It’s fair to say that Intel’s new 12th generation Core processors have a lot of ground to make up, with the company losing substantial market share to AMD’s Ryzen CPUs for the past few years. However, Alder Lake is different from every x86 desktop chip we’ve ever had, featuring a hybrid design of performance and efficiency cores which could lead the way for all future processors from not just Intel but AMD as well.
There’ve been numerous leaks surrounding the Core i9-12900K and Core i5-12600K, with Intel formally confirming their specifications and prices at its Intel Innovation event this past October. The price of the Alder Lake lineup ranges between $264-$589 USD, which is comparative to the cost of AMD’s existing Ryzen 5000 offerings.
However, the question remains whether these Alder Lake processors can rank among the best gaming CPUs on the market, and how much of a lead team blue can create of over team red before the arrival of Zen 4 in 2022.
