Taking out 20-30% of your CPU doesn't sounds like a good deal...
Interesting. That should just about match/surpass a tuned 5950X with PBO and curve optimizer in games, we shall see.
I suspect finally my 5950X CBR23 ST score of 1715 will be beaten by an Intel processor though. At least until Zen with 3D Cache arrives.
That will pass the 5950x easily, 5950x ain't getting 850 in cpu z either and 2k in cb r23
it allows higher tdp allocated to P core, so you can do higher all core overclock on P core which most likely improves game performance
Guess I'll wait for review and see how it goes. Pretty much anything is an upgrade for me anyway (coming for an i7-3770k).
That's an interesting way to try and extract more performance for gaming. Curious to see how it compares over multiple games and workloads.

Looking promising
Hoping AMD can fight back next year with the refreshed Zen3.
I have questions.
DDR5 or DDR4. JEDEC timings or tighter. Intel MC spec speed or faster?
W11 or W10? If W11 before or after the L3 cache bug was fixed for Zen 3?
PL1/PL2/Tau settings? Intel spec or Motherboard spec?
e-cores on or off?
What I do see is that there is going to be a lot of variation between Anandtech, GN and HUB because they all test differently. Anandtech go with stock everything across the board so that means stock timings, stock MC speed, stock gear ratio, stock PL1, PL2 and tau etc. GN go with stock power settings but run affordable but tuned ram. HUB run with motherboard power settings and affordable but tuned ram as well. Then there is the obvious OS question of do reviewers use W11 across the board or do they run best OS for each platform. Do they run with e-cores on or off or both. So many variables that will probably lead to many follow-up articles / videos for the various outlets.
Some fair points and questions there, could potentially be a lot of variation depending on how and what is tested.

That can't be right as its only 7% faster than a 5950X. Not boosting properly? Only shows 4.7Ghz in the screenshot.
I thought the score was supposed to be around 850 for Alder Lake?

Did you miss that it is a 12600K?That can't be right as its only 7% faster than a 5950X. Not boosting properly? Only shows 4.7Ghz in the screenshot.

There are some there that i get, F1 2021, FarCry 6, Hitman 3
Mount and Blade II? Random 15 year old game
There is something else to notice about this, a lot of these games are very heavy on AI calculation, Age of Empire, Hitman 3, Troy: A Total War Saga, Mount and Blade II, that's 3, (Hitman maybe not so much) that are Ashes of the benchmark clones.
That explains it when. Any indication as to what extra score the top SKU will offer vs this one?
I've no doubt the results are true, but they will be painting their CPUs in the best possible light.
So this could mean the results are taken on Windows 11, before the Ryzen OS/Chipset updates came out to restore expected performance.
Or it could have been done on Windows 10 and none of that applies. Have to wait and see what is what, but looks like the 5950X might not be the fastest gaming CPU anymore.
I expect it will depend. CS:GO, Valorant and other competitive games are noted by their absence from the slide so perhaps in the arena where high refresh 1080p gaming is really important Zen 3 is still ahead and I expect at 4k it makes not much difference unless you intend to keep your CPU, RAM, Mobo through several GPU upgrades.
Yeah they are true, have a look at Age of Empire, Troy: A Total War Saga and Mount and Blade II they are all the same sort of game with huge AI simulation, its all multi threaded Integer math, its more like Microsoft Excel than a game, the slide seems oddly padded out with games like that, even Hitman 3 is to some extent like that.
What's left after that, Farcry 6, yeah ok tho we know Ryzen doesn't play well, again, specifically with Duna Engine.
Grid 2019, yeah sure, a bit specific again tho isn't it?
F1 2021, yeah ok.
That's it....
And yes there are questions at to the Windows 11 situation, if this is pre Ryzen fix?
I'll have a quick scout around for some of these benchmarks to see how they actually compare between Rocket Lake and Zen 3, i'm probably not going to find anything useful if at all as reviewers seem oddly reluctant to include CPU benchmarks when testing games these days or if they do its all on GPU limits.
If it had CS:GO and Rocket League +15% on those slides i would be impressed, its difficult to get games like that on the GPU limit, its where the CPU can fully stretch its legs and that's where Zen 3 blows Intel out of the water by some 20 to 30%, Intel would have to gain about 50% performance to convincingly beat Zen 3, the same is true for most games when you set the resolution low again to take the GPU out of the equation, most of what you're looking at from reviews involves the GPU limits, you're seeing (Zen 3 +10%) "so Intel only need +15% to beat it.... no!" +15% where the GPU is 70% the bottleneck is not +15% its +4%.
I'd rather see how they do in modern games though not ones from 6+ years ago that already run at many 100s of fps even on a potato system.
