New standard for Intel Core i9-12900K processor Alder Lake-S Desktop CPU Manager Exploded inside Puget virtual system database Along with the first entry for the upcoming ASUS ROG STRIX Z690-E Gaming WIFI motherboard.
Intel Core i9-12900K Alder Lake Modular CPU with ASUS ROG STRIX Z690-E WIFI Gaming Motherboard, Faster Than AMD Ryzen 9 5950X and i9-11900K
Two entries for the Intel Core i9-12900K desktop CPU have been entered into the Puget Systems database. Based on the new criteria, this chip appears to be a qualified sample with much higher clock speeds than what we saw in the first engineering samples. The CPU was tested on the ASUS ROG STRIX Z690-E Gaming WIFI motherboard which is part of the next generation ROG family and it appears that this entry was made by chance by someone at ASUS HQ. Our test setup ran 64GB of DDR5-4800 (2 x 32GB) memory and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 graphics card on Windows 10.
Going straight to the performance numbers, the Intel Core i9-12900K scored 1575 points which put it ahead of the Core i9-11900K in the same benchmark. AMD Ryzen 9 5950X scored a total of 1581 points, while the Intel Core i9-11900K scored 1548 points. The Intel Core i9-11900K processor is an eight-core chip, while the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X has 16 cores, which means that this benchmark (After Effects 0.93.2) is not really optimized for high-core processors. But this is Leaked second criterion Core i9-12900K appears in front of the Ryzen 9 5950X.
After all, the Core i9-12900K comes close to the Core i9-11900K, and the Ryzen 9 5950X in its current state is quite an achievement. It should be remembered that Alder Lake CPUs, even in the case of QS, will not provide full performance capability until you receive the appropriate BIOS and OS. We’ve seen this before with Intel’s Rocket Lake chips, which only received adequate BIOS support a few days before their release. In addition, Intel’s Alder Lake CPUs are based on a Hybrid architecture It will require extensive updates through Windows 11 to unleash its core multithreaded performance and features.
A critical component of this was announced by Intel during Architecture Day 2021 and is known as ‘“Theme Manager”. It’s a hardware-based scheduler that can finally tell what kind of threads are scheduling. The technology will be available first on Alder Lake CPUs, where it will work with Windows 11 to prioritize tasks for different cores based on their nature. For the first time, the hardware scheduler can send background tasks to small cores and performance-demanding tasks to performance cores.
Intel Core i9-12900K 16 Core / 24 Thread Desktop CPU
The Intel Core i9-12900K will be the main chip in the 12th generation Alder Lake desktop CPU line. It will have 8 Golden Cove cores and 8 Gracemont cores for a total of 16 cores (8 + 8) and 24 threads (16 + 8). P-cores (Golden Cove) will operate at a maximum boost frequency of 5.3 GHz with 1-2 active cores and 5.0 GHz with all cores activated while Gracemont cores will operate at 3.90 GHz at 1-4 cores and up to 3.7 GHz at Load all cores. The CPU will have 30MB of L3 cache and the TDPs are kept at 125W (PL1) and 228W (PL2).
