The Core i9-12900K will be Intel’s new flagship desktop processor model, offering 16 physical cores as well as the Ryzen 9 5950X, but that’s the end of it. At the same time, we can recall yesterday’s news, which concerned the same Alder Lake-S, but in the Ashes of the Singularity test. This test has not yet told us anything to build on, as it did not use the standard benchmark settings and the graphics were suspiciously high.
However, it turned out that the Core i9-12900K will probably not be a weak processor, and the performance of its strong P cores could be very interesting, which would be especially evident in games that can very rarely use such a large number of cores that the Core can effectively use even weaker S cores. However, the AotS engine should scale up to 16 cores.

But now we have the results of a certain Intel processor with a clock speed of up to 5300 MHz, 125W TDP, 8 + 8 cores and the resulting 24 fibers in Cinebench R23, ie the author blackened the name of the processor and other data, but he didn’t even have to, because it is clearly a Core i9-12900K. Server VideoCardz moreover, he noticed the poorly done censorship work, as it was enough to lighten the part of the picture a little and the caption appeared.-

The result of the multi-threaded test is 30549 points, while today’s Core i9-11900K generation Rocket Lake-S can of course not match it with its about 16200 points and the Ryzen 9 5950X with 16 cores offers around 28800 points, as shows, for example, this comparison.-
Unfortunately, single-threaded performance does not offer us results, but it is obvious that it will be really high in the case of P cores, because if the 16-core Alder Lake outperforms the same equipped Zen 3, it must match the handicap of weak S cores with its P core performance. .

The next two screenshots from CPU-Z reveal that a Gigabyte Z690 AORUS Ultra board with PCIe 5.0 support and 32 GB of DDR5-5200 memory with alleged four-channel connection was used, but this is due to the fact that one DDR5 module has two 32-bit channels internally instead of one 64-bit for DDR4, ie from the point of view of the CPU it is still a two-channel connection. By the way, the memory controller was working at half the physical frequency of the memory, namely 1300 MHz, which means that the 1: 1 ratio Alder Lake probably can’t handle, and the question is, what it will do mainly with latency.
