The latest alleged benchmarks of Intel's Core i9-12900K Alder Lake flagship have leaked out and they show beating the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X once again in single-threaded tests.
Intel Core i9-12900K Alder Lake Crushes The AMD Ryzen 9 5950X Zen 3 CPU In Single-Thread Benchmark With 27% Lead
The Intel Core i9-12900K is going to be the flagship chip in the 12th Gen Alder Lake family. The CPU will feature a total of 16 cores and 24 threads with clock speeds of up to 5.30 GHz (TVB) and 30 MB of L3 cache. The chip will feature a TDP of 125W (PL1) and 228W (PL2). We have already got several benchmarks of the chip in various other tests which show it performing faster than both the Ryzen Threadripper and Ryzen 5000 CPUs but the latest benchmark entry is within CPU-z.
The benchmarks leaked by Bilibili allegedly feature the Intel Core i9-12900K & while we don't have any specifics about the test configuration, we can see that the CPU scores 825 points in single-core test. When compared to the existing flagship, the Core i9-11900K, this is a single-core performance increase of 21%, and compared to AMD's Ryzen 9 5950X, this is a single-core performance increase of 27%.
The Intel Alder Lake CPUs are aiming to deliver a 19% improvement in IPC so a 21% improvement over the Rocket Lake chips is pretty much in line considering there are other architectural uplifts in place too. We cannot say how valid these tests are but in all that we have seen so far, the i9-12900K is outperforming literally every chip by a 20-30% lead in single-core tests.
The leaker didn't show the multi-core performance benchmark but he has hinted that it is also very strong compared to the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X. With this performance, the Intel Core i9-12900K could definitely tackle Intel's high-end AM4 chips and just might have enough juice to compete favorably against the Ryzen 3D chips that are expected to bring another 5-10% performance improvement. It looks like the CPU segment is back in action with both x86 rivals pitted against each other in a long-due and much-needed battle. If Alder Lake does turn out to be the success that Intel has long been waiting for, then their next focus should definitely be the return to the HEDT market.
