The upcoming flagship Intel Core i9-12900K has recently appeared in a CPU-Z single-thread synthetic benchmark where the processor scored 825 points. This would place the i9-12900K 27% higher than AMD Ryzen 9 5950X with 648 points and 20% faster then the previous generation Core i9-11900K at 682 points. This leak comes after SiSoftware published an early performance overview which showed the i9-12900K only matching the performance of competitors. We have also seen the processor in Cinebench R23 where it bested the 32-core AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX HEDT processor. The 12th Generation Intel Core family is expected to be announced later this year alongside the Z690 chipset with the i9-12900K rumored to cost 604.99 USD.
 
I'll reserve judgment on this processor until final reviews become available. 
 
 

Nice single thread!

Intel's always been the single-thread king. AMD closed the gap pretty admirably, but I'm hugely skeptical of Intel's attempt at higher core counts here.

Intel try to reduce their TDP in some scenarios...

I'm curious if and when AMD will offer a competitor CPU against this next gen Intel CPU. 

I think 1-2Q 2022 we will see some interesting AMD cpu.

if true - good.  Keep that competition going ....  

Wondering if buying a 11600k at launch was maybe a bad idea haha. Not quiet ready to jump onto ddr5 just yet though
