Intel Core i9-12900K Beats AMD Ryzen 9 5950X in Leaked Geekbench Score

We recently saw the Intel Core i7-12700 appear on Geekbench 5 where it traded blows with the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X, we have now discovered the flagship Core i9-12900K also making an appearance. The benchmarked Intel Core i9-12900K features a hybrid design with 8 high-performance cores, 8 high-efficiency cores, and 24 threads running at a base clock of 3.2 GHz. The test was performed on a Windows 11 Pro machine allowing for full use of the Intel Thread Director technology paired with 32 GB of DDR5 memory. The processor achieved a single-core score of 1834/1893 in the two tests which gives it the highest score on the official Benchmarks coming in 12% faster than the Ryzen 9 5950X. The processor also achieved an impressive multi-core score of 17299/17370 which places it 3% above the Ryzen 9 5950X and 57% above the previous generation flagship 8-core i9-11900K. These leaked benchmarks highlight the impressive potential of Intel's upcoming 12th Generation Core series which is expected to launch in November.

RichardsAlder lake will be revolutionary on laptops
How? There is no reason for it.
I mean we have ARM chips, we also have different energy saving options already in the existing chips.
How would Alder Lake improve on these?

It will improve production.. plus intel has 90% share of mobile market thats 300 million cpu's shipped every year

Ah, Geekbench. The most irrelevant and biased test!

Intel doesn't have 90% mobile market share. More likely 80%.

Geekbench is as relevant and biased as all the other tests, the games, for example, are also heavily optimised for the Intel CPUs, and not for AMD's.
Some apps favour the Zen microarchitecture, the rest favour Intel's microarchitecture.

trparkyI thought that most of us around here don't care about Geekbench scores.
Had it been the only score you beat someone at, you would care as much as Intel does, doh... :D

More like 95%, when I check notebook offerings.

We even have ARM chips beaten by 4000 series Ryzen.

More like 80% :laugh: as if the10% matters. 80% market share is still a heck of a share.

Can't wait to see real tests of the new Intel CPU's

Alder lake beat Zen3 in Geekbench, so does Rocket lake. Relevant benchmarks please.

improved production is why you call the chip "revolutionary"? jeez....what a boring look at the industry....
and 90% of the market has zero to do with the claim that was made for which explanation was asked.

Lol lol lol

Isn't intel told us in pass, what benchmark don't represent real word score?

And now, then they have won in few scores they clapping hands

Sad very sad news

all about marketting.... stop user from buying amd and draw big cakes............ the cakes intel can deliver........... :P

1)GeekBench Alder Lake results are flooding in, so soon more interesting benchmarks are expected.
2)Alder Lake for desktops lacks AVX512, this means a 10% (I think) disantvantage compared to Rocket Lake in GeekBench.
3)12900K might or might not beat 5950x, but the real challenge should be to beat or match 6900x (or whatever 5900x's successor might be named), 8P+8e cores should perform like 12 big cores. 13900K will supposedly launch close and compete to 6950x. All this in theory, because at the end pricing will determine ranking and comparisons...

This is Windows 10 vs Windows 11, so it should be taken with a grain of salt. Also the 1890 score in single thread is not much different than the 1850 score of a 11900K so there doesn't seem to be much of an IPC increase in single thread.

Wait isn't it's turbo like 5.5ghz for this 12900K ?
wouldn't that be slower than 11900K at 5.3ghz ?

I'd take a Zen5 core to one whole CCD if it was to be 2-3 times faster than Zen3 in single thread while having SMT of 4 or more. I'll take what ever older Zen3/4 core they want want shrank in the same node next it for low power; But that's only a Dream lol

Its been widely reported that Zen4 IPC increase is 29%...add in that v-cache, a frequency bump from 5nm, and I just don't see alderlake beating Zen4, but we'll have to wait and see

oh, another of them, obvious that will happen... happening ... this is getting old (old like a future new gen beating a current/old gen )
3%? well that's impressive ...(yeah i know ... 24T vs 32T):wtf: 12% single core? a bit better but still ... wait and see is the deal ... as long as Zen 4 is not out ... i see zero point in these "it beat XXXX current gen by xx%!"

i would not be surprised of Intel getting "Intel'ish" and pricing these new one for the end of the year above the current offer to cash in on early adopter

oh well ... with a bit of luck i can strike a 5800X (5600X more likely) on the cheap once it happens, that would still be a worthy upgrade even without changing mobo.

trparkyI wonder how much of a power vampire this chip is going to be.
No kidding. Unless we start hearing rumors about vast gains in efficiency, I’d venture it’s going use Rocket Lake levels of juice when the performance cores are loaded. So far, the only claim is that the efficiency cores are really good, but I don’t think anyone expected otherwise since they have traditionally been designed for efficiency since the first Atom CPU. I wonder if AMD will dust off Kabini and make its own hybrid CPU?

Intel's new cpu's beating amd's current cpu's? New generation tech beating old generation tech? Shocking. It's almost as if common sense came knocking. The real test will be how intel's new cpu's stack up against amd's new cpu's.

Just saw the lastest Alder crap leak, this time they looked at the power consumption. The result no surprise, ridiculous power consumption so much for their uber process.

The leaks from ryzen 6950x show that it Got a tdp of 175 watt from 105 (5950x) so is not Just Intel..

You clearly don't get it. Intel advertises 125w tdp yet it consumes over 250w in PL2. All this from a supposedly much better silicon in a chip that's supposed to "sip" power. I know you clearly want to do this me too crap, but the rumor on the AMD side is a rumor suggesting various tdp up to 170w not 175w. It doesn't matter whatever the listed tdp is as long as it's real world is not a BS lie and it consumes twice that.
This slide which is roughly a year old states that these sixteen core parts will have a maximum TDP of 105W, so it’s possible that the 170W SKU will have either very high boost clocks or additional cores, but take both with a grain of salt for the time being.
Grain of salt hmm, nah let's just call it fact man. Same shit.

250W and 93C at stock.
And the leak suggests 350W for "run full"

Are they making another x299 ?

Well if it perform, people will still buy it no matter how much power it use. Look at how much people bought 3090.

It also make sense that the future Ryzen 7 core have a TDP up to 170w, Right now AMD have to bin those like crazy and only get the real best as they have the same power as the 8 core. This will allow AMD to ease on the binning either reducing *Their* cost and/or allowing them to produce more parts.
