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....

A 40% uplift over AMD seems to good to be true or some sort of freak result. Not to mention that there are more interesting games to bench than Ashes, like Cyberpunk.
Still, competition is always good, even if they don´t result in lower prices, like mackintosh as posted before me...

Sure the new processor will be faster but Intel always exaggerates, for example my result is better than 5950x7040
Also, by chance, a new patch was released7041
That explains alot .
However all should be happy because competition is real this time and we can hope for gains on PERFORMANCE/$ ratios. Which is imo most important thing , driving technology .
Remmber QUAD CORE STAGNATION ?

you're right...except AMD has cut prices on Zen 3 (at least in the US)
@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.

who says anyone wants to buy these frankenmonster cpu's with core and celeron tech both on one soc. This technology path sucks.
i'm saying that i don't need these cheap easy cores to run all the background bloatware that doesn't benefit me one iota, it only benefits "THEM".
As someone who keeps background tasks to a bare minimum, even I acknowledge this technology path doesn't suck. So far, it seems to me Intel is charging proportionately less for the little cores than they used to charge for HT. The little cores are better than HT. Not everything needs advanced instructions. Most tasks don't scale up that well, if at all. The big complex cores are not efficient when they're being pushed hard yet not fully utilized. I would soooo much rather spend less for more overall performance and lower heat output.I just don't understand this mindset of people who just want more big cores. If your computer earns you money, buy a workstation or server CPU, where there either won't be little cores or relatively few.
I say it over and over again: CPUs are generally better for multitasking, not parallelization. You don't need homogeneity in your architecture if there isn't homogeneity in your workload.
Crap benchmark for AMD.
I've had multicore cpus since the ES Xeon V3/V4 days running AoTS. My 5950X doesn't run it much faster than those in the benchmark (although the software version has changed).
Might not be crap for AMD. Maybe the game just peaks in performance after a certain core count.
Remember too that for games, each individual thread must be synced with a master thread. AMD's core cluster approach is pretty slow with inter-core communication, which can really drag down performance every time threads need to sync.
