From China, reviews of Alder Lake CPUs have not yet been released, and these are the Intel Core i3-12100 (4 high-performance cores + 8 threads at 3.30 / 4.30 GHz Base / Turbo frequency), Intel Core i3-12300 (4 high-performance cores + 8 threads at a Turbo frequency of 4.40 GHz) and the Intel Core i5-12400 (6 high-performance cores + 12 threads at a Base / Turbo frequency of 2.50 / 4.40 GHz).
All of these CPUs were tested with a Z690 motherboard and DDR4 @ 4266 MHz RAM.
Of the Core i5-12400 we have already seen numerous reviews and it eats the Ryzen 5 5600X, its direct rival, since it is more powerful and will go on sale at a price that will be about 33% lower, so we will focus on the models below, not to mention the 73W consumption of Intel CPU vs. 119W from AMD. The Core i3 will consume between 61 and 64W.
