[hardware] Intel 10nm Alder Lake 16 Core & 24 Thread Desktop CPU Tested, 2.2 GHz Chip On Par With A Core i9-10900K In Engineering State

[#Drennn.]

 

A brand new entry of the Intel Alder Lake Desktop CPU has been made within the Geekbench benchmark. This particular entry is yet another 16 core variant which we have already seen a couple of times before but comes with slightly better clock speeds but still retains an ES state.

The Intel Alder Lake Desktop CPU is an engineering sample and should be part of the 12th Gen Core family when it launches in the third quarter of 2021. As we know, the Alder Lake CPUs will feature a hybrid design that will feature both Big x86 and smaller Atom cores.

The bigger cores (Golden Cove) will feature multi-threading so it should be equivalent to 8 cores and 16 threads. The smaller cores (Gracemont) however won't feature SMT and will be configured at 8 cores and 8 threads. This would yield a total of 16 cores and 24 threads.
