第12 代 ( Alder Lake ) 的^{(Alder Lake)}英特尔酷睿^{(Intel Core)}处理器看起来像是英特尔^(Intel)在过去几年中发布的一些最好的 CPU。新架构将强大的性能内核与速度较慢但效率更高的内核结合在一起，有望提供一流的整体性能。但是，这些处理器需要操作系统^{(operating system)}的帮助才能做到这一点。因此，在各种操作系统^{(operating system)}上使用它们之间应该存在一些有意义的差异。为了确切了解第 12代英特尔酷睿处理器^{(Gen Intel Core processor)}在Windows 10与 Windows 11^{(versus Windows 11)}中的性能对比，我们决定对其进行测试。这是我们学到的：

Intel Core i7-12700K和我们用来比较Windows 11 和 Windows 10的系统^{(vs. Windows 10)}

英特尔的Alder Lake 处理器^{(Alder Lake processor)}系列使用新型混合架构，具有用于要求（前台）任务的专用性能内核和用于后台服务的高效内核。这种架构承诺提供更好的性能，但需要^{(performance but needs)} 软件支持^{(software support)}，而且似乎只有 Windows 11 知道如何优化处理不同类型的内核。

这就是为什么我们想看看在Windows 11和 Windows 10上使用^{(versus Windows 10)}Intel 12 Gen Alder Lake 处理器^{(Gen Alder Lake processor)}之间是否存在有意义的差异。为此，我们使用了Intel Core i7-12700K处理器，这是一款来自Alder Lake 家族^{(Alder Lake family)}的高端台式机CPU，它有 12 个内核和 20 个线程。它有八个性能核心，最高运行速度为 5.0GHz，四个效率核心可加速至 3.8GHz。

具体来说，我们为此项目组装的 PC 具有以下硬件：

• 处理器：英特尔酷睿 i7-12700K^{(Intel Core i7-12700K)}（25M高速缓存^(Cache)，最高 5.00 GHz）
• 散热器：华硕ROG Ryujin II 360^{(ASUS ROG Ryujin II 360)}

英特尔酷睿 i7-12700K

现在让我们看看我们在 Windows 10 与 Windows 11 上使用 Intel Core i7-12700K CPU 在游戏和基准测试^{(Windows 10)}中的^{(Intel Core)}结果：^(CPU)

在Intel Core i7-12700K^{(Intel Core i7-12700K)}上比较Windows 11 与 Windows 10^{(vs. Windows 10)}的性能

我们从CPU-Z 单线程基准测试^{(CPU-Z Single Thread benchmark)}开始，它测试处理器的单核性能。使用英特尔酷睿 i7-12700K ，我们在^{(Intel Core i7-12700K)}Windows 10中获得了 779 分，这比我们在Windows 11中运行相同测试时获得的 791 分略低。这只是大约 1% 的微小差异，因此我们可以说这两个操作系统的单核性能是相同的。

在 CPU-Z 的多线程测试^{(Multi Thread test)}中，英特尔酷睿 i7-12700K在^{(Intel Core i7-12700K)}Windows 10中获得了 9280 分，在Windows 11中获得了9300 分。同样^(Again)，性能差异非常非常小，大约为 0.2%。

在渲染基准^{(rendering benchmark)}Cinebench R23中，英特尔酷睿 i7-12700K^{(Intel Core i7-12700K)}在Windows 10中的表现优于Windows 11。在Windows 10上，我们获得了 22533 分，比我们在Windows 11中获得的 22032 分高出 2.2% 。对于Windows 10^{(Windows 10)}来说，这是一个小小的并驾齐驱的胜利。🙂

尽管如此，在我们运行的第二个渲染基准^{(rendering benchmark)}Blender中，英特尔酷睿 i7-12700K在^{(Intel Core i7-12700K)}Windows 10中的速度与在Windows 11中一样快。在这两种操作系统上，我们的测试计算机^{(test computer)}在 6.8 分钟内完成了渲染工作。又一个平局……

PCMark 10评估处理器在日常计算任务中的强大程度，例如网页浏览^{(web browsing)}、视频会议^{(video conferencing)}、应用程序启动时间、生产力和数字内容创建^{(content creation)}。在此基准测试中，与Windows 11相比，Windows 10中的^{(Windows 10)}Intel Core i7-12700K大约慢 18% 。这是Windows 11^{(Windows 11)}明显胜出的第一个基准测试，而且还以很大的优势获胜！

在7-Zip的基准测试中，英特尔酷睿 i7-12700K^{(Intel Core i7-12700K)}在Windows 10和Windows 11中压缩数据的速度一样快。

然而，在7-Zip的解压测试^{(decompression test)}中，Windows 10 似乎快了一点点：Intel Core i7-12700K比Windows 11快了大约 0.7% 。我们不会称之为^{(t call)}胜利, 而只是没有统计相关性的微小偏差。

