Intel today officially introduced the Core 12 (Alder Lake) processors, and today the results of overclocking the flagship of the series, the Core i9-12900K, appeared. According to the source, the CPU obeyed the frequency of 6.8 GHz, but only high-performance cores (P-cores, they are Golden Cove) worked on it.
Core i9-12900K is equipped with high-performance and energy-efficient cores. The latter (they are E-cores or Gracemont) started working at 5.3 GHz. For comparison, the base frequencies of the P- and E-cores are 5.2 and 3.9 GHz, respectively. That is, in the first case, the frequency increased by 31%, in the second - by 36%.
The booth used for overclocking included an ASRock Z690 Aqua OC Edition motherboard, a pair of DDR5-4800 modules, which were also overclocked (up to DDR5-6200), a liquid nitrogen cooling system, and an EVGA SuperNOVA 1600W power supply.
The overclocked processor set two world records in Geekbench 4 and Geekbench 5. In Geekbench 4, the processor scored 11,669 points in a single-threaded test and 93,232 points in a multi-threaded one. Geekbench 5 results - 2740 and 26 649 points, respectively. The result in XTU 2.0 is 12,765 points, but in this case, we had to lower the frequency to 6.7 GHz for a more stable operation and successful test completion. In comparison, the previous Geekbench 5 records were set by the Core i9-11900K (2309 points in a single-threaded test) and the Ryzen 9 5950X (20,929 points in a multi-threaded test).
