AMD must handle: New Intel

The Intel Core microarchitecture (previously named Next-Generation Micro-Architecture) is a multi-core cpu microarchitecture revealed by Intel in Q1 2006. It is based upon the Yonah processor design and can be considered an iteration of the P6 microarchitecture presented in 1995 with Pentium Pro. High power consumption and also heat strength, the resulting failure to effectively raise clock rate, and also various other drawbacks such as an inefficient pipeline were the main reasons Intel abandoned the NetBurst microarchitecture as well as switched over to a various architectural layout, providing high performance via a small pipe instead than high clock rates. The Core microarchitecture initially did not get to the clock rates of the NetBurst microarchitecture, even after relocating to 45 nm lithography. Nonetheless after several generations of follower microarchitectures which made use of Core as their basis (such as Nehalem, Sandy Bridge as well as even more), Intel took care of to at some point surpass the clock prices of Netburst with the Adversary s Canyon (Boosted variation of Haswell) microarchitecture getting to a base frequency of 4 GHz and a maximum checked frequency of 4.4 GHz using 22 nm lithography. The initial processors that utilized this design were code-named Merom, Conroe, as well as Woodcrest ; Merom is for mobile computer, Conroe is for desktop computer systems, and also Woodcrest is for web servers and also workstations. While architecturally identical, the 3 processor lines vary in the socket utilized, bus rate, as well as power consumption. The initial mainstream Core-based cpus were branded Pentium Dual-Core or Pentium as well as low end branded Celeron; web server and workstation Core-based processors were well-known Xeon, while Intel s initial 64-bit desktop computer as well as mobile Core-based processors were top quality Core 2.

While Intel has lost to ground in recent years on the CPU market, the leaf could now turn back. The first test reports on the brand new chips show that AMD has to wear warm - because Intel is not only back, but has also ripped directly the gaming crown under the nail.

Intel Core I-1200: New processors bring AMD to sweat

Most recently, Intel has not strained with fame when it comes to new processors. Although the industry prime was able to increase the performance of its chips from year to year, huge performance jumps remained.

But that seems to change with the 12th generation Intel-Core processors. Intel sets in the new models for the first time on a big.Little architecture, which is previously used especially in smartphone chips and has now finally made the jump to a 10 Nm manufacturing process.

First test reports on the new Intel Core I5-12600K and I9-12900K are already online - and the results speak for themselves :

Golem: Alder Lake is exactly what many hardware fans have been waiting for a long time: a significant upgrade to the predecessor generation. The new hybrid design ensures high performance values ​​and can still work very efficiently at low workload. Heise : Intel offers the currently fastest gaming processor with the COIRE I9-12900K. However, if you want to get everything out of the chip, you need to grab the expensive DDR5-RAM. Under Windows 11, the new Hybrid model of the chip can play its strengths properly - only the power consumption falls very high under full load. Linus Tech Tips: Both the new i5 and the i9 processor can place in terms of Gaming almost in all games before AMD. However, the power consumption of the i9 model is very high, which also has an effect on the cooling. Even with a potent CPU cooler, the chip reaches proud 90 degrees Celsius. However, the actual star is the i5-12600K, which offers similar gaming performance, but is much cheaper. Gamer s Nexus : The Intel Core i5-12600K is a solid opponent for AMD s Ryzen 5 5600X. Although the Intel Core I9-12900K offers significantly more power again, but also consumes significantly more power so that interested parties should pay attention to a suitable cooler.

And what else happened in the gaming and technology world? We ll tell you in the Intel HEADLINES:

How expensive are the new Intel chips?

The Intel Core i5-12600K is currently listed at Amazon and various other providers for 329.00 euros. For comparison: The AMD Ryzen 5 5600x is currently traded for about 290 euros, is therefore around 40 euros cheaper.
