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.

I'll wait and see if this has any value, because...I seriously doubt intel can dig a hole, just to fill in another hole without anyone noticing.

How does AOTS benchmark even work? Just googling random 5900x results with similar settings has numbers all over the place for CPU. I've seen results as high as 130fps. @Ryu5uzaku gets 153 with his chip.

It's a really weird bench. Not accurate to me in any shape or form. There are better game cpu benchmarks for sure then aots.

Now I am beginning to regret upgrading to a 5900x a few weeks ago... That thing obliterates my 5900X scores..

What did you get. And are you really limited by something in your system right now? Don't regret buying something when there is something better coming up. That is always a fact in hardware world.

Does anyone actually play Ashes of Singularity, or is it just an esoteric benchmark suite these days? I seem to recall it was the poster boy of AMD Mantle, or something.

The percentage seems a bit high, but I'm sure it will be somewhat more powerful in games. Who knows about anything else but games, especially software where all cores and threads can be utilised 100%. That remains to be seen.

yeah, i play AoTS and never benched it once over three gpu (RadeonVII, RTX 2070, RX6800xt) and each card was added to a loop.

also just a couple of thoughts...

unless you're an esports player or a have a cryogenic cooler and you need a use case scenario this nugget about an otherwise obscure game and clocks is meaningless.

the simplest fact is that this cpu is coming out before next gen gpu.
if it was particularly meaningful they would use a mainstream game like CoD or AC
but it's not that meaningful

for me, my biggest hope is that the 12th gen is more than incrementally better than gens 8-11. true performance will benefit everyone, so i'm not hating on it.
