Alder Lake-S leaks

any idea why the 12900k on ocuk has jumped up £100? was the £550 before an introduction offer?

It was £599.99 but as you noted has jumped up £50 in the last hour as I've got a tab open with them saying £599.99 still :cry: The OEM version is £559 currently so maybe that was the one you are thinking about ?
 
Wow, good work Intel. After so many years this is a really impressive bump. Makes the whole 11th gen fiasco look a bit daft, why bother when they knew what was around the corner?

Even the energy efficient is much improved, however, I'm still very happy with my 5600X and plan to keep it for several more years.

Do AMD have something competitive coming any time soon? Seems a tall order to overhaul Intel now like they did with Zen3.
 
Can 12900k match the M1 Max in efficiency?

12900k tweaked for efficiency:

6 big cores locked to 3.0ghz
8 little cores locked to 2.4ghz
Maximum power limit: 35w

Cinebench R23: 14288 points
M1 Max 30w: 12326 points

the M1 max gets 410 points per watt and the 12900k gets 409 points per watt.

so mission accomplished, the 12900k is extremely efficient at low power limits and goes head to the head with the efficiency king, M1 max. The 12900k achieves 50% of its 241w performance at just 35w.

Well my moves continue to be bad. Got some parts and no bracket on 2 different AIO 360MM coolers.Time I get the brackets,AMD would have released there new CPU.I would even pay for overnight shipping on either CPU cooler.

I still really don't understand why motherboards are shipping with PL1 set to 241w (or even inifinite) when it performs so well at the specified 125w. To top the 5950x in more benchmarks? Did Intel push motherboard manufacturers to do this?

Agrred. What's especially amazing is the energy efficieny when gaming. You get the best gaming performance of any CPU to date, coupled with lower power consumption than Ryzen!

Looking at the Igor's labs graphs (specifically the Blender ones). Just as one example, if you drop the 12900K PL1 to 125W, you can match the power draw of a 5800X but with 50% greater multicore performance. That's in addition to the considerably lower idle draw. Motherboards are shipping with completely unconstrained power limits, when people start tweaking them and finding a happy medium, we'll see just how efficient ADL is.

How is this worth all that heat??

Noctua seems to be the only one who had their act together when it comes to brackets.

14 Watts, Dave, its 14 Watts, you think that is amazing, was the 5950X 146 watts vs the 188 watts of the 11900K never amazing, Dave? Also the 5800X is 18 Watts lower than the 12900K, is that amazing?

The 12900K uses 260 Watts vs 125 Watts for the 5950X in blender, and the 5950X is faster, how amazing is that, Dave?

That MSI cooler is an Asetek gen 7 pump afaik. You can buy the bracket from OC!

Awesome thanks,I ordered two brackets all ready,I can wait.Also I have enermax liqmax iii 360 argb white with white case,I am going to sell the MSI 360mm.
Also I have my main PC gaming rig with 10850K and RTX 3080.Just wanting to test out the new shinny stuff but it does suck waiting.

It is weird,it is not like the Intel CPU snuck up on them with CPU coolers but they must be just clearing out stock.
