Intel Core i9-12900K outperforms Ryzen 9 5950X in multicore –

It seems that after various rumors the predictions came true, the Intel Core i9-12900K multicore outperforms Ryzen 9 5950X.

This information comes thanks to Bilibili enthusiastic citizens stroke strange, which posted results from the next processor Alder Lake Core i9 with all ‘big’ cores overclocked to 5.2 GHz.

As we can see in the CPU-Z capture, the Intel Core i9-12900K scored 851 points in the single-threaded test and 11987 points in the multi-threaded test. This is only a small fraction higher than previously reported results, but it is the first time the CPU has outperformed the stock Ryzen 9 5950X in the multi-threaded test.

Bilibili Enthusiastic Citizen Stroke Monster It overclocked all the Golden Cove / Performance / Big cores to 5.2 GHz while keeping the Gracemont / Efficient / Atom / Small cores in stock at 3.7 GHz. Remember that the Intel 12th Gen Core series introduces a new overclocking setting that will allow users to modify clocks for each type of core.

In this way we can see how the Core i9-12900K with a clock speed of 5.2 GHz and voltage of 1.385V has a power consumption of 330W, which is 2.64x more than the ‘stock’ PL1 value of 125W, something that there is to take into account if we put it together with a GPU type 3080Ti or 3090 with 450W bios.

Unfortunately, in these tests it is not reflected that the operating system was installed, nor the type of dissipation used to contain those 330W, nor has the board used or what type of memory, whether DDR4 or DDR5. Although at least it can be confirmed that the CPU-Z software correctly reads the specifications and the name of the CPU.
