With the release of Alder Lake less than a week away and the "Lakes" thread having turned into a nightmare to navigate I thought it might be a good time to start a discussion thread solely for Alder Lake.
You dont need DDR5 for 12600K and if you comparing ryzen without igpu then compare it to intel without GPU and thats 12600KF.This driving me nuts.People always comparing ryzen without igpus to 12600K/12700K/12900K with igpus.
And if you want ultimate bank for buck wait for non K cpus to drop in January. 12700F should cost around 300USD and 12400F bellow 200USD.
LTT said that DDR5 was faster for gaming with ADL. If you go DDR4 you save money but you end up closer to 5600X performance for gaming.
If you go cheapest DDR4 Z690 vs cheapest X570 then sure you can build a 12600K system for about the same kind of money as a 5600X system but we don't know how it performs in gaming. It might be slower. Of course if you are going cheap you have B550 for AMD which is going to save you £50 which can go towards something else, like a cooler which you don't really need on the 5600X build but will for the 12600KF build.
I'll take 10% slower performance for 17% cheaper price any day. And that's only accounting for the CPU price alone.
How about this, between the 12900k(f) and and the 5900x, whichever one gets a price cut after today is the silly-looking. Are you game? I wouldn't think so. Hehe.Yeah It'll make the i9 look even more silly.
1. He's comparing DDR5 4800 CL40 vs DDR4 3600 CL16 (DDR4 3600 CL16 is not JEDEC standard.不超频也能打！Intel Core i5 12600K 首发横评
自从 Zen3 发售以来，Intel 不得不靠低价来撑住整个市场，Zen3 的游戏性能过于夸张，甚至将刚出生几天的 11 代处理器暴打。 当然最惨的还是 i5 系列了，5600X 可以说是将 10600K 和 11600K 按在地上摩擦，同时 AMD…zhuanlan.zhihu.com
Chinese review. Course may be fake. DDR4 is consistently faster than DDR5 although the difference isn't much. AMD results were from Windows 10. If more games ran like Far Cry 6 (I guess that's Far Cry 6), that would get people's attention.

On Newegg right now the 5900x is $524. 12900KF is $630.Genuinely confused by these 5900x pricing comments. The MSRP of the 5900x is $549.00 according to AMD. The 12900k is $589.00. That is a $40 difference. (less than 8%). Sure you can find the 5900x $20 cheaper if you shop around, but it has been out for a year and it will be replaced or discounted in January. Meanwhile the 12900k isn’t even released yet (releases today).
5900X is best positioned in terms of price. The ones that need a price cut are the 5800X and 5600X.How about this, between the 12900k(f) and and the 5900x, whichever one gets a price cut after today is the silly-looking. Are you game? I wouldn't think so. Hehe.

Or is it 9 am ??? I don't think we had confirmation.iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit's.........................TIME!
If they have 16 P-Core ADL it would be instant buy for me.Eye watering performance overall, beating proper 16 cores made by AMD and released just a year ago is amazing.
Windows 10 scheduler + ADL hybrid = disaster
while Windows 11 is shining, that is good news overall, maybe i won't need to disable the E cores after all? maybe.
Oh and 2k GB5 ST is just incredible.
To see how it plays out in a more practical test, we then simultaneously recorded the power consumption of both systems while Procyon 2.0 is running Photoshop and Lightroom Classic. You can see the Ryzen 9 is actually using more power than the 12th gen Core i9 in both applications. The upshot is that yes, the 12th-gen Core i9 can indeed guzzle down the electricity, but in actual practical use, it tends to be fairly energy efficient.
