The Intel Core i7-12700K and Core i5-12600K Review: High Performance For the Mid-Range
by Gavin Bonshor on March 29, 2022 8:00 AM ESTCPU Benchmark Performance: Simulation And Rendering
Simulation and Science have a lot of overlap in the benchmarking world, however for this distinction we’re separating into two segments mostly based on the utility of the resulting data. The benchmarks that fall under Science have a distinct use for the data they output – in our Simulation section, these act more like synthetics but at some level are still trying to simulate a given environment.
We are using DDR5 memory at the following settings:
- DDR5-4800(B) CL40
Simulation
When it comes to simulation, the combination of high core frequency and better IPC performance gives Intel's 12th Gen Core series the advantage here in most situations.
Rendering
Looking at performance in the rendering section of our test suite, both the Core i7 and Core i5 performed creditably. The biggest factor to consider here is a higher core and thread count plus IPC performance will equal more rendering power.

Need opinions:Should I go for a Surface Pro X SQ1, 128GB/8GB for $700 over a Surface Pro 7+ Core i5, 128GB/8GB for $800?
I won't be using either for gaming...other than what's available in the Windows Marketplace.
The Pro X allows for upgrading the storage. Don't know if the Pro 7+ allows that.

No idea. I'd read through every review of the X you can find and see if it sounds like it'll fit your needs. Running Windows on an ARM-based CPU still sounds a little risky, but maybe it'll pay off in better battery life? Just a guess.Good luck with your decision.

No offense, but....The reviews of these two CPUs seem just a tad.....'late to market'....!

2-3% better on average then a Ryzen 5600X for twice the power consumption? Does not seem high performance for me.
