This is what Intel are capable of, and what they've done before (think Core 2 and Sandy Bridge releases) - but they have to be forced into doing it. I just hope that Zen 4 is really good otherwise Intel will spend years sandbagging again.

Lets see how many watts it consumes. An 8% to 38% performance increase with (for example) a 50% power usage increase... would not be a good thing at all. Lets see.

The 5950 being much older ripped it on multi-core performance. But, it seems these days all we get are leaked benchmarks for Intel.

Drugs are bad. Intel hasnt been sandbagging since Zen 1 launched 5 years ago. And anyone getting hard off of Intels leaked geekbench scores is a max level fangirl clown.

Please express yourself like an adult... Just expressing opinions and insulting isn't going to make your point any more valid.

As expected performance increase, but can they attain the same power consumption as on i5-12600K? I'd expect so, since gaining that much more single core performance is definitely possible with small architectural tweaks and raise on clock speed. Not particularily impressive in my opinion, AMD is going to give something better if this is indeed what they are capable of, but what can you realistically achieve on the same process node honestly (Intel 7, 10 nm). Since the yet improved E-cores really boost the multicore speed, AMD is likely forced to offer eight cores to really be competitive for the same price, because it seems new 600 series motherboards are going to be more expensive overall, which will diminish AMD's price advantage.

I think the 13400 will be the most intriguing.

I dont like as it has only 6 P cores this is the same desigh flaw as 13900k. Nothing is imroved they are only adding more E cores to make cinebench look better. Games will run same as on 12600k.

I wanted 16 x p-cores, but people don't want to pay for it on "mainstream" platform. Want the real HEDTH back; "Best" multicore performance, low latency and enough pci-lanes. One cpu to rule them all.

I agree, I don't need e-cores at all, but I was a fan and buyer of the enthusiast platform.

Not sure what all the fuss is about, I'll bet its 6p cores will mop the floor with any other current CPU in gaming, incl the few multi-threaded games that use more than 6 threads. Looks like a solid multi-functional CPU thats great in all tasks incl gaming.

I know of a few games that scale nicely with more than 6 cores but mostly 6 core is fine. Personally after educating myself as to why my shiny new i7 920 wasn't faster in games back in the day I like a narrower CPU with faster cores rather than go wide to 'future proof' it. Even Cyberpunk, which takes a lot of CPU with RT performs fine with the 5600. The numbers make the 13600K seem compelling but we will see about power/thermals.

Someone that as experience with Alder Lake can attest this question? If you run Windows 10, suposelly the scheduller was not prepared for managing pcores and ecores, but deactivating the ecores, this problems with scheduller will not occur because on that environment the cores are same?

Are you saying that adding more cache won't improve the gaming performance?

"The P-cores and E-cores share 24 MB of L3 cache, increased from 20 MB on the i5-12600K"

More L2 cache too. 1.25MB to 2MB per core? Maybe faster cache too.

I think this is what you guys want: 13700k 8p/8e. Core threads 16/24 , 54mb cache , $ (?) benches [spoiler]
