Intel’s new 12th Gen SKUs are great for daily usage, gaming as well as productivity undoubtedly and the multi-threaded performance you get is exceptional especially compared to a Ryzen 5000 series processor. A year back we though there would be none to defeat the likes of Ryzen 9 5900X or the 5950X in multi-core performance, however, Intel has totally changed the path of course in 2021.

These new 10nm based 12th Gen Alder Lake processors possess up to 8 Performance cores and 8 Efficiency cores, as we saw in our [Core i9-12900K review](https://technosports.co.in/2021/12/05/intel-core-i9-12900k-review/), the chip almost closes in with the Ryzen 9 5950X while shreding apart the likes of Ryzen 5900X. Pudget Systems has shown properly that in PugetBench for Davinci Resolve, Intel shines in all scenarios.

They don't match the higher-end AMD Threadripper (Pro) or Intel Xeon W platforms, but they're solidly faster than the Ryzen 5000 series. [pic.twitter.com/9c7mqCCPKB](https://t.co/9c7mqCCPKB)

The best part is Intel’s every chip at each level defeats AMD Ryzen 5000 series while the Core i5 12600K totally destroys the likes of Ryzen 5 5600X, performing 17% better. Also, the 12 core Core i7-12700K much expectedly performs better than the Ryzen 7 5800X, overall, if you can bear the platform costs of 12th Gen Intel SKUs then you can expect healthy difference not just in gaming but also in productivity.
