any CPUs available on the market today. The most powerful CPU in the Alder Lake series will feature 16 cores and 24 threads with clock speeds up to 5.3GHz and 30MB of L3 cache. But has Intel also taken care to increase multi-threaded performance, which was not the strong point of the older models? We will have to wait for the answer until the first official tests.
