Core i9 12900K beats Ryzen 9 5950X in Ashes of Singularity by 40%.
The Core i9-12900K (Alder Lake), a 16-core, 24-thread processor, has been tested in Ashes of the Singularity as spotted by Twitterer BenchLeaks. Since dedicated quality presets were utilized, other CPUs can be compared.
A 1440p high preset on the i9-12900K gets an average CPU frame rate of 146.6 fps, 40% more than the Ryzen 9 5950X's 104.6. Both processors were tested with an RTX 3080 and 64 GB of RAM, but the card clock speeds are unknown. So we don't know if the benchmarks were conducted with (heavy) overclocks.
With a grain of salt or two in mind, these stats could give a rough idea of Alder Lake's gaming performance. On October 27 and 28, Intel InnovatiON we expect Intel to present its next desktop CPUs, with additional benchmarks surely to follow.

Intel is listing a new Comet Lake-S processor, Core i9 10900KS - 02/15/2021 01:00 PM
Um yeah, a little unusual it is. That would be to release a Comet Lake-S processor so shortly before the new 11th Gen processor release. But it's listed at Intel, the SKU would be a Core i9 10900KS....

@metagamer Except that there is no competition in pricing. Last year it was all about Zen 3, with Intel absent in Q4, leaving AMD to up their prices to the tune of record sales. This year we have a reversal, with AMD leaving Q4 all to Intel and their Alder Lake, so that Intel is under no pressure to do anything about their price. Sure, AMD will probably drop the MSRP on Zen 3, but who in their right mind will buy into a dead-end platform at its literal death bed? We're getting fleeced by both of them. The only way we win is if they both undercut each other while outperforming previous generations. Doesn't seem like that's going to happen.

Yep. AMD coming out with all these Ryzen CPUs kickstarted everything. I still don't understand why some people wanted AMD to dominate and kill Intel off. The best possible scenario that could have happened is happening.
We're getting great CPUs from both AMD and Intel and I hope they keep pushing themselves.
Remember people, buy what's best for your budget and usage scenario. Ignore the brand. They're both only here to make money, not to make anyone happy on some personal level.
Maybe there is (simply speaking) more profit in

not
releasing something until the competition beats you...which kinda makes you think why they have not done anything until 'now'.

Yup, could very well be stock CPU.
Not stock cooling though :
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/docs/processors/core/cryo-cooling.html
"Intel CryoCooling Tech" sort of says it all really.
I suppose it'll eventually come out in the very tiny small print.....
How exactly does this prove this benchmark wasn't done on stock cooling?

There was a recent patch that enabled
Maybe it's time for the X86 instruction set to be re-evaluated.
The M1 chip shows that a refresh in the architecture can get more speed using lower clocks and less power.
If the X86 platform can be evolved over time to maintain compatibility, maybe we can get a little more boost.
In the end though, integration of the CPU into the GPU will probably make more sense.
In a way, you are very right.
As Jim Keller recently said, "X86 is probably the worst CPU arquitecture in the planet"
But the problem is that X86 is a very old ISA, with a ton of old instructions, that are still being used by companies and users all around the world.
This is an advantage, because it means that many are locked to the X86 ISA.
But it also means that Intel and AMD have to maintain support for these instructions.
We must also consider that X86 started as a CISC ISA, at a time when every one was still debating what was best. CISC vs RISC.
Eventually, it was proven that RISC was the best way. So with the P6 arch, Intel changed X86 to RISC.
But this was done by creating a big decode unit, that converted X86 instructions into uOps.
Because of these two factors, todays X86 CPUs, have a bigger decode unit than ARM.
This means more area, more transistors, and more power being spent by a X86 CPU.
But keep in mind that ARM has been adding more instructions to it's feature set.
These ad benefits, like performance improvements with certain types of calculations.
But it also means that ARM is becoming more "bloated"
