Alistair , i don't thing anything could change , only because of the fact : intel 12gen = Windows 11 only , also to be able to use it u need this brand new 1700 socket , wich mean your board is going to cost you like what 250-300 in best case scenario , DDR5 PCI GEN5 , loll that's not going to arrive at my table or yours , + don't forget Windows 11 and gaming can't be used in same sentence , so basically they are giving a product with some kind of good price / perofmance itself , but to be able to use it now and in the future u have to spend tons of money just to be able to beat with 10-12% the King in the best case scenario , just face it 5600x with good board + ram is going to cost you less and you are not going to put yourself in the Microsoft hands. I am sure that this numbers are with DDR5 HIGH speed kit (3000 +)best case scenario ; Please don;t prove me wrong i just bought Ryzen 5 5600x and board and ram i expecting it to arrive tomorrow....

I have seen Linus Tech Tips video as well: he showed the performance Intel is claiming over AMD but he said Intel did the testing in Windows 11 BEFORE Windows 11 fixed the performance issues with AMD CPUs.
If you have an AMD 5000 CPU, watch that part of Linus Tech Tips video and if you have those games Intel used for the benchmark, you were on Windows 11 as well before the performance fix and you remember how your AMD CPU performed in those games before the fix, you can have an idea how Intel 12th CPU gonna perform.
Example: you had 50 fps before the fix and Intel is claiming +30% performance improvement over your CPU: that Intel CPU will get 65 fps. And if your AMD CPU after the fix gained +25% in performance, well it will be a bit slower than intel 12th gen but NOT a 30% difference but a 4% slower than Intel.

Hey Steve. I m wondering if you can test power consumption on these CPUs with different E core counts. If I understand correctly Intel is using the E cores to save on power consumption and likely use them for light or background tasks however I m curious to know how power savings will be affected by having more or less of these tiny cores. It seems like adding more E cores while having the same amount of P cores would be kind of counter productive. The 16 core CPU doesn t make allot of sense to me where as the 12 core (8+4) seems to make more sense. Can you look into this aspect a bit in the full review?

Let's wait for the new advertising that always needs a performance core in the web browser.
Who wants to go into a weak, efficient core? Smart 1% then all use the free efficiency CORS
DDR5 is first littered with the efficient web browser has always been true in the last few years.
PCIe 5 graphics cards remain a myth just like the PCIe 4 cards and if you have a PCIe 4 card you are rich or one of the lucky ones who probably got a lot of money or was able to fish one at the start.

You know, I wouldn't have thought that the price for a 16 core chip was that out of sync with where the industry is (even if where the industry is kinda blows) until I realized that the leap from 12700K to 12900K only increases the E core count and not the P core count. What even is the practical application of jumping from 4 to 8 efficiency cores? GN's benchmarks ought to be interesting...

Not a fan of big/little core design, but I am a fan of Intel coming back with something competitive. AMD has shown that they will push up prices as high as possible when Intel gives them the space to do so.
If you want AMD to get back to the sanity of previous zen 2 pricing, you need Intel to get some wins.

I look at new cpu's as games in beta. It's better to wait for it to mature to get a better experience rather than purchase one and regret the upcoming and new competition to the market. That said, once in a while we strike lucky and get an optimised bug free game that puts a smile on our face (8700k / 5600x)

11900k already goes for 799AUD here and z590 boards are very expensive so Aussies will probably be looking at 949 for the 12900k and a significant price increase for the LGA1700 boards not to mention DDR5. I think its a good idea to just hold out and wait. I look forward to your review.

This efficiency core bid I feel is more to cover off their ass from Apple, Apple s mobile SoC architectures involve a lot of these mixed efficiency and power focused cores. Intel knows it s gonna hurt and they ve made an early start on developing the architecture around the same principles

Let's be honest here... No one cares about Intel anymore. Competition is good but it's just funny... Know what I mean? The stuff Intel keeps doing is comical. We all see it. It's ok to laugh. We are all waiting for that one friend to catch on.
