German user TweakPC has published up-to-the-minute benchmark test results of the 9-core Intel Core i12900-16K, 7-core Core i12700-12K, and 5-core Core i12600-10K CPUs. All those SKUs will be officially launched tomorrow for the Intel Alder Lake series, so that day it is expected that all official embargo on these processors and the evidence that the media that have had access to them will be lifted.
The website tested the flagship model with four different power limit settings. As previously reported, with Alder Lake, Intel introduces a new naming scheme for power consumption figures, replacing the classic TDP with Processor Base Power, and PL2 (Power Limit 2) with Maximum Turbo Power.
This is how three 12th Generation Intel Core Alder LAke models go in benchmarks
According to the results, the Core i9-12900K, the most powerful of this series; You get almost 28% more performance with an increased power limit from 125W (PBP) to 241W (MTP). The test was done with a liquid cooling, which prevented the CPU from overheating to more than 81 ° C.
The CPU was also tested with a Dark Rock Pro 4 air heatsink, showing slightly different results. With the power limit set to maximum, the CPU has quickly reached 100 ° C in just 4 minutes after starting the test.
The Intel Alder Lake-S flagship CPU wasn't the only one tested by user TweakPC. Cinebench R20 and R23 results were also shared for 12-core and 10-core K-series CPUs. Core i7-12700K reaches 241W (MTP) and scores of 22689 in Cinebenchr23 MT and 8658 in Cinebench R20 MT, while the Core i5-12600K reaches 202W (MTP), 12318 points and 6669 points respectively. Normally it would be said that these benchmarks are merely indicative as they are possibly product tests, but since the final launch of Intel Alder Lake is tomorrow, it is possible that these benchmarks are much more indicative of the capabilities of the CPUs tested compared to benchmarks that are have been filtering these months.
