New details are revealed today about the Intel Core i9-12900k processor, which should be announced at the end of this month of October.
The i9-12900K beats the R9-5950X on 3DMark
Coming from the same reviewer as in our previous news about the i9-12900K, we have the right today to a little more information, including performance under 3DMark or in game.
The test configuration has been revealed, with of course the i9-12900K accompanied by 16 GB of DDR4 RAM at 3866 MT/s CL14 all in Gear 1. For the cooling, we are on a simple PCcooler K4000 (thus explaining the temperature of 108 ° previously reported on AIDA64), but the motherboard has not been disclosed.
On Fire Strike and Time Spy Extreme, the i9-12900K performs very well, reaching respective scores of 41,477 and 9004 points for the CPU results, in comparison we had obtained during our test of the Ryzen 9 5950X scores of 39700 and 8724 points. The 12900K thus outperforms the 5950X by 3-4%, all with 8 fewer threads, but higher frequencies.
Then, 5 games were tested with this CPU, but the GPU being only an RX 6600 and not a high-end GPU as used for this kind of test, making the results difficult to compare.
Thus, out of the 5 games tested (to be found on the source), there is for example Counter-Strike: Global Offensive with an average of 507 FPS obtained in the test integrated into the game or Forza Horizon 4 with 384 FPS on average for the CPU simulation and 229 FPS for the CPU Render.
