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: 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.
We are using DDR5 memory at the following settings:
- DDR5-4800(B) CL40
Legacy
In our legacy section of the suite, both the Core i7-12700K and Core i5-12600K perform well in older benchmarks. It's worth pointing out that all of Intel's 12th Gen Core series processors do well here, with the combination of high core frequency, core count, and IPC performance all playing its part.
Web
Looking at performance in our web-based tests, the three premium K SKUs in Intel's Alder Lake stack once again shows its dominance over the rest of the competition.

> Did I talk to you? No.You must have this confused with private messages. This is an open discussion where anyone can read and reply to anything posted. If that's not what you want, go somewhere else.
> has to comment on everything here.
This is one of the sites I tend to check on a daily basis. As there's not much new content published recently, most of the discussion seems to happen in the latest article.
That you feel the need to psycho-analyze me really says more about you than me.
> not a good showing for this site.
Since when do you care about this site? It's been going for 25 years, yet you seem to have no clue what it's really about. Worse, I don't think you care. Your agenda seems quite obvious, by this point.
> That said, I’m not gonna waste my time with you again.
Somehow, I doubt it.
> Didn’t read your comment either.
Your loss.
Also, I doubt it. Unless the post is overlong, this is typically just an excuse used by those who cannot reply on merit.

Not a need to psychoanalyse you but it’s very obvious, your comments are literally everywhere here. You’re worse than me in my worst times - again not a insult, but you should look into it. It stems from insecurity issues.mode_13h - Tuesday, April 5, 2022 - link
> It stems from insecurity issues.Nope. I've been a tech-head for most of my life. I love this stuff. These are my people and I enjoy learning and sharing what I've learned. That's why I read & post here.
There are people who post here that I respect & learn from. Not as much as when the site had more content, but still some. And I do what I can to pay it forward. If you're paying attention, you'll see that I try to fill in details, present counterpoints, and support my claims with links where I can.
I think it's funny that you can presume to know me, after just a few comment threads.

No problem disregard what I said then.Khanan - Tuesday, April 5, 2022 - link
I wanna add: I don’t have a agenda, don’t misuse big words that are unsuitable for small things. I’m sorry this site is nearly dead, I would’ve loved it to be different.mode_13h - Tuesday, April 5, 2022 - link
> I don’t have a agendaI don't even care if you do, as long as you play fair. We don't need insults or name-calling. State your best case and back it up with references (when possible). The better you can support your argument, the more chance there is that at least someone will learn something.
Plenty of people have biases, on here. That's just a reality. All you can do is present your side or get them to clarify and support their position. You never win by attacking people. It shuts down any chance they'll listen and turns off anyone else who might be following.

Try to wisen up yourself before lecturing others on what to do. :) I don’t asked for advice and I don’t need it, never really did, coming to think of it, not even 23 years ago in the first tech forums I visited.Makaveli - Tuesday, March 29, 2022 - link

"Will there be a review of the Mac studio with M1 Ultra? If not, I’ll stop checking the site."Yes, hopefully next week. Things have been a little busy in the GPU space in the last month, to say the least.

Sweet! Thanks!
