AMD processors are far ahead
Alder Lake processors, which will be released in the second half of this year, will be Intel’s first heterogeneous desktop solutions. Recall that in the maximum configuration, they will contain eight large and eight small cores.
First test results for all-new Intel desktop processors show little improvement over current CPUs
This configuration should be sensitive to software optimization because different kernels are designed for other tasks. So far, we can not verify this aspect in any way, but today an engineering sample of the top 16-core Adler Lake CPU was lit up on the Web, and we can look at the performance of, probably, the large cores.
In Geekbench 4, the novelty gains 6,536 points in single-threaded mode and 47,870 points in multi-threaded mode.
As you can see, the new flagship is faster than the Core i9-9900K, and when compared with the Core i9-10900K, the new product loses in single-threaded mode but wins in multi-threaded. New Ryzen 5000 CPUs are completely unattainable. Considering that the engineering sample passed the tests, it isn’t easy to draw any conclusions. So far, the result does not pull the breakthrough since I want to get more from the new architecture and completely new configuration.
