Intel Core i5-12600K 47% Faster Than Ryzen 5 5600X in Leaked CPU-Z Benchmark

[GreiverBlade]

Ahem.. No you are a red fan.

nice try but, nope.

but once the next gen from AMD is here then we can talk, well early adopter will always early adopt, i, on the other hand, will wait and see.

the bold part imply that if "blue" get top i will considere switching again (not before "red" has his next gen up and reviewed ofc)... as i have no brand loyalty... (although it will be heavily weighted by pricing, and i have little hope for any of the 2 next gen platform i guess my current rig will last as long as it can, maybe with a CPU upgrade, since i got the current one i have for free and 5XXX is still an option with a B550, and maybe a GPU once the massive overprice subside ... well i have also little hope on that ... GPU were always overpriced where i live, my 1070 was already 127$ above msrp at the time i got her, and the 6600k i had for CPU before was around 300$, which would be around the price of the mobo+CPU i have now granted i got the mobo for 99 and the CPU is 199 atm )

see you on the next "next XXX gen beat current XXX gen" PR

You can't legitimately do core to core comparisons between big.LITTLE and what went before. That type comparison will make it easy to come up with red herring arguments I'm sure, but in the end the only thing that matters or has ever really mattered is a combination of cost / performance / efficiency.

Ultimately the comparison will and should be based on price points. Based on what little has leaked on price and assuming it is accurate, AL should force all of the AMD Zen 3 chips down $50-$100 from current prices. If comparisons are done at MSRP as they usually do, AMD will suffer badly until they adjust their MSRPs. Regardless of which brand you prefer, I don't see any of that as a bad thing.

I was talking about Intel and there performance.
Clearly you can compare new to old, this thread lives.
I am happy to let the review and markets decide which to buy but my point was, 50% extra performance with those big core's and four extra, it's not enough.
IMHO.

It all comes down to performance/$ for most people, and that's street price not MSRP.

5600X has the advantage over the 11600K since you don't need to fork out for a Z590 chipset to use RAM of a decent speed. So it's either cheaper or faster depending on whether you buy a Z590 board.

Both the 5600X and 11600K are being largely ignored by the consumer market though, because the 10400F and 11500F offer enough performance and vastly better performance/$ even when using a locked B560 chipset and 2933MHz DDR4. If anything, AMD's refusal to sell a vanilla R55 5600 is hurting them because the vanilla R5 3600 was their best selling CPU last generation thanks to its strong performance and affordable selection of motherboards.

If Alder Lake is good and the leaked performance is valid across more benchmarks and real-world scenarios, the real decider will be what price Intel charge for it, followed by availabiliy and what price that ends up being at retail for a paying customer. i5-12600K may well beat 5600X but if the premium pushes it into the price territory of a B550 board and 5800X or even 5900X, it's going to fare poorly. We will simply have to wait and see how the dust settles after launch and after reviews.

Lack of availability on 3300X was unfortunate for AMD. Good chip, but bad availability. They can overclock well also I believe.

These things are all a matter of perspective, I think you're speaking from a DIY viewpoint.

It's interesting to note, the #1 selling CPU on Amazon is the 5800X followed by 5950X. Neither of these are low end. However, the #1 selling PC is a 11600K @$1500, #2 is an AIO with a 3050U and that is the only AMD CPU in the top 10 selling OEM / prebuilt desktop list - the entire rig costs less than a 5900X. #4, #6, and #7 are all 10400's. At the moment you don't see another AMD until #15 and that's another AIO 3150U.

But AMD seems to dominate in the DIY space. Looking at Microcenter I see the same thing for individual chips as at Amazon, Intel has a few chips in the top 10 but AMD always seems to have #1/#2.

It'll be interesting to see if the DIY rankings change with AL.

Pre-builts are the majority of the desktop market

Oh right, sorry - was confusing the RAM speed lock between non-K chips in B560 boards and K-series overclocking requiring a Z-series board. It's all stupid product segmentation BS.
Not sure what you linked the board temperature chart for though.... ?

