Intel i9-12900K Review - Alder Lake on Windows 10 vs Windows 11

Did you see which OS does he had in the background? if yes then that's the Winner

I have an i7 right now, if I put an i9 in my MB will MS invalidate my key?

Has the 12900K / KS situation improved on Windows 10, 9 months later?

hahahahahah

has windows 11 become more optimized since this video came out?

this cpu good for games ? thanks

So to sum it up, Windows 11 is better

Coming from a 8086K to a 12900K, playing Halo Infinite has been SUBSTANTIALLY less smooth. I'm curious to what the issue is.

Waiting for slime to upgrade his pc

You guys are the best, hands down. Stay great!

Anyone who haves a 12900k I would suggest doing the washer mod to the motherboard socket basically take a 1mm washer (nylon) put the washer on the 4 socket screws it relieves some of the clamping pressure on the IHS that causes it to bow once the washer mod is done the IHS is flat and drops temps by 10° or more because the cooler can now contact more of the IHS

I work heavily with 3D CAM modeling softwares. These are very CPU intensive tasks. I run 3 programs at the same time running simulations and rendering. There is a big difference in real world application between windows 11 and windows 10. On windows 10 it runs slower and for some stupid reason when I run my CAM application, it utilizes the ECores 1st. So I got a program that makes my CAM software priority and then I see windows 10 utilizing the PCores 1st. Strange. Also, when its at full load, the PCores will be at full load but the Ecores aren't being utilized.. it just sits there. Its like Windows 10 has no idea what to do with the cores. Even then, it will freeze for like 5secs at a time every couple hours or so, like complete freeze. My 12 core AMD 3900x Ryzen never froze like that.

Anyways I got fed up and did a clean install of Windows 11. Instantly it was running faster. Felt snappier. And no need to set Priorities with a separate software, windows 11 automatically knows to set my CAM application to Pcores. Also at full load it finally utilizes both Pcores and Ecores. No more freezes.

if you plan on getting 12th gen and running CPU intensive tasks, get Win 11

“And it’s coming fast. That’s what I love.” Hehe

Nice review, it was a fun watching that. BTW, nice graphics with the diagrams ;=)

No tests for 12700K?

all that work for vbs to disprove it all ;)

May I suggest. To make this type of review useful to more gamers to include battle royale games with full or close to full lobbies? Warzone is top on the list, Battlefield 2042 or even V is a good one. Don’t use bots. Run it on live games. I’m not sure how you would design a benchmark like that but I believe that is something really useful. Battle Royale are different they will paint the real picture in performance. Not only that, these are games that millions of people play. Please consider. Thanks!

Windows 11 cuts 10 to 20 FPS in games "Windows 11 is bad for gaming" like are you people serious? unless Windows 11 is causing severe performance issues while playing games, not only with these chips, but with any good enough gaming system, I see no cause for concern here.

Looking at the gaming benchmarks, that is more of a game developer issue, not an issue with any of the chips, the fact that the performance gaps are varying across those games says it all.

Honestly I have zero concern for the temps and power consumption, my only concern is the fact that the chip isn't playing nice with various titles, been reports of games not running on this chip and some crashing constantly, they say it is the new architecture that isn't playing nice with some titles or maybe it is Denuvo causing it, this is going to be my first high end Intel gaming build with this chip and don't want anything else, I have always stuck to mid end systems for gaming and would just like to go all out this time around, I hope they fix this with updates, my high end system with a Ryzen 9 5950X is just for work.

For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 6:23)
Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. (James 4:4)
And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: (Acts 17:30)

Okay, I’ve been researching for so long. Can someone just tell me.

Should I get windows 10 or windows 11 for 12600k (alder lake)
What are the pro and cons?

Omg CSGo with windows 11 sucks so hard against windowq 10

Linux rules!

10900k is the same performance as windows 10 and 11 because VBS is off by default. With the 12900k Windows 11 VBS is on by default. The latest AMD CPU's are the same. The only issues I have had with Windows 11 were fixed with driver updates.

you didn't mention the status of VBS on each OS. from the looks of it, you had it enabled on Win11 and disabled on Win10, which essentially invalidates all your results and conclusions.

Hhhhh amd not work with w11

Intel runs to Hot end of story.

AMD is the future, someday, not today...Best Buy has no Zen 2 systems.  AMD can't deliver.

if you are planning on getting i9 12900k, you're probably planning on getting an water cooler too.

You didn't mention if you disabled VBS or not on Win 11. If VBS is enabled then that explains the performance degradation on Win 11 vs 10

What AMD is bringing to the table in 2022 will be as big as when Ryzen first came out in early 2017.

This reminds me of ryzen 1000 launch.... meaning alder lake's successors could be amazing. Only time will tell

Is alterlake a m1max killer?

Good presentation. Alderlake may be Intel's best move in 10 years, but your work shows it's still beat by AMD in a few comparisons, so Intel has caught up and is back in front, but not by too much. It's clearly an expensive platform, still a work in process (in my opinion, if you include Window's scheduler as a part of that), and the POWER they are using concerns me. - AMD does a little less performance w/ so much less power. A couple months of software updates and Alderlake will shine more. But in several months AMD may have new CPU's coming out to steal some of that market, and who knows if they will play hardball w/ the prices to gain old Intel customers.

Honestly, what difference does it make if your CPU can provide 600 fps or 750 fps? Is there anyone on this planet who can tell the difference when playing a game? I didn't think so ...

For certain programs like DaVinci Resolve the 12900 is faster, no doubt about it. So if you are using that video editor the Intel chip will get a bit more work done for you in a given amount of time.

But for your average person all of these 12 and 16 and, no doubt soon to be, 24 core desktop CPUs are grotesque overkill. Not to mention an expenditure of cold hard cash that is unnecessary for for your average gamer. Or your average PC user of almost any sort.

160fps 1% lows trash bruh....

so the thread scheduler is bs

Hi, I just build the win10 with 12900k, it is okey only for gaming? thank you

I’m sorry guys but the difference in fairness and quality between this video and the video I saw on another more well known, extremely large tech channel, isn’t even in the same ballpark. Haven’t even gotten to the halfway point yet, but the way this starts by pointing out the crazy variances in power and heat, along with testing on all platforms, is in my opinion the only ethical way to do this.

space heater mode ! stock or overclocked ¿? jajajaja awesome info thanks.

Quite a comprehensive review of the new Intel Alder Lake CPU's performance on Windows 10 and 11. I will not be upgrading my systems to Windows 11 until SP1 /Feature Update 2022 has been released, the released version of Windows 11 is not ready.

Hey guys. How about a top 5 Un-LEDded keyboards?

'12900k easily beats the 5950X' Shows the 5950X beating the 12900k. Hope you enjoy your Intel money.

It's weird that OS helps only new CPUs from Intel to shine. I'll skip this for Zen 4.

Like what everybody say, don't buy something just from future promises.

To me the fact that gen 12 doesn't work perfectly on win10 isn't frustrating, considering win 11 is a free upgrade from 10. If you buy a brand new config to follow and be on top of the technology, why would you waste your time installing a Windows (10) dinosaurs on it!

If you want to buy alder lake cpu beware that if you utilize the cpu 100% you need 360mm aio and possibly expensive power supply
