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.

so it's a benchmark ?
it's the same as buying a gpu for running 3dmark
for rendering any cpu will kneel to cuda acceleration,especially on ampere which is probably the most compute-oriented nvidia card ever.

Not really depending which software or renderer you use, like V-RAY or Corona or Arnold and many others can be faster with CPUs and plus some features of these renderers are not available with GPU erx

Hope this helps

Thanks, Jura

I personally hope this is true and Intel is very competitive. Will be good for pricing especially in 2022 when the shortage dies down. AMD's Zen4 is going to smoke whatever Intel does here so I'm not worried about that but I do want Intel competitive. Last thing we need is AMD becoming the new Intel. I want a tug of war so they both have to keep pushing hard to make the best products they can make not the 4-core Intel stagnation we had before.

I dont expect much.
If they can beat a unlimited 10900k in multicore without going over the 125W TDP I will be impressed.

There is no chance this thing will beat a 5950x in cinebench or other high allcore long load, maybe a 5900x if they make the highest performance jump in the core series ever.

The 11900k and 10900k are mostly power or heat limited at full allcore, so if the small cores need to help doing work, something else needs to be throttled I think.

ahh the smell of vaporware in the morning...

these are all hype men trying to ramp up excitement for the already outdated Alder Lake.
add in the heat/power equation and ever-changing chipsets and it's just not worth it.
i passed on x399 (after always buying hedt from x79) for the same reasons.
i know AM5 will last more than one generation and i know Intel will have yet a couple more generations before they catch up with AMD.
the only Intel sku that looks promising is the 3nm xeon (TSMC) in 2022.

6 is fine.
it's not great,it's not futureproof and your cpu will have to really sweat in some games,but it's fine.
Yeah, that's what I meant. 6/12 "Enough cores with high clock".

You might say: "Future proof". Well what is Future proof? It's very likely it's not going to be. Show me a good case of a future proof AMD???
And how many generations do you consider as future proof?

£230 for i5 11600k 6/12 is a LOT cheaper than 8/16.
And fine, Ill just buy the next thing when it comes out and sell current. It won't lose value.

I just like the fact I'm running a 4.6ghz on all cores or 4.9ghz on one single.
For me it's plenty..
Rather spend that money on something else.
