Core i9-12900K appeared on Geekbench 5

Although Intel will not disclose the specific specifications of the Alder Lake processor in the short term, the news has been revealed from various channels. The flagship processor of the desktop is naturally Core i9-12900K, which has 8 performance cores and 8 performance cores, the performance core Golden Cove supports hyper-threading, while the performance core Gracemont does not support. a total of 16 cores and 24 threads, L3 cache is 30MB, the highest core frequency of the performance core is 5.3GHz, the frequency of all cores is 5GHz, the highest core frequency of the performance core is 3.9GHz, the frequency of all cores is 3.7GHz, PL1 is 125W, PL2 is 228W.
In the Geekbench 5 database, there are already Core i9-12900K running scores with Windows 11 system. At present, this page has been hidden. The test platform uses 32GB DDR5-4800 memory, which should be running on the timing of the JEDEC specification. The motherboard is Intel’s reference and verification platform, which should be Intel’s internal testing.

The Geekbench 5 single-thread score of the Core i9-12900K is 1893, and the multi-thread score is 17299. This score is higher than AMD 16-core flagship Ryzen 9 5950X. Ryzen 9 5950X’s score is 1691 for single thread and 16724 for multithread. Core i9-12900K is 12% and 3% higher than it, respectively. The current Core i9-11900K single-threaded score is 1856, multi-threaded is 10995, and the performance of Core i9-12900K has increased by 2% and 57%. Compared with Rocket Lake, the performance improvement of Alder Lake is still very large.
Of course, the results of Ryzen 9 5950X were run under Windows 10. I don’t know if there will be any changes when Ryzen 9 5950X was tested on Windows 11. Moreover, after Alder Lake comes out, it is facing the new Zen 3 series processor with 3D V-Cache. A substantial increase in L3 cache will inevitably improve the efficiency of the processor. As for Zen 4, when it comes out, it may face Raptor Lake, the successor to Alder Lake.
