Intel’s 16-core flagship Alder Lake i9-12900K processor delivers a staggering performance improvement over it's predecessor (+70% 64-core). It features a new hybrid architecture which combines eight hyper-threaded performance cores with eight efficiency cores for a total of 24 threads. Alder Lake CPUs will require a new Z690 chipset which supports DDR5 memory and PCIe 5.0. At an MRSP of $590 USD, the i9-12900K is aimed at power users who demand the best of the best. That said, Intel’s 10-core 12600K matches the 12900K’s performance for the majority of consumer use cases at a 50% price discount. [Nov '21CPUPro]
i mean, it’s just fair these days. browsing the web with a less intensive browser like chromium works smooth. playing audio/video ain’t too bad. for youtube 720p video is as high as it can possibly get until bad lag. 1080p video quite laggy. paired with a mobility radeon 4250 256mb as integrated gpu, it gives about same performance as a 1st gen mobile i3/ 1st gen hd graphics (also known as gma hd) with an ssd it’s overall alright for basic tasks. to achieve what i got, go to amd vision settings, and set cpu clock speed to max (minimum and maximum) [Jun '22loik7]
