Even though AOTS is an old benchmark, the Core i9-12900K appears to be faster than both current-gen Intel and AMD flagship chips. > There have been at least 21 entries that have been spotted by Benchleaks and all of them feature the Intel Core i9-12900K along with 64 GB of memory. Since the benchmark is a bit old by today's standards, it is unable to recognize the proper core/thread count for the Alder Lake CPU which is 16 cores and 24 threads whereas the benchmark reports its as 24 physical cores & 24 logical cores.
