CPU Benchmark Performance: Legacy and Web

In order to gather data to compare with older benchmarks, we are still keeping a number of tests under our ‘legacy’ section. This includes all the former major versions of CineBench (R15, R11.5, R10) as well as x264 HD 3.0 and the first very naïve version of 3DPM v2.1. We won’t be transferring the data over from the old testing into Bench, otherwise it would be populated with 200 CPUs with only one data point, so it will fill up as we test more CPUs like the others.

The other section here is our web tests.

For the Core i3-12300, we are running DDR5 memory at the following settings:

  • DDR5-4800(B) CL40

Legacy

(6-1a) CineBench R10 ST

(6-1b) CineBench R10 MT

(6-2a) CineBench R11.5 ST

(6-2b) CineBench R11.5 MT

(6-3a) CineBench R15 ST

(6-3b) CineBench R15 MT

(6-4a) 3DPM v1 ST

(6-4b) 3DPM v1 MT

(6-5a) x264 HD 3.0 Pass 1

(6-5b) x264 HD 3.0 Pass 2

As we've seen throughout our testing, the Core i3-12300 does well in single-threaded performance. However, it does lack the grunt in multi-threaded applications compared with chips that feature more cores and threads.

Web

(7-1) Kraken 1.1 Web Test

(7-2) Google Octane 2.0 Web Test

(7-3) Speedometer 2.0 Web Test

In our web-based benchmarks, the Core i3-12300 performs brilliantly due to the higher IPC performance of Intel's Golden Cove P-cores on Alder Lake.

    "No iGPU benchmarks, why?"

    Frankly, we haven't been doing iGPU benchmarks for desktop processors for a while. It's been a shortcut to get CPU reviews done on time.

    That needs to (and will be) changing. But right now if we benchmarked the i3-12300's iGPU, we wouldn't have sufficient data to compare it to anyhow.

    Comparing it to the Vega 6 in the 5300G should get the point across: UHD 730 is weak.

    Really? I've checked the archives in the 'CPU' section of anandtech. The last extensive review of an AMD Desktop CPU seems to be the 5300G/5600G/5700G... And it featured two pages of iGPU tests... And the first page of the same review was 'Power Consumption'.
    So your 'shortcuts' seem to be a bit... Selective, I'd say.

    Intel cannot be shown in ANY bad light.

    Lovely pictures, awesome these are looking so funny interesting but professional and artistic pics.

    It's bad. How bad? Take Vega 6, divide by two (or three depending on application).

    Suspect your desired iGPU performance figures of 12300's performance would still best those of the 5900X and 5950X....? :)

    What's the status of ECC RAM support for Alder Lake CPUs? Does DDR5 support imply ECC support? Are there different levels of ECC for DDR5? Intel Ark is no help. Thanks for any hints.
  • mode_13h - Thursday, March 3, 2022 - link

    Yes, according to ark.intel.com, ECC support is *not* listed for this or its sibling. They *do* list ECC support for the "E" and "TE" variants, but I don't know if you'll be able to source those easily, or how you'll find motherboard compatibility.

    Basically, plan on using an E-series Xeon, if you want ECC on Alder Lake.
  • Slash3 - Thursday, March 3, 2022 - link

    The -E/TE are BGA variants for embedded applications. It will need to be a Xeon.
