Intel Alder Lake-S based Core i7-12700K CPU Sample Reveals 12 Cores and 24 Threads with 25MB of Cache. Here's What We Know So Far

• A sample of Intel Alder Lake-S Based Core i7-12700k CPU has been seen on SiS Software Sandra Database
• The Lisiting reveals the 12th Gen Intel i7 to feature 12 Cores with 24 Threads and the cache being 25MB
• Other sources also suggests that the 24 Threads has been calucated which is actually 12 Cores & 20 Threads

The Intel’s Alder Lake-S based Core i7-12700K CPU has been discovered on the SiS Software Sandra Database as per a report by wccftech. There’s not a given CPU name on the listing website although WCCFTECH says the specs are most likely of the upcoming Intels 12th Gen Alder Lake-S i7 CPU. Talking about what’s given on the website, the sample is seen with 12 Cores (8x Golden Cove and 4x Goldmont) and a total of 24 Thread count and 25 MB of L3 Cache and the clock speeds is seen to be at a 1.20 GHz base and 3.40 GHz boost frequency (for engineering samples, actual retails versions should be much higher than this).

Moreover, the actual core/thread count might be inaccurate so does the specified cache, as the existing software suites aren’t updated enough to recognize the Intel 12th Gens ~ says wccftech. A Twitter user, also suggests that the actual core/thread count will be 12 cores and 20 threads, and 24 threads are misreported.

Probably i7 12700K
– 12C 20T (misreported as 24T)
– 8*1.25MB + 4*384KB = 11.5MB L2
> L2 cache is reported as 9 core, I think that is right due to 4 small core = 1 cluster. Benchmark could recognize cluster unit.
– 8*2.75MB(cut from full of 3MB) + 4*768KB = 25MB L3 https://t.co/fO84Bz2qM3
