Splendid
Which will likely also mean that win10 will be an option at no detriment to performance!Indeed, specially since the 12400 wont have the efficient cores at disposal.

Which will make it immediately be a worse deal compared to the other 12 th gen with e cores since prices will not change, the 12400 will cost as much as the 11400 but won't have any ecores.
Any word on what Linux support for thread scheduling is like? I'm curious how this will affect server and workstation folks.
To date Intel has not posted any Linux kernel patches for providing any software optimizations around this hybrid architecture and the new Intel Thread Director. Hopefully they will soon but already it is too late for seeing in Linux 5.16.
For some workloads it was clear when they were pegging the E cores when instead should have been to P cores ... in terms of the intelligent handling between P and E cores, there is more work to be done for Linux.
Synthetic tests show Intel is faster, real world tests: application - lets say its on par, or Intel slower.
Synthetic tests show Intel is faster, real world tests: application - lets say its on par, or Intel slower. Gaming - TLDR shows 9% more FPS. But:
- with much higher power draw -> performance /watt lower by ~30 to 40%? power draw means bigger/costly cooling solution, more powerfull PSU etc.
Personally, what matters for me is low power, silence, efficiency and performance at real world tasks. As it goes for gaming, there is really not much to show from intel, especially these differences will show up only with the monster-type GPU. And I couldnt care more for difference between 140 and 150 fps in Far Cry.
The 12400 + B660 will be a favorite for gamers imo depending on the price of the B660 boards.Which will make it immediately be a worse deal compared to the other 12 th gen with e cores since prices will not change, the 12400 will cost as much as the 11400 but won't have any ecores.
Let's say ???
What are these Synthetic tests ?? Handbrake video encoding synthetic !?? Adobe premiere pro ?? 3d rendering benchmark like cinebench ? Microsoft excel ?/
Alder lake seem to be winning in most of these benchmarks.... Specially if you look at 12600K vs 5800X
12600KF cost only 299 dollars in newegg
https://www.newegg.com/intel-core-i...=12600KF&cm_re=12600KF-_-19-118-349-_-Product
5800X cost 394 dollars in newegg
https://www.newegg.com/amd-ryzen-7-...e=5800X-_-19-113-665-_-Product&quicklink=true
There is small difference in power consumption between 12600K and 5800X
12900K power consumption is high because of high default stock speed... Power consumption and clock speed don't have linear relation
According to other reviews I have seen, 12900K does not consume a lot of power when gaming (not higher than 5950X and 5900X).. It is only high when doing stress test or running heavy benchmark like blender..
I do agree gaming performance don't matter if you have 140 or 150.... Honestly I don't even care if I get 80 fps or 200fps
But 12600KF is better than 5800X anyway
- Because it faster in most applications., cheaper and consume almost same power...... So no reason to buy 5800X anymore unless you hardcore AMD fanboy.
So the thing is, its not cheaper if you factor in the cost of current LGA1700 motherboards and DDR5 RAM- Because it faster in most applications., cheaper and consume almost same power...... So no reason to buy 5800X anymore unless you hardcore AMD fanboy.
The loss of AVX512 is unfortunate because Intel engineering did an AMA not long ago where they stated that they're going to continue pushing AVX512. I'm expecting this to return on future iterations of this architecture once they sort out the additional complexity in the ISA. Intel is not going to confirm or deny that today. 🙂I'm going to build one of these anyway since I keep two rigs, but for someone looking to keep a machine further out, AVX512 has proven to be extremely potent when it's used.
I was a little curious about that. Then again, maybe they thought this chip might suffer in any AVX-512-related benchmarks?
If you have to turn off the ecores for it to work then it completely destroys the reason for them to bring out a big.bigger arch in the first place.I was a little curious about that. Then again, maybe they thought this chip might suffer in any AVX-512-related benchmarks?
Or maybe Linus Torvalds hurt Intel's feelings about it? Or maybe he's quite right about it?
It's not the sort of workload I'm at all familiar with, so.. 🤷♂️
It's ok, but I strongly suggest waiting it out some more months, or skipping to 13th gen - perhaps the Rzyen equivalent - entirely.
Haven't seen that many 12600K reviews yet - there might be a more compelling reason for 12th gen with that one.
Yeah. I like how someone in another comment section put it: 12th gen is kinda like Intel's version of Ryzen 1000.Skipping. Don't want to pay the DDR5 tax, don't want to deal with random incompatibilities.
We put Intel's new Core i9-12900K and Core i5-2600K through the wringer in Windows 10 and 11 testing with DDR4 and DDR5 memory.

I did know that Alder Lake supports DDR4. There does not seem to be a point in arguing with you, so I will just state my opinion. There is no point in getting a z690 board with DDR4 support because DDR5 performs the same or better in almost every scenario. Also DDR5 is only ever going to get faster as it matures so if you go a DDR4 board you will be gimping yourself later on. The 12600kf is only ever just slightly better than a 5800x with a 3090 playing games at 1080p which nearly nobody does. As soon as you go to 1440p+ or have lets say a 3060 ti, that performance difference melts. You also have to stick with Window 11 which is objectively terrible in its current state to actually take advantage of the new architecture. So I will not "accept and move on."I am astonished to see just how many people doesn't know that Alder Lake also supports cheap DDR4 memory. The i5-12600KF will still beat Ryzen 7-5800X even with DDR4 in both multi threaded and single threaded benchmarks and real world applications. The gaming scores will actually be even better with 12600KF using DDR4 vs DDR5 due to DDR4 having lower latency. So i5-12600KF is the ultimate value king. Just accept and move on.
I agree with all your other points but this one is just hyperbole, you are not forced to use the CPU at whatever the mobo happens to come at as default, you can go into the bios and select whatever power you want.5)Probably best to forget about air cooling this cpu for games. The power that can be generated in that small package appears to be too much for them.
Yes, some reviews have shown that air cooling is off the table for this cpu specifically in all core workloads, but there are some games out there that can do this to, or similar. They probably can be counted on your fingers, but they are there, and there will be more to come.
We don't know what this person plays, or what that person plays, or what they're going to play later on - better to play it safe and go liquid, 280mm or bigger.
The 11900K and 10900K can be cooled reasonably well on air, but not this one.
