The Intel Core 12s have already arrived in our hands, you have a review of them on this site, and we have to say that those of Pat Gelsinger have lived up to all expectations. And has the performance of new Intel processors made it the new king of PC processors.
One of the problems of the lack of competition is the fact that it causes immobility on the part of the company which benefits from it, the innovation is completely stopped and the new products hardly differ from those already launched, total, it there is no competition.
This is what had happened to the Intel hare for generations, as an AMD turtle gradually approached until it surpassed the performance of the processors of the company founded by Gordon Moore at the IPC level.
However, developing new hardware takes years and even though it seemed like the Blue Mark was underestimating its historic rival, nothing could be further from the truth and the doubts about the Intel Core 12 stemmed from an architecture developed under the mandate of Bob Swan. . We expected the new CEO’s revulsion to take years to manifest as it happened with AMD following the rise of Lisa Su, hence the surprising performance of the Intel Core 12.
Unanimity on the performance of the Intel Core 12
It’s true, in addition to our test of the i5-12600K and i9-12900K the rest of the trade press agrees on a common point, Intel has taken over the throne in terms of the most efficient processors for desktop PCs and has supplanted the AMD Ryzen 5000 out of it.
| Heart | Ryzen 5 5600X | Ryzen 7 5800X | Ryzen 9 5900X |
|---|---|---|---|
| i5-12600K / i5-12600KF | + 9.8% | + 5% | + 2.5% |
| i7-12700K / i7-12700KF | + 15% | + 9.9% | + 7.3% |
| i9-12900K / i9-12900KF | + 19.9% | + 14.7% | + 12% |
The tables you see above and below this paragraph you are reading right now are the performance difference between Core 12 processors and top performing architectures from Intel and AMD. The way it was obtained was through the information of the analyzes of various sites and the point of comparison was how they behave in the game in a comparative manner with each other.
| Heart | i5-11600K / i5-11600KF | i7-11700K / i7-11700KF | i9-11900K / i9-11900KF |
|---|---|---|---|
| i5-12600K / i5-12600KF | + 17.2% | + 11.2% | + 5.7% |
| i7-12700K / i7-12700KF | + 22.7% | + 16.5% | + 10.7% |
| i9-12900K / i9-12900KF | + 28.1% | + 21.5% | + 15.5% |
It should be noted how the i9-12900K / 12900KF looks 12% above in performance over the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X and a 15.5% advantage over the i9-11900K / 11900K. In any case, we must point out that as in any other processor, do not expect the CPI from one generation to the next to increase as promised, as this is only achieved through very synthetic benchmarks. controlled.
How will AMD react to the loss of the throne?
One of the things we’re looking forward to from the next CES is because we want to see AMD finally roll out their Ryzen 5000 XT or Ryzen 6000, whichever they call them in response to the new Intel Core 12. What? They’re doing it from the other On the flip side, the reality is that we can say that AMD was the one that underestimated Intel this time around.
As Lisa Su and her team face a huge dilemma, Zen 3 with V-Cache using 3DIC is neither cheap nor quick to manufacture, but right now it’s the only thing they have to do with it. the Intel Core 12 as the most sought after processors by those looking to have the best PC of the moment in terms of raw power.
