Intel Core i9-12900K Review

BAPCo CrossMark is a test we have not used before so we cannot yet draw any conclusions, except to say Intel 12th Gen comfortably beats Intel's older CPUs.

In Blender the mighty Ryzen 9 5950X holds on to its crown however it is clear that Intel has made significant steps forward and is challenging for the lead.

As we explain in our video, we ran Blender a number of times with different core configurations. It is clear from our chart the Performance cores carry the heavy load however you can also see the Efficiency cores play their part and do more work than we had initially expected.
