Which functions are new?
Intel is unveiling a new architecture for its processors in which performance cores work hand-in-hand with efficiency cores in the background, which should boost performance in games, but also in office applications. Intel is referring primarily to sophisticated software such as Lightroom. However, with this architecture, Intel is also completely reliant on Windows 11, as it is the only one capable of handling this complexity, and becomes virtually mandatory if you want to use one of these new desktop processors.
Whether and how this will meet with general acceptance remains to be seen for the time being, of course. Gamers in particular will probably still have problems with DRM-protected content at first, even though Intel is currently focusing on fixing the bugs. Denuvo is just one of these (rather temporary) hurdles.
In addition, this architecture enables a new management of the cache memory thanks to the efficient cores. Intel promises extremely short load times in games. The stability of the frames per second should also be improved. In addition, the new processors support DDR5 RAM and PCIe 5.0 and there is also the logical support for Wi-Fi 6.
Intel promises better overclocking management with a new version of its Extreme Tuning Utility that lets you control every aspect of your processor, core by core. Moreover, this software allows you to overclock your CPU in a very simple, even childish way, just by clicking a button. It will be possible to deactivate this function during operation.
How high is the performance of these processors to be estimated?
Intel says the new CPUs will bring an extra performance boost, and they’ve used slides and their own benchmarks to give a first glimpse of what to expect. With a Core i9 of the 12. In the slides, Intel shows us that the performance index is higher in almost all games in a configuration with an RTX 3090 in 1080p than with the 11th generation processor. Generation. Similarly, Intel has logically compared its new Core i9 to its direct competitor, the Ryzen 5950X, across a range of games (tested under the same conditions as above). Intel boasts of being better, but we must remember that we are dealing with manufacturer data.
By the way, in the gaming benchmarks I’ll be using a Radeon RX 6900XT and light OC, as the overhead is much lower there and the RTX 3090 is also almost always outperformed. I’ve already tested that. In the 720p benchmarks, this is true anyway. This could allow any performance advantage of the 12. Generation will be even more pronounced, if they exist as announced. First of all, here are the manufacturer’s values, whereby the selection of the games has of course not turned out completely randomly. I’m sure you can help out a bit here in later reviews, though:
But it’s not just in gaming that Intel promises significantly better performance, as the manufacturer has also shared data on creative software that is known to be particularly resource hungry. Together with subsequently adjusted performance data and limits for power consumption, Intel will certainly leave nothing to chance.
New CPUs, a new architecture, more performance and easy tools for overclocking are the promises of this new generation of CPUs. I will of course keep you posted as soon as the performance tests are available. Then we can wait for AMD’s response (if) and have binary popcorn ready. Because it will surely continue. But it continues for now on the next page with a close look at and under such a new CPU. But first I can refer you to an older article of mine, which contains much more details than you can get from the slides.
