A recently uploaded benchmark on an engineering sample of an Intel Alder Lake Core i9-12900 non-K processor is giving us our first look at the new, lower-powered processor – and the results look pretty impressive.

The benchmark showed up on UserBenchmark, apparently from an engineer in Taiwan who might have forgotten to disconnect their system from the internet to prevent benchmarks from being uploaded to the benchmark’s database server.

According to the benchmark result, the i9-12900 non-K, which has a reduced TDP of 65W from the Core i9-12900K’s 125W TDP, scored 114% overall, with a single-core score of 214 and a 2,510 in its multithread test.
