Intel Alder Lake-S flagship Core i9-12900K SKU cleans AMD’s clock
 

Ashes to ashes

Multiple Ashes of the Singularity: Escalation benchmarks have leaked in the past few hours for Intel's upcoming Alder Lake-S flagship Core i9-12900K SKU.

According to Neowin the processor is a 16 core, 24 thread (16C/24T) part, and it seems Intel or its motherboard vendor partners have been testing these upcoming processors.

A benchmark using the 1440p High preset paired with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080, and a comparable system with a 16C/32T AMD Ryzen 9 5950X is easily defeated by the upcoming Intel desktop CPU.

The i9-12900K appears to be around 40 percent faster than the AMD flagship SKU on average across all batches as it hits 146.6 fps against the Ryzen 9 5950X's 104.6. The latter is one of the fastest CPUs in AotS:E currently available for purchase.
