'Alder Lake' debuts the hybrid core topology to the desktop segment, combining a number of bigger 'performance' cores, or P-cores, with smaller 'efficiency' cores, or E-cores.
ROCKET LAKE VS ZEN 3 SERIES
There are also 500 series chipset improvements including: 20 PCIe4 CPU lanes (up from 16) and USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 (20 Gbps up from 10 Gbps). The reason for making such a comparison makes sense to know how much an architecture has improved from one generation to the next and especially to know if the eleventh generation of Intel is really that close to Zen 3 or on the contrary, it will be necessary to advance the launch of Alder Lake, twelfth generation, in order to regain the throne in terms of performance. The i7-12700K is technically a 12-core/20-thread processor, but theres a lot more to that core count. The i7-11700K is the second fastest CPU in Intel’s 11th Gen Rocket Lake-S lineup which brings higher IPC (early samples indicate +19) and 50 stronger integrated graphics. This is quite an improvement over Zen 3, where Alder Lake is about 10-12 faster. In fact, the benchmark that really interests us, as long as we know what the real evolution has been, is the one that compares them at the same clock speed, since the benchmarks in the section above this news compare processors to different clock speeds. RAM: Sabrent Rocket DDR5 32GB - Buy from Amazon Graphics Card: MSI SUPRIM X RTX 3080 12GB - Buy from Amazon. There, the encoding performance improved by 7.09.5 with AVX-512, but the power draw went up much more (by 30 ). Normalization of clock speed for more accurate comparison There’s another reason that has us consider the merely meager performance gains from the AVX-512 to be good news with the Zen 4.
