The Zen 3 chips from AMD have a 105 W TDP whereas the Alder Lake flagship part starts off at 125 W base and can reach all the way up to a hefty 241 W under turbo usage ( 330 W has even been recorded for an overclocked sample). But as most people interested in processor development and the CPU market will know, this Intel single-thread superiority always comes at a power cost. In AMD motherboard chipsets, motherboard chipsets beginning with X and B support overclocking, such as X470. In Intel motherboard chipsets, overclocking is supported only by motherboard models starting with Z, such as Z370 and Z390. Not all motherboards (chipsets) support overclocking. The multithread results are also strong, with the 8C+8c/24T processor scoring 11,244 points and 11,719 points in the two benchmarks – much higher than any of the other chips in the select group of CPUs using 24 threads (Ryzen 9 5900X points).Ĭonsidering the US$589 price tag for the Intel Core i9-12900K there would be high expectations for its 8 P-cores and 8 E-cores to deliver the goods – at least in terms of synthetic benchmark performances. As for AMD CPUs, all Ryzen CPUs can support overclocking. New in CPU-Z 1.97: Intel Core i9 12900K, Core i7 12700K and Core i5 12600K 'Alder Lake' CPUs and Intel Z6xx platform. Using an average of 823.5 points, this would leave the Alder Lake part with these incredible performance differences: +20.75% over the i9-11900K, +27.08% over the Ryzen 9 5900X, and +27.28% over the Ryzen 9 5950X. CPU-Z 1.70.1 - November 2014 - Intel Core M processors (1.71.1) - New CPU-Z logo (1.71.1) - AMD Athlon X2 450, Athlon X4 840 and Athlon X4 860K (Kaveri).

Of course, there are examples of Ryzen 9 5900X and i9-11900K chips achieving higher results than those shown in the CPU-Z chart, but this is how things look at the moment: The i9-12900K managed 813 points and 834 points. The Ryzen 3 3300X should be a top CPU contender for anyone building a fast, but budget-conscious, AMD AM4-based gaming desktop (or a content-creation. Like the other Ryzen 3000 chips, the Ryalso comes with a 7nm computer die paired with a 12nm I/O die. Unlike, most Intel processors, AMD processors come bundled with an in-box cooler, and the Ryisn’t an exception here. Considering the AMD Ryzen 9 5900X, Ryzen 9 5950X, and the i9-11900K are all in the chart with scores below 700, it is an astonishing appearance by the high-end hybrid processor. Like any other 3rd generation Ryzen CPUs, the Ryalso shares support for PCIe 4.0. The i9-12900K features in two separate tests where it achieves an 800+ score in both runs. It wasn’t that long ago that the Rocket Lake i9-11900K was ripping up the rulebook on the same benchmark, but the Alder Lake chip has destroyed its predecessor’s current CPU-Z chart entry. Expert data-miner APISAK has offered up two more benchmark results for the Intel Core i9-12900K, and they reveal single-thread benchmark results that are nothing short of spectacular.
