Before we begin this comparison and discuss things like platform and compatibility, we think it's best to go through the specifications of processors from each generation. While the specs on paper aren't always an indicator of the actual real-world performance, they still paint a clear picture of what you can expect from each processor in terms of ...
DDR5 Memory
All of the new Alder Lake CPUs support both DDR4 as well as the new DDR5 memory kits. This is considered to be one of the biggest upgrades this generation as the Rocket Lake chips only officially support DDR4. In fact, Intel's new Alder Lake CPUs are the first modern computing chips to support DDR5. AMD's new Ryzen 6000 series mobile chips have DDR5 memory support, but the DDR5 support in the desktop space will only arrive with its 7000 series chips. The arrival of the DDR5 standard certainly...
PCIe 5.0 Support
Intel's Rocket Lake CPUs launched with support for PCIe 4.0 last year and the company is already moving forward with PCIe 5.0 support. Intel's new Alder Lake chips support PCIe 5.0 with 64 GB/s of throughput across an x16 lane connection. The desktop PC chips support an x16 PCIe Gen 5 connection with an additional x4 PCIe Gen 4 connection. This is yet another important upgrade to consider while shopping for a new CPU. So how much of an improvement does PCIe 5.0 bring to the table? Well, one o...
TDP
With its new Alder Lake CPUs, Intel has discarded its 'TDP' (Thermal Design Point) nomenclature. Replacing that is the PBP (Processor Base Power). This appears to have become a topic of discussion mainly because Intel doesn't provide much of an explanation for this change. Well, in case you're wondering, the Processor Base Power metric that we see in 12th-gen Alder Lake chips is just an updated terminology for TDP. Additionally, Intel has also introduced a new metric called Maximum Turbo Powe...
Both the 12th-gen and 11th-gen Intel Core CPUs are now available to purchase. The Core i9-12900K starts at $589 which is a $40 premium over its last-gen counterpart. Both the Core i7-12700K as well as the Core i5-12600K slots in at the same tray price of $409 and $289, respectively. You can check out the specifications table above to find out the p...
There's no denying that the new Alder Lake chips have a much more modern platform than the outgoing 11th-gen chips or even the AMD AM4 ecosystem. And as we mentioned in our Core i5-12600K and Core i9-12900K review, Intel is off to a great start with Alder Lake. While the 12900K represents the best of what Intel has to offer in the CPU space, the 12...

Mar 30, 2021 · These new processors are marketed as having substantially better per-core performance compared to their previous 10th Gen Core models, but the top-end model (the Core i9 11900K) has two fewer cores than the previous generation which may hamper performance in some applications.
