Intel Core i9-12900K appears in the BaseMark benchmark database
According to previously leaked information, Intel’s upcoming Core i9-12900K will be configured with 8 Golden Cove performance (large) cores and 8 Gracemont efficiency (small) cores (no hyperthreading). Its base frequency is 3.9 GHz, turbo frequency is 5.3 GHz, PL1 is 125W, PL2 is 228W. In Cinebench R20, its single-threaded benchmark test score exceeded 810, and the multi-threaded benchmark test score exceeded 11,600, which is better than any current LGA 1200 and AM4 platform processors.
Recently, the Core i9-12900K appeared in the BaseMark benchmark database. Probably because the Alder Lake processor uses the big.LITTLE hybrid architecture, which is currently not recognized by BaseMark. The 16 cores and 24 threads of the original processor are identified as 12 cores. Divide the number of threads by 2, and the frequency is displayed as 3.2 GHz. The Acer Z69H6-AM motherboard is used. This may be Acer’s own Z690 platform, such as a desktop game console.
The test platform uses the Windows 22000.132 version, which is the latest beta version of Windows 11. In the BaseMark High DirectX 12 GPU performance test, the system score is 17,744 points, which is basically the same as the existing GeForce RTX 3080 score.
It is understood that Intel has provided samples of Alder Lake-S processors to partners and OEM manufacturers for verification and related optimization work. It is reported that Intel plans to release the 12th generation Core series processors in October or November 2021 (approximately between October 25 and November 19). The first Alder Lake-S processor has only “K” and “KF” suffix products and the Z690 chipset. The remaining 12th generation Core series processors, as well as the H670, B660, and B610 chipsets will not be released until CES 2022.
