This can be useful for you to test your processor and compare it with others.

Well, I tried it and this is what I got for a CPU Rating: 38,979. The i9-12950HX is at: 39,136. So the CPU's you and I have are right up there with the best performing current intel CPU's. Wow, even having had this system for 4+ years, it's still going strong!

1) How much faster is that setup you have over my current system?
2) Is the 12900K the fastest CPU? Or is there a faster one?
3) Will this work continue to work with Ventura (as it seems to work with some Intel based systems).
4) Is apple completely phasing out any compatibility with intel systems?

Answer whatever you can. Thanks again. :cool:
1) It depends whether you're looking for single-thread (Alder Lake) or multi-thread (where Core-X, Xeon W/Scalable can still hold its ground). And, of course, if you do need more than 16/20 PCIe lanes, X299/C422/C621(A) is still the way to go.
2) Yes for now. Wait for Raptor Lake.
3) It seems so.
4) The writing on the wall has been plain for all to see for quite some time.

Very strange, I have the same CPU as @tucoboy - at default clock with the ram also at default clock - but the result of my test is far from its.

It depends on how the bios is configured, and the cooling you use. Also each processor is different, I have the same processor and I get 37572.

Interesting, when you and @tucoboy have the desire and time can you post the settings of your bios?
