An Intel Alder Lake Desktop CPU has been spotted within the Geekbench 5 benchmark that packs 14 cores and 20 threads. The chip is one of the many engineering samples of the Alder Lake lineup that we have seen so far and we also get to see some very early performance results.

The Intel Alder Lake-S Desktop CPU tested here is definitely a very early engineering sample. For specs, we are looking at 14 cores and 20 threads. This core and thread configuration is possible through a 6+8 SKU. The 6 larger cores are based on the Golden Cove architecture with 12 threads and the 8 smaller cores are based on the Goldmont architecture with 8 threads. As for other specs, we are looking at 24 MB of L3 cache. The chip should feature 10 MB of L2 cache (as reported with the detailed CPU dies) and not 2 MB as is reported here.
