The Intel CPU is pretty underwhelming. It has twice the number of high performance cores (16 vs 8) but is only 37% faster for multi-core tasks.

- eMSF 5y agoThat Intel CPU (12900K) has 8 performance cores, i.e. as many as M1 Max.
- runeks 5y agoNot as far as I can see. > The Intel Core i9-12900K operates with 16 cores and 24 CPU threads. It run at 5.30 GHz base 5.00 GHz all cores while the TDP is set at 125 W. https://cpu-comparison.com/intel-core-i9-12900k/ https://cpu-comparison.com/intel-core-i9-12900k/
- eMSF 5y ago12900K has 8 high performance cores (with 2 hardware threads each, look up hyperthreading), and 8 efficiency cores for a total sum of 24 hardware threads. Previous Intel generations have only had so called high performance cores (except, maybe, for the Atom line of CPUs), even though not all of them have had hyperthreading enabled.
- colinmhayes 5y agoI guess that's what happens when Apple's process is a generation ahead of Intel's.
