A new Core i9-12900K test in Cinebench R20 was discovered, exposing the findings of its performance in both the single core test and the multi-core test, as well as disclosing what to expect in both areas.
According to the person who tested the CPU, it was tested on a B660 motherboard with DDR4-3600 RAM rather than DDR5, which means that it is not getting the most out of this CPU's capabilities. In addition, because the motherboard had very early bios, the Thermal Velocity Boost function did not work properly, resulting in the CPU reaching 5.1GHz rather than 5.3GHz in the single-core testing, which was disappointing. The operating system in use was Microsoft Windows 11.
The snapshot taken after completing both Cinebench R20 tests reveals that the Core i9-12900K achieved 768cb in the single-core test and 10545cb in the multi-core test, both of which are excellent results for a mid-range processor. In comparison, the Ryzen 9 5950X achieves approximately 650 and 10,500 points in these tests, indicating that the Core i9-12900K exceeds it in single-core and equals it in multi-core, despite having less threads than the latter. The contrast between it and its predecessor, the i9-11900K, is much greater, as it achieves 640 points in the single-core test and around 6400 points in the multi-core test, demonstrating the tremendous leap in performance from one generation to the next.
The user also uploaded a stress test of the CPU to demonstrate its power consumption, which hit 257W, which was within the margin of error of the processor's 250W PL2 power rating. As we can see, its high-performance cores maintain a 4.9GHz clock speed under stress, while its high-efficiency cores maintain a 3.7GHz clock speed.
It will be enthralling to see how well this processor performs with the final BIOS and DDR5 ram memory, however these tests have already demonstrated that even under less-than-ideal settings, the performance of the Alder Lake-S processor will be more than satisfactory.
The Cor 12th Series is likely to arrive. The next generation of Intel Core CPUs will be introduced on October 27, and pre-orders will begin the same day, with deliveries beginning on November 4. As we approach closer to the debut date, many more leaks are likely to surface.
