_An engineering sample of Intel’s next flagship processor, the i9-12900K, was [shown to beat AMD’s current flagship 5950X in Cinebench R20](https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/leaked-intel-12900k-benchmark-outperforms-amd-5950x/) by 18% in multi-core and 28% in single-core tests. The next generation of Intel processors is believed to use a hybrid big.LITTLE design where 8 of its 16 cores are for low power usage and 8 are for full power. The low power cores only run in single thread where the high power cores can run 2 threads. No official word on pricing or release date from Intel though but engineering samples and B600 motherboards are [being sold in China](https://www.tomshardware.com/news/intel-core-i9-12900k-alder-lake-cpus-1000-in-china) for $1,250 and $1,150, respectively._

According to leaker [OneRaichu](https://twitter.com/OneRaichu/status/1417527787695448069?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1417527787695448069%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.digitaltrends.com%2Fcomputing%2Fleaked-intel-12900k-benchmark-outperforms-amd-5950x%2F), the results for the 12900K were gathered using water-cooling and without overclocking, so it’s possible the final score could be even higher. The rumors suggest the processor will come with 16 cores and 24 threads with a boost clock speed of up to 5.3GHz.
