The Intel Core i7-12700K and Core i5-12600K Review: High Performance For the Mid-Range
by Gavin Bonshor on March 29, 2022 8:00 AM ESTCPU Benchmark Performance: Encoding and Compression
One of the interesting elements on modern processors is encoding performance. This covers two main areas: encryption/decryption for secure data transfer, and video transcoding from one video format to another.
In the encrypt/decrypt scenario, how data is transferred and by what mechanism is pertinent to on-the-fly encryption of sensitive data - a process by which more modern devices are leaning to for software security.
Video transcoding as a tool to adjust the quality, file size and resolution of a video file has boomed in recent years, such as providing the optimum video for devices before consumption, or for game streamers who are wanting to upload the output from their video camera in real-time. As we move into live 3D video, this task will only get more strenuous, and it turns out that the performance of certain algorithms is a function of the input/output of the content.
We are using DDR5 memory at the following settings:
- DDR5-4800(B) CL40
Encoding
In terms of encoding and compression, Intel's 12th Gen Core gains some wins, but AMD's Ryzen 5000 also wins. It's a very competitive segment, but in the case of the Core i7-12700K and Core i5-12600K, both remain competitive against the competition.

Note the difference : a closed platform design, an open cpu silicon design.You want to build a PC, you can't use an Apple chip. You want to run windows, you can't use an Apple chip. You want to add memory, a second drive, an input card?
You are catching on.

Let me guess, due to the unfreezing process, you have no internal monologue?Anandtech has done some of the best reviews of Apple Silicon on the Internet, your internal monologue notwithstanding. I'm hoping to see a new one of the Mac Studio with its M1 Ultra. If there isn't going to be one, I'd just like to know so I can stop checking every day.

Andrei is gone, don't hold your breath. It's a skeleton crew at Anandtech now that leadership at Future has basically left the site to die.Hifihedgehog - Tuesday, March 29, 2022 - link
Future is speedily becoming another TechTarget, acquiring and discarding sites after they serve their revenue-devouring purposes. I wager AnandTech forums will be closed down much like all the TechTarget forums (BrightHand, NotebookReview, TabletPCReview, etc.) now are.Hifihedgehog - Tuesday, March 29, 2022 - link
Give it 5-7 years but the forums here will be closed as well. With Ian and Andrei gone, this site now has an expiration date.Blastdoor - Tuesday, March 29, 2022 - link
shoot -- I hadn't realized. What a shame :-(Calin - Wednesday, March 30, 2022 - link
There are applications that run on both platforms - some of them (like Cinebench) are even in this review.Also, there was a rough comparison between the Apple mobile phone core performance versus Intel server CPU core performance a couple of years ago.
So, plenty of prior examples for an Apple vs Intel article, even if it's M1 versus Zen3 or whatever else.

Do you really need an review for that? If you want Apple you buy it, it’s good. If you don’t want Apple you won’t buy it anyway.mode_13h - Wednesday, March 30, 2022 - link
We want detailed benchmarks. We want to know how good the Ultra really is, particularly how well CPU and GPU performance scale up to dual-die. We want to see Apple's claims on performance and efficiency tested. I'm never going to buy a Mac, but I still want to know if their architecture lives up to their claims.Since Apple is leading on the innovation front, this could be taken as a harbinger of what's to come for other CPUs and GPUs.
Detailed analysis of leading-edge tech is/was what this site is/was all about.

Did I talk to you? No. I realize you’re a huge nerd that has to comment on everything here. You don’t own this website and you should get a therapist for that, it’s a bit alarming what you do and not a good showing for this site.That said, I’m not gonna waste my time with you again. You should know why. Didn’t read your comment either.
