Intel’s Alder Lake will soon launch in the market and since the launch date is so closed, we are seeing a bit too many benchmark appearances of the Alder Lake CPUs. And this time around yet another Intel Alder Lake CPU which is the Core i5-12400, a mid-range processor, was tested in three different benchmarks.
And the results are pretty amazing as the CPU beats AMD’s entire Ryzen 5000 line in some tests. So, let’s see what all the hype is about. This benchmark appeared at Bilibili, a Chinese social media platform.
The Core i5-12400 is based entirely on Golden Cove architecture meaning that it won’t feature a mix of Efficiency (small) cores and Performance (big cores). But, the good thing here is that the CPU has six cores and all of them are of the Performance variety. The CPU was tested in CPU-Z, AIDA64, and Cinebench R20 benchmarks.
According to the CPU-Z benchmark, the Core i5-12400 has a 4.4 GHz single-core boost clock as well as 4 GHz in an all-core boost. The i5-12400 received a 681.7 score in single-thread testing and 4983.8 in multi-thread.
In the test over at Cinebench R20, the Core i5-12400 performed well above any stock AMD Ryzen 5000 CPU in terms of single-core performance. But, the results were not as high in multi-threading, where this model of Alder Lake can only compete against other six-core processors.
Even though the hype is high and the single-core performance numbers are great, it’s worth remembering that the actual results can only be seen when Alder Lake is put through real-world tests after they are officially launched in the market. However, if this leak proves to be true, it certainly paints a good picture of Intel Core i5-12400 and we can expect the Alder Lake members to be on the list of some of the best CPUs in the market.
