The Intel Core i7-12700K and Core i5-12600K Review: High Performance For the Mid-Range
by Gavin Bonshor on March 29, 2022 8:00 AM ESTGaming Performance: iGPU
All of our game testing results, including other resolutions, can be found in our benchmark database: www.anandtech.com/bench. All gaming tests here were run using integrated graphics, with a variation of 720p resolutions and at minimum settings.
We are using DDR5 memory for Alder Lake at the following settings:
- DDR5-4800(B) CL40
All of AMD's Ryzen APUs were tested with DDR4 memory at the relevant JEDEC specifications of each chip.
Final Fantasy 14
World of Tanks
Borderlands 3
Far Cry 5
Gears Tactics
Grand Theft Auto V
Strange Brigade (DirectX 12)
Performance on Intel's UHD 770 integrated graphics when compared to AMD's Ryzen APUs came solely down to the intensity of the game title. In scenarios where titles favor CPU grunt, the 12th Gen Core series processors did well, but when it came to graphical performance, UHD 770 clearly trails AMD's integrated Radeon graphics.
The consensus here is that in all scenarios, AMD's Ryzen APUs are superior to Intel for low-budget gaming systems where discrete graphics aren't used. Intel really only makes the bare minimum investment in die space for their iGPU here, and it shows: UHD 770 is good enough for the bare minimum in gaming, and that's about it.

Need opinions:Should I go for a Surface Pro X SQ1, 128GB/8GB for $700 over a Surface Pro 7+ Core i5, 128GB/8GB for $800?
I won't be using either for gaming...other than what's available in the Windows Marketplace.
The Pro X allows for upgrading the storage. Don't know if the Pro 7+ allows that.

No idea. I'd read through every review of the X you can find and see if it sounds like it'll fit your needs. Running Windows on an ARM-based CPU still sounds a little risky, but maybe it'll pay off in better battery life? Just a guess.Good luck with your decision.

No offense, but....The reviews of these two CPUs seem just a tad.....'late to market'....!

2-3% better on average then a Ryzen 5600X for twice the power consumption? Does not seem high performance for me.
