ALDER LAKE wins M1 Max on a benchmark

Last week, Intel announced a processor for desktop PCs, including the high-end 16-core "Core i9-12900K" as the 12th generation "Alder Lake" series.

Alder Lake is for desktops, but the comparison between M1 Pro and M1 MAX chips on Apple's MacBook Pro is interesting.M1 Pro and MAX are currently installed only on laptops, but they may be installed in new iMacs in the future.

According to the results of the benchmark software "Geekbench 5", "Core i9-12900K" has a maximum of about 1 in multi-core performance than M1 Pro and M1 MAX..It became clear that it was 5 times faster.

According to the tech media "Macrumors", the average multi-core score of M1 Pro and M1 MAX was about 12,500, while the average multi-core score of "Core i9-12900K" has been about 18,500 points so far.It is said that it is.

However, the media has pointed out that Alder Lake has improved performance, but there are also problems.That is the difference in power consumption.

"Core i9-12900K" is much faster than M1 Pro and M1 MAX, but clearly uses more power than Apple silicon.Intel states that this chip will use up to 125W and use up to 241W power during Turbo Boost.

Apple promises that power consumption anti -performance is the best in the industry, rather than the highest speed in the market.Apple's M1 series certainly achieves this feat and has a considerable advantage as a laptop processor.

For this reason, no matter how much you win the benchmark, you will not be the opponent of Apple silicon, which has a completely different power consumption.Furthermore, if Apple develops a CPU with more power consumption for desktops, there is a good chance that this lead will be easily overturned.

Intel is significantly delayed due to the miniaturization of the process that is important in the power consumption anti -power consumption of the CPU, and it takes a considerable amount of time to catch up with the industry standard.Alder Lake is designed in the 10nm process, while the current Apple silicon is a 5nm process.

In addition, Apple has reserved the production of chipset of 3nm processes of Taiwan TSMC, and is expected to continue the top of the industry.Alder Lake is excellent as a desktop CPU, but mobile for the mobile semiconductor industry is undoubtedly a major issue in the future to fight Apple silicon as a whole.。
