Benchmark data shows that Intel Alder Lake-S performance has actually not improved much
Earlier, Intel announced the launch of the Alder Lake-S processor with big.LITTLE hybrid architecture. Intel said that the processor has significantly improved performance.
Thanks to the combination of one efficiency core and one high-performance core, the performance of the Intel Alder Lake-S processor is about 19% higher than that of the previous generation processor.
Intel also claimed that in order to improve the call efficiency of different cores, the company developed a dedicated thread director and cooperated with Microsoft to optimize it through Windows 11.
However, although the publicity sounds very exciting, the leaked benchmark data shows that Intel Alder Lake-S performance has actually not improved much.

Twitter user @BenchLeaks, who focuses on benchmark data, found the data of Core i9-12900K from Puget Systems’ PugetBench.
The hardware combination equipped with this processor is ASUS ROG STRIX Z690 motherboard + NVIDIA RTX 3090 graphics card, and the memory is DDR5-4800 64GB.
The score of Adobe AE tested is between 1541 and 1575, which is similar to the score of Rocket Lake-S Core i9-11900K with 8 cores and 16 threads.

Intel Core i9-11900K scores 1548 when using 64GB of DDR4-2133 memory. Even if the highest score is calculated at Core i9-12900K, it is only 11.5% higher than Intel Core i9-11900K 11900K.
These benchmark test data can still be used as a reference. After all, Intel said in its publicity that it will bring more significant performance improvements in the real world.
At the press conference, Intel also clearly stated that the Intel Alder Lake-S series processors can only play the best performance when paired with the Windows 11 system.
The reason is that Intel cooperated with Microsoft to optimize the thread director in Windows 11 to achieve the three correctness, and other systems may not be able to achieve the best performance.
The so-called three corrects refer to allowing the operating system to put the correct thread on the correct core at the correct time, thereby greatly improving processing efficiency.
The leaked benchmark test is based on the Windows 10 Build 19043 version. Currently, Intel has not responded to these leaked data.
