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 ESTGaming Performance: iGPU
All of our game testing results, including other resolutions, can be found in our benchmark database: www.anandtech.com/bench. All gaming tests here were run using integrated graphics, with a variation of 720p resolutions and at minimum settings.
We are using DDR5 memory for Alder Lake at the following settings:
- DDR5-4800(B) CL40
All of AMD's Ryzen APUs were tested with DDR4 memory at the relevant JEDEC specifications of each chip.
Final Fantasy 14
World of Tanks
Borderlands 3
Far Cry 5
Gears Tactics
Grand Theft Auto V
Strange Brigade (DirectX 12)
Performance on Intel's UHD 770 integrated graphics when compared to AMD's Ryzen APUs came solely down to the intensity of the game title. In scenarios where titles favor CPU grunt, the 12th Gen Core series processors did well, but when it came to graphical performance, UHD 770 clearly trails AMD's integrated Radeon graphics.
The consensus here is that in all scenarios, AMD's Ryzen APUs are superior to Intel for low-budget gaming systems where discrete graphics aren't used. Intel really only makes the bare minimum investment in die space for their iGPU here, and it shows: UHD 770 is good enough for the bare minimum in gaming, and that's about it.

i still have issues with the intel systems i used to use. lan drivers on x58, and sata on x99. i solved those issues, buy upgrading tthem to ryzen based comps last year. no issues since.. even usb ones.Khanan - Sunday, April 3, 2022 - link
AMD was already very mature since Zen+, so if you had problems with 3rd gen products it is most likely your own issue. I used Zen 2 without any issues for 2 years now and Zen 3 is even better, millions of others will confirm what I say.Khanan - Sunday, April 3, 2022 - link
I wanna add: calling a product “beta” that millions of people love and regard just shows you’re living in a world of your own with full ignorance of what anyone else thinks. Good luckQasar - Sunday, April 3, 2022 - link
ignore dwade, if irememeber right, he loves intel only. and his posts usually bash amd in some way.i have 4 zen comps here, no isses as well.

It’s puzzling to me why a Intel fan would buy a AMD product, I guess Intel didn’t live up to his expectations.Qasar - Tuesday, April 5, 2022 - link
my guess, he never really bought one, and is just making crap up, just to bash amd, and proclaim how much better intel is.Zim - Thursday, March 31, 2022 - link
There is something fundamentally wrong with the concept a processor with gimped cores. I for one don't intend to buy into it.mode_13h - Friday, April 1, 2022 - link
What do you mean "gimped cores"? Are you talking about the lack of AVX-512?Did you know that Intel has been disabling features on their desktop CPUs for at least a decade? Things like vPro, ECC support, and virtualization enhancements have been fused off and limited to people buying the Xeon-branded versions of the same CPUs.
AMD has also engaged in this, to a lesser extent, reserving ECC support for only their Ryzen Pro APU, as well as a few other features.

This almost seems to be an Intel Commercial. No mention of the extreme motherboard prices that won't be used for the next CPU, the larger Watercooling needed, the bigger power supply needed, and don't forget the Bigger Electric Bill to boot. You are paying out the A&$ for that little extra performance by not being GREEN.I run 3 AMD PCs for Folding@home (#5 on Toms Hardware Team). My utility bill is $450-500/month. I can't imagine how high it would be with Intel CPU spinning the meter.... LOL

Sadly most of Anandtech's articles are just that. Intel Commercials.
