Intel Core i9-12900K Qualification Sample Reportedly Beats AMD Ryzen 9 5950X
The Intel Core i9-12900K is the companies upcoming flagship 12th Generation Alder Lake-S processor featuring a hybrid design with 8 high-performance cores and 8 high-efficiency cores. The qualification sample for the processor reportedly features a base clock of 3.9 GHz and a boost clock of 5.3 GHz which is less than initial rumors which claimed boost speeds could reach 5.5 GHz. The processor achieved a multi-core score of 11300 points in Cinebench R20 which is 800 points higher than AMD's flagship Ryzen 9 5950X. Intel's 12th Generation Alder Lake-S processors will be manufactured on the 10 nm Enhanced SuperFin node and will include support for PCIe 5.0 and DDR5. Intel is expected to announce the processors in Q3 2021 for a Q4 2021 release which will position them against AMD's upcoming V-Cache technology expected to arrive in early 2022.

The important thing is not to fall into P4 "PressHot" cycle where AMD could charge 1000+ bucks for their top of the line mainstream chips due to lack of competition.
Im reasonably certain Intel can avoid that this time. Atleast on mainstream and mobile. Im far more pessimistic about their chanches on server and HEDT tho.
Anywho even if it would come close, it would be impressive given the core deficit.
No doubt intel will ask a rediculous amount of.money for it and you need windows 11 so we will see how it does.
Also, can we get chips that don't need 300W to reach what the box says, Intel, please?
But it's going to be good for Intel and those who still buys Intel cpu, that they finally moves away from 14 nm. But there hybrid core arkitektur. I think is great for laptops and other battery powered systems. However for desktop use, I would not have any use of it. I prefer more powerful cores.
Anyone remember the 11th Gen was said to be faster then AMD as well and ended up NOT been the case? (Desktop)
Sorry I think this is fud till I see independent reviews .
With respect to what's best for consumers, I would argue that we still need at least 3-5 years more of AMD being on top for them to capture enough of the x86 T.A.M. across all sectors to ensure that they have enough market penetration and financial success to guarantee that they can maintain all their gains for the foreseeable future. If AMD's post-Zen gains are rolled back over the next several years, we could easily return to the era of complete stagnation and less than 5% generation over generation performance gains that Intel presided over prior to the release of the Zen architecture.... And I would assume that nobody wants to return to those dark ages.
Yeah, I was right the first time, a 29% IPC uplift:
