Intel Core i7-12700K vs AMD Ryzen 7 5800X CPU Test – Medium Alder Lake. Comparison of DDR4 and DDR5 memory performance

The first tests of Intel Alder Lake processors focused on two models – Core i5-12600K and Core i9-12900K – but there is another unit that enters the family. The Intel Core i7-12700K was slightly neglected, just like the Core i7-11700K before, although it turned out to be much more interesting than the flagship. Will the average Alder Lake also be a wizard worthy of attention? Of course, it all depends on how it performs against the rival AMD Ryzen 7 5800X. The Intel competitor offers more cores and threads, has an integrated graphics chip, and should also be cheaper. Everything indicates that Core i7-12700F can surprise favorably.

Intel Alder Lake is the first hybrid architecture Treatments Available at Computers Desktop, made with the large LITTLE standard commonly used in the mobile industry, where power-saving systems using ARM architecture dominate. As a result, two types of x86 cores were introduced – the performance core and the efficiency core. The former provides up to a 28% increase in single-thread efficiency compared to Comet Lake, while the latter offers similar performance, but with much lower power consumption. Treatments The 12th generation Intel Core is built in Intel 7 lithography, formerly known as 10nm Enhanced SuperFin, an improved 10nm process, definitively closing the 14nm era. The new architecture brought about fundamental changes in the algorithms for decoding instructions, rebuilding the memory subsystem, introducing faster interfaces, and improving the systems responsible for power management and internal communications. This also applies to coordinating the performance and efficiency core cores entrusted to the integrated ThreadDirector technology, based on a number of telemetry data. There is also new motherboards I RAM DDR5. In short – Intel has made the biggest quantum leap since the introduction of the Skylake architecture in 2015, setting a whole new direction for future hardware platforms. Is this correct? we will see…

The Intel Core i7-12700K is an interesting processor that has a good chance of ditching the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X – it offers more cores and threads, an integrated graphics chip and in theory should be cheaper.

Intel Core i7-12700K to Healer With 8 P-Core (Golden Cove) cores, just like the strongest Intel Core i9-12900 K, although the number of E-Core (Gracemont) cores here is 4, as in Intel Core i5-12600K. In addition, remember that support for multi-threading has been reserved only for the most efficient computing units. Finally reviewed Healer It can perform 20 subjects, which is a significant advance over its predecessors and competition. After all, the Intel Core i7-12700K is much closer to the aforementioned AMD Ryzen 7 5800X, than the more expensive AMD Ryzen 9 5900X, its direct competitor being the top Intel Core i9-12900 K. The average Alder Lake got 25MB of L3 cache, again placing it exactly between the Core i5 and Core i9. Clock speeds for performance and efficiency cores of course vary – the first working in the 3600-5000 MHz range, the second 2700-3800 MHz, depending on the load and specific power limits. motherboards. It should also be remembered that the Intel Core i7-12700K does not have a Turbo Boost 3.0 mode, which is only intended for Core i9 models. Traditionally, the box also does not include the set cooling.

Intel Core i9-12900K Alder Lake processor test against AMD Ryzen 9 5900X. DDR4 vs DDR5 RAM Performance Comparison

Intel Core i7-12700K received the console RAM Supports two standards – DDR4 and DDR5 – depending on the standard used Motherboard. The timing intervals were kept, with the Rocket Lake pattern being 1:1 (Gear1) and 1:2 (Gear2), but additionally 1:4 (Gear4) was added. Brief summary On the graphs you will find two test results Healer – Basic with DDR4 3600 MHz CL18 modules, but as an accessory I added another one DDR5 Kingston Fury Beast 5200MHz CL38. The group worked with the CL 40 at the factory, but all order timings were set 1/2/3 as in previous articles. The results shown are only indicative, because the first set has a capacity of 16 GB (2 x 8 GB), and the second is 32 GB (2 x 16 GB), because the currently available DDR5 is only available in the 32 GB variants. anyway RAM It can be selected at will, Alder Lake definitely requires a new hardware platform LGA 1700, which includes motherboards With Intel 600 chipset. Suitable clips for the system are also required cooling HealerBecause the mounting hole spacing has changed.
