Alder Lake-S sample has 5.3GHz boost clock scores 11300 points in Cinebench R20
It's a rumor of the highest category this one, but a Chinese forum user claims to have a sample that reaches a boost clock speed of 5.3 GHz. At the end of this year, Intel will introduce the CPUs of Alder Lake; samples info will get leaked sometimes.
In any event, Core i9 12900K in question is an overclockable CPU with 8 Golden Cove cores and 8 Gracemont cores (BIG.little). In Cinebench R20's multi-threaded test he'd score about 11,300 points, which is 10% fasterer than a Ryzen 9 5950X.
The boost clock of 5.3 GHz is lower than expected, previously there were rumors of a boost clock of 5.5 GHz. The qualification sample designation means that it should perform more or less the same as the actual production model, while further improvements are possible for an engineering sample.
Twitter-based YuuKi AnS, says it does not yet have the full potential of Alder Lake, Windows 11 would be needed. This may have to do with the task scheduler since Windows 11 should better be able to handle CPU cores of various sizes. In addition, the frequency of the clock may still improve.

There is nothing that is future proof. Normally, the IPC increases are marginal and the core count only matters if you actually make use of the core count.
But here we're talking about a LOT faster RAM coming to the mainstream, with a lot more bandwidth on top of all the other increases.
Sad story of current CPU prices.
Obviously they will hold well, but marketing will do it's job and the new hype train will be "ram sticks".

I don't know if you've been there before where you went from a reasonable rig running a decent CPU and RAM. I remember going from Q6600 to 2500k. It wasn't just that the 2500k was so much faster, it also more than doubled my RAM throughput. Similar thing moving from 2500k DDR3 to 7700k DDR4. It all adds up.

That's 4 years - each. It's a long time tho...
So let's just say that's "somewhat holding well". Although not really...
I5 2500k? In those days sht was expensive.
I don't know. It's sure is very debatable to spend 400$ for CPU or 240$ when you are not making money out of it.
Eventually you are gonna run out of games to throw charts with and it will be very similar.
Edit: To answer previous dudes arguments, I must write it has never been how the world works when it comes to this "I must buy best CPU" . You must make games to meet gamers PC specs. And most won't buy highest end CPU's.

Yeah, 4 years is ok. I had 4 years or so out of my 7700k. Probably 5 years, can't remember now. And it served me so well.
I'm just going to say though, that dropping a lot of money on a 5950x now, or even on it's release date was probably not a smart move, due to all the new things on the horizon.
Generally speaking, I'll happily overlook the IPC increase that happens from generation to generation. But when a whole new RAM bump is involved, it's a different story.
I'm kinda losing track of our conversation. Are you saying there's future proof processors out there?

So every year theres a reason to upgrade.
Cores
Threads
Raytracing
RAM
One thing they are good at is marketing.
So, okay . What's the ' future proof" with a ridiculous price of 400$ if we keep hearing about DDR5? How many years till DDR5?

Remember those AMD fans buying RX 480 8gb because in 3 years time it'll be as good as the Nvidia GPU it's going to be losing to for the first 3 years? Nobody cares man. Buy what is best for you when you're buying. As long as you're not buying something underpowered because in 5 years it might be the king of low end, it's all good.
People raved about the first gen of Ryzen, about how it's going to last for a long time because it has cores. Yawn. They're sub par these days.
