Geekbench of Intel Core i7-12700 Matches the Ryzen 7 5800X

AMD's Ryzen 7 5800X runs neck-and-neck with Intel's Core i7-12700 (non-K) processor in the Geekbench 5 benchmark. The i7-12700 has a 65 W TDP and comes with 8 "Golden Cove" P-cores and 4 "Gracemont" E-cores.

The 12th Gen Core i7 is differentiated from the 12th Gen Core i9 by 4 fewer E-cores, a decrease in clockspeed, and the absence of features like Thermal Velocity Boost.

Core i7-12700, in single-threaded performance tests, scored 1595 points and 10170 points in multi-threaded testing. Its single-threaded performance is just 5% behind the Ryzen 7 5800X in the Geekbench database, and 2% behind it in the multi-threaded test. However, with the Intel 600-series chipset motherboards possibly having the same power-limit unlocks as the 400-series and 500-series, it's possible to gain greater performance.

it has to be stated though, it's just geekbench.

I7 twelve seven hundred tell me that doesn't have a ring to it.
i7 12700k, ooh i like the sound of that maybe jump on this one, especially as cpu prices these days are pretty good all things considered.
I hate building from ground up tho, too damn stressful.

Here it comes : these score are lower than expected and maching 5800x wont be enough.

This reminds me rocket lake first rumors of beating zen3 and we all know what happened next.

I wonder if AMD knew about the performance of Alder Lake, so they decided that to put it against Zen3+ with v-cache, instead of using Zen4 right away.

yes? Intel future CPU is as good as an imediately "last gen" Ryzen. Upgrades people, upgrades.

Smart idea, but bad for us. Why release something new when the competition can't even match your "old gen". When they get up, just release "improved" Zen4 under the Zen4 name.
