Intel Core CPU Clock-for-Clock Benchmark Test

[HardReset]

Yet the size is a lot different. Maybe it was just the caches a lot bigger. Seems to me there is more to compare between the E-cores than there is between the P-cores.

Caches perhaps are shared different way. But since E-cores are slow anyway and used only whe P cores are already in use (P-cores eat that shared cache in that case) there is not much point to test them.

Since they are so visually differing in size between generations, unlike the P-cores, we obviously beg to differ on worthiness of testing.

I doubt cores itself have changed at all. Same architecture, same manufacturing process. Even Intel says that so I see no reason for testing even if they look different.

Yeah, right, an increase in size is never an indication of change. Good one!

EDIT: Even if it is only the cache and bus structures improved on the E-cores, doing such changes is done for improving overall IPC.

I went from an 8700k to a 12900k and it was a significant upgrade. It'll be a while before I make the next jump.

I'd rather buy a new Mobo and CPU more often if it meant better features and even faster CPU's.
I'll choose innovation over saving a couple bucks 9 times out of 10.
