Today, Intel has released the 12th generation of its Core and Core processors Alder Lake. The Phoronix server tested the performance of the Core i5 12600K and Core i9 12900K processors on Linux. The processors have a hybrid architecture with small and large cores. Large cores Golden Cove they have HT, while small nuclei Gracemont No. The 12600K processor has 6 large and 4 small cores, a total of 16 threads, and the 12900K processor has 8 large and 8 small cores, a total of 24 threads. The most interesting is the comparison with the flagship AMD Ryzen 9 5950X, which has 16 HT cores and 32 fibers.
In Phoronix server tests on average, the Intel i9 12600K won over the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X by about 3%. At present, Linux cannot make full use of the hybrid architecture of Intel processors, so we will probably see even better performance in the future. The disadvantage of Intel is the high consumption, during the test the peak consumption of 12600K was 260 W, while the peak consumption of AMD Ryzen 9 5950X was only 150 W. The estimated price of the new 12600K is only $ 590, while the 5950X sells for $ 750.