Either way, you can drop a 5600X into almost any B450/A520 board starting from about $60 which is $30-40 less than the cheapest B560 boards, and almost perfectly cancels out the price difference between an 11600K and 5600X. I guess if you need PCIe 4.0 storage, 11600K+B560 is cheaper than 5600X+B550 but if you need PCIe 4.0 storage you shouldn't be looking at 6-core CPUs in the first place.
Either way, I'm not here to argue minutae as that's getting off-topic: Read the reviews and buy whatever makes sense for you doing whatever you want to do.

As a gamer, a stock 5600X in a cheap board is better than even an overclocked 11600K on Z590.
As a non-gamer, it's a wash with minor advantage going to the OC'd 11600K on Z590 vs a stock 5600X.

Intel Core i5-11600K Review - Impressive Value

The Core i5-11600K is Intel's mid-range entry using the Rocket Lake architecture. Our review confirms that it is a great alternative to AMD's overpriced Ryzen 5 5600X, offering similar performance at almost $100 less. The i5-11660K is also fast enough to compete with last generation's 8-core...

That's why I'm all about the B560 boards and locked cpu's. Cheaper, runs cooler and you don't gain much in performance these days by oc.

Honestly, with both Intel and AMD, overclocking is basically stupid now. Intel's unlocked PL2 is stupid enough as it is, whilst cooling a Zen3 chip with aggressive PBO+ is also pretty ugly.

You leave a tiny bit of performance on the table but both Rocket Lake and Zen3 are very easy to thermally manage if you don't OC either (and that includes disabling PBO on Ryzen). The normal stock "boost" algorithms are pretty damn decent whether you use blue team or red team.

 

[arepakiller]

5600x is almost a year old. What are you going to brag about next, beating a toddler in boxing?

1 year old CPU isn't that old dude.

Akshually, we've got the hang of that. You can tune in the PBO settings quite accurately these days and get max speeds without the temps... it's like that final 1% of performance can have 50W thrown at it.

 

[InVasMani]

I imagine with Gear 1 vs Gear 2 for memory if you're trying to run 4 DIMM's of high performance DDR4 or DDR5 it helps substantially on stability.

It's this old chestnut; Where do you want to be on the performance-efficiency curve?

Those three points are PB2 disabled, PBO disabled (so "stock" PB2 operation), and PBO defaults. Sure, you can tune PBO to have lower power use but even regular PB is good enough to get you like 95% of the performance you're going to realistically get in normal workloads, and it doesn't require an expensive motherboard, expensive cooling, or an understanding of how to successfully tweak PBO. No matter how much you tune PBO you're unlikely to go very much faster than the default PB2 boost on any single thread and you might get an all-core best-case of 10% more performance for only 50% more power (instead of 100% more power that default PBO will get you on a high-end board)

I akshually use custom PBO settings to underclock my 3600XT - it's in a restrictive case and must run inaudibly so I let it boost but only up to 100W as I want to keep temperatures in check and the CPU fan spinning slowly. 100W PPT translates to something like an effective 75W TDP.

 

[Mussels]

PBO on just blows some chips out of the water to stupid settings, AMD never actually tuned them per CPU series

Tuned PBO is absolutely the way to go - just did it to my 3700xt (I never checked and the x370 board its on did get PBO2 support) and now its doing 4.0 all core, 4.3 single and under 60c from a measly 120mm air cooler

Well amazing how people get impressed by synthetic benchmarks. Look at the scores those PCI-E 4 NVME SSD's achieve, yet in the real world they barely make a difference to user experience, unmless you do large sequential transfers all day long.

I'll will be impressed when I see Alder Lake vs Zen3/3+ running intense FP64 heavy simulations, PS, Matlab, 8K video rendering, etc. I couldn't care less if it crushes Zen in 1080p, because at higher res it matters not.

I have no reservations that Alder Lake is a huge leap for Intel, but let's see at what power usage. However, for me Raptor Lake is well worth waiting for as it will bring 25% IPC uplifts over Golden cove cores alone, and hopefully on refined node will lower power usage. Zen4 also will be huge uplift and will be the biggest architectural change for AMD. Intel may well win bragging rights this year, but I couldn't care less. We need strong competition, and I wouldn't reward Intel at this stage. My next update will be replacing my 1700X in Q1 2023. Will it be Zen 4 or Raptor Lake, only time will tell.

Could mean a board change due to ddr5 if a Ryzen 6000 is not DDR4. I just nabbed a 5800 for under 300 on ebay due to false advertising as an X
