Intel Alder Lake-S processor, the first idea of ​​gaming performance

The next generation Intel processor, the Alder Lake-S is about to introduce significant changes. It is expected to use two types of cores and a DDR5 compatible memory controller.

Architecture is said to be a hybrid that puts forward “big” computing cores (Golden Cove x86) and intelligent and frugal hearts (Gracemont). Adopting a new generation memory controller is another big step. This allows the use of DDR5.

Alder Lake-S processor and gaming

Alder Lake-S is still a mystery but leaks are on the rise. So we have “bridges” of interesting information. Database ofConsumption CapframeX offers some of the results obtained by configuring this new generation Intel processor. We have data around the frequency with 2.2 GHz, but no details on the number of its cores. In parallel the GeForce RTX 3080 is listed, as well as the DDR5 calibrated at 4800 MHz.

This trio ensures an average frame rate of 119.98 fps below the DOTA 2 game. Unfortunately it is unclear whether this number has the level of definition or detail used by us.
