Intel Core i3 12 Gen Alder Lake processor significantly outperforms AMD Ryzen competitors in leaked benchmark

It seems Intel is set to retake the PC performance crown convincingly with its 12 generation Alder Lake processors, even in the affordable price segment.

A leaked sample of the Core i3-1200 version of the processor has been benchmarked by Chinese hardware site XFASTEST and it crushes the competition in the price segment.

When compared to AMD Zen 2-based Ryzen 3 3300X and 3100 DIY CPUs, the Intel Core i3-1200 processor paired with the ASRock Z690 Steel Legend WiFi 6E DDR4 motherboard outperformed the AMD processors in most benchmarks as can be seen below:

The Core i3 processor with 60W PL1 and 77W PL2 rating appears to be a 4-core, 8-thread SKU, and outdid the AMD parts not only when it came to performance, but also offered better temperature management and heat dissipation, despite not having any low-power cores.

The Core i3-12100 will supposedly retail for around 1,000 HKD, which translates to $128.32, making it the clear entry-level king.
