Alleged Intel i9-12900K coupled with DDR5-5200 RAM beats the R9 5950X by a few thousand points in latest leaked Cinebench R23 multi-core test

[Redaktion]

The two processors were tied at around 26,000 points in the previously leaked benchmarks, but now the Alder Lake model breaks the 30,000 point threshold. AMD users will quickly point out that the R9 5950X can easily be tweaked to score above 31,000 points, but keep in mind that the Intel CPU is not overclocked in this scenario. It does, however, benefit from increased memory bandwidth from a DDR5-5200 RAM kit.

Wrong comparison...is it fair comparison?
Just Check both CPU with same platform..Do Ryzen 5950X support DDR5?

Intel is still way behind in the processor race. First, chip is released several months behind.
Second, TDP is much higher on the Intel chip.
Still just a emergency release to keep gamers thinking of Intel whe and affordability is a big question when choosing between AMD or Intel.
Crazy good performance you get from AMD, which really pushes Intel on profit.

The more I read about Alder Lake, the less impressive it seems. This is almost turning into another Rocket Lake fiasco.

So, we don't actually know it was running at stock clocks, stock power limits and so on. Power limit is a huge deal on Intel. Also, is that a single pass or a standard R23 ten minute test?

I don't understand how  no one is impressed. My 5950X with PBO and curve optimizer barely breaks 30k. Intel is running 8 fast cores with HT and 8 slower power efficient cores, and matches 16 Zen 2 cores. I don't know how much of that is DDR5, but with how relatively bad the timings are I can't imagine it makes a huge difference.
