Latest Alder Lake-S benchmarks have it beating the Core i9-9900K

Even though Geekbench doesn't appear to know what to do with the ES hybrid core config.

'Leaked' benchmarks have to be taken with a pinch of salt, of course, but it's reassuring that it looks to be performing decently at non-final clocks. Alder Lake is definitely shaping up to be one of Intel's most interesting releases in quite some time, IMO.

27.2GHz? Tejas is back it seems.

But why exactly do we need big.LITTLE in a desktop?

Because it's the only way to say that they've got a 16 core processor?

...because it might save you a few pennies on your electric bill. maybe.

...because Intel though they make life interesting for kernel and driver programmers?
To all ye kernel level programmers, may you live in interesting times.

I would honestly not be surprised if Intel somehow managed to make the power consumption increase with the smaller cores added.

That's quite possible because interconnects also take power, and they'll be gluing those chips together somehow.

Iv been waiting for years for socket 1700 with DDR5. glad to see its finally going to be released relatively soon.
