Do you ever read beyond click bait headlines? Seriously?

"Destroys AMD in Gaming benchmarks"

Here having the meaning of 3DMark TimeSpy, that's it, the only noteworthy thing under that headline.

Click bait headlines are for idiots @4K8KW10

Did you bother to enter the "clickbait" link? :D

"Within the same High (1440p) preset, the Intel Core i9-12900K scores up to 146.6 FPS average while the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X system with a 64 GB DDR4 memory and an RTX 3080 scores 104.6 FPS. The reason for using these two benchmarks for comparison is that all benchmark presets including the version match here."

40% faster performance!

Ashes of the Benchmark is CPU-Z in 3D form.

Do you have any actual games where Alder lake beats Zen 3 by any significant margin?

CPU-Z, 3DMark, Ashes of the Benchmark, these are not games, not even Ashes as such.

There is a HUGE amount of so called leaks about ALD generating a vast amount of noise for the uninformed normies but nothing for anyone who actually knows anything at all.

Does this lack of any real data amongst this barrage of white noise not worry you as an Intel fan?

It very well could be brilliant but nothing so far suggests that. so far all we know its its very good in one very specific way, AVX loads. Which probably explains its 300 Watt power draw.

2xSkylake overclocked i5 quad cores with fluff rearranged, glued to 8 Atom cores and another single generation socket.

No one is buying it for CPU-Z benchmarking, it needs to do a lot more than that, Rocket Lake is also better at CPU-Z benchmarking than Zen 3 but comparatively crap at everything else, and Guess what, Rocket Lake is a sales flop.
Isn't that the truth! All the Intel engineers seemed to aiming for with RocketLake is getting single threaded benchmarks on par with Ryzen, overlooking most other details. We'll see what Alderlake brings to the party once the other details come to light.

The M1 Max's CPUperformance crown didn't last very long

it was the fastest mobile processor money can buy. Now yea the M1 max is only 30w, the 12900HK has no hope in high help of matching its performance per watt or battery life but for absolute performance regardless of noise, battery or heat the 12900HK seems to have the crown

That now goes to the Alder Lake 12900HK which has beaten the M1 Max in single and multi core in Geekebench. This also means that the 12900HK is faster than the desktop 11900k and desktop 10900k

In Geekbench 5 the 12900HK scores: 1850 in single core and 13300 in multi core, and thats not far behind the desktop 3950x 16 core which gets 14k in multicore

The M1 Max's CPU cluster is only about a quarter of the size of the GPU cluster.

While Apple's core are very impressive even the M1 Max only has 8+2 of them.

Have to say that their decision to dedicate so much of the die GPUs is a strange one. Only certain professional workloads will benefit from the GPU, while far more things would benefit from 16+2 cores.

Not sure that is the case on a mobile devices. The various sensors, compute tasks, face unlock, finger print scanners e.c.t are offloaded to the GPU. A lot of time is spent on youtube and video watching which again is offloaded to the GPU even in 2D as its more power efficient. Its not that the CPU cannot do the tasks its that the tasks are more power efficient on the GPU.

Yeah, come back once the embargo has been lifted and actual reviews come out. All this right now is just risking being wrong on so many levels at the moment. I've heard all this before how even 11th Gen was going to be the Ryzen killer and look how that turned out once actual reviews were allowed to be put out.

If they were really winning in everything here, this embargo would've been lifted weeks ago.
Wasn't the Zen 3 review embargo the same day as release?
