Intel Core i9-12900 somehow breaks UserBenchmark records on Asus ROG Maximus Z690 Extreme board despite a 4.25 GHz boost and massive CPU throttling

[Redaktion]

An Intel Core i9-12900 Alder Lake chip has been spotted being tested on an Asus ROG Maximus Z690 Extreme motherboard. The upcoming 16-core, 24-thread processor somehow managed to obliterate performance records on UserBenchmark, easily surpassing the average bench and 1-core scores of the Intel Core i9-11900K.

UserBenchmark - that's all I need to read to know it's a big load of bullshit

UserBenchmark IS RUBBISH, RUBBISH ARTICLE.

We're going to repeatedly acknowledge how trash and disrespected UBM's algorithm is, but that's not going to stop us churning out an article anyway

More free marketing for Intel that didn't cost them a cent. They are clever

It's worth noting that the benchmarks themselves on UBM are extremely accurate. It's the "effective speed" titbits and the CPU descriptions favouring Intel that people get frustrated about.

Nobody showed userbenchmarks tests to be bad. They disagreed with their editorial decisions (how they weighted results to come to conclusions). Individual tests should be fine
