Intel's next-gen beats AMD's existing gen
An engineering sample of Intel's next flagship processor, the i9-12900K, was shown to beat AMD's current flagship 5950X in Cinebench R20 by 18 percent in multi-core and 28 percent in single-core tests.
The next generation of Intel processors is believed to use a hybrid big.LITTLE design where eight of its 16 cores are for low power usage and eight are for full power. The low power cores only run-in single thread where the high power cores can run two threads.
No official word on pricing or release date from Intel though but engineering samples and B600 motherboards are being sold in China for $1,250 and $1,150.
Leaker OneRaichu, said the results for the 12900K were gathered using water-cooling and without overclocking, so it's possible the final score could be even higher. The rumours suggest the processor will come with 16 cores and 24 threads with a boost clock speed of up to 5.3GHz.