我们还在 Google Chrome 中运行JetStream 2^{(Google Chrome)}来^{(JetStream 2)}检查处理器在浏览网页时的速度。让我们大吃一惊：Windows 10上的Intel Core i7-12700K比Windows 11慢 15% ！在PCMark 10之后，这是Windows 11以显着优势获胜的第二次测试。

3DMark 现在包含一个基准测试，旨在仅测量处理器的游戏性能。它能够显示CPU在仅使用部分内核和使用所有内核时的性能。由于当今大多数游戏和要求苛刻的应用程序都可以从多核中受益，因此我们比较了该基准的全核结果。英特尔酷睿 i7-12700K在^{(Intel Core i7-12700K)}Windows 10和Windows 11中的得分几乎相同（差异小于 0.07 % difference）。

如果您正在考虑升级到Windows 11，那么您很有可能想要升级，因为您是一名游戏玩家，微软承诺^{(gamer and Microsoft promises)}在这个新操作系统^{(operating system)}中提供更好的性能。为了更清楚地了解^{(clearer idea)}这是否是真的，而不是考虑未来的承诺，我们还运行了几场比赛。我们使用了 1080p 分辨率和每个可用的最低图形细节，这样视频卡^{(video card wouldn)}就不会减慢处理器的速度。

在《古墓丽影^(Shadow)》^{(Tomb Raider)}中，内置基准测试在Windows 10中测得的平均帧速率为 233 ，这实际上与我们在Windows 11中获得的 230 fps 相同。三帧差异^{(frame difference)}没有意义，并且完全在边际误差^{(margin error)}范围内。

在Metro Exodus中，我们再次看到^{(Metro Exodus)}Windows 10和Windows 11之间只有非常小的差异。在Windows 11中，游戏每秒多渲染 9 帧，但这微不足道。

我们想要进行基准测试的第四款也是最后一款游戏是《刺客信条：英灵殿》^{(Creed Valhalla)}。我们在Windows 11中获得了 168 fps 。但是，不幸的是，无论如何它都不想在Windows 10上运行。^{(Windows 10)}我们在育碧的论坛和其他网站上尝试了所有的故障排除方法，但它只是拒绝启动，我们一启动就崩溃了。我们的假设是，这款游戏与与Denuvo^(Denuvo)相关的英特尔Alder Lake处理器存在问题，这种可怕的反盗版解决方案似乎不断破坏并减慢使用它的游戏。

如果您拥有第 12代英特尔酷睿处理器^{(Gen Intel Core processor)}，是否值得升级到Windows 11？

我们对获得的大多数基准测试结果并不感到惊讶。他们中的大多数人表明，英特尔酷睿 i7-12700K处理器在^{(Intel Core i7-12700K)}Windows 10和Windows 11中提供了相同水平的性能。但是，PCMark 10和JetStream 2基准测试表明，Windows 11在一般计算任务和网页浏览方面的运行速度比Windows 10快。^{(Windows 10)}再加上我们在《刺客信条：^(Creed)英灵^{(Windows 11)}殿》中注意到的^{(Windows 10)}DRM 问题^{(DRM issue)}，我们认为如果您有英特尔 Alder Lake 处理器^{(Intel Alder Lake processor)}。

Windows 11 vs. Windows 10 on 12th Gen Intel Core processors

The Intel Core processors from thе 12th generation (Alder Lake) are looking like some of the best CPUs released by Intel in the last couple of years. Thе new аrchitecture brews together powerful performance cores with slowеr but more efficient cores, promising to deliver top-notch overall performance. However, these processors need the help of the operating system tо do that. As such, there ѕhould be some meaningful differences between using them on varіous operating ѕystems. To find out exactly how much better a 12 Gen Intel Core processor is in Windows 10 versus Windows 11, we decided to test it. Here’ѕ what we’ve learned:

Intel Core i7-12700K and the system we used to compare Windows 11 vs. Windows 10

Intel’s Alder Lake processor family uses a new type of hybrid architecture with specialized performance cores for demanding (foreground) tasks and efficient cores for background services. This architecture promises to offer better performance but needs software support, and it seems that only Windows 11 knows how to optimally address the different types of cores.

That’s why we wanted to see whether there are meaningful differences between using an Intel 12 Gen Alder Lake processor on Windows 11 versus Windows 10. To do that, we used an Intel Core i7-12700K processor, a high-end desktop CPU from the Alder Lake family, which counts 12 cores and 20 threads. It has eight performance cores that run at a maximum speed of 5.0GHz and four efficiency cores that can turbo boost to 3.8GHz.

In detail, the PC we assembled for this project had the following hardware:

• Processor: Intel Core i7-12700K (25M Cache, up to 5.00 GHz)
• Cooler: ASUS ROG Ryujin II 360
• Motherboard: Gigabyte Z690 AORUS Pro
• Memory: Kingston FURY Beast DDR5 Memory (2 x 16GB, 4800MHz)
• Graphics Card: ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 3090 (24GB GDDR6X, 384-bit, PCIe 4.0)
• Storage: Kingston KC3000 SSD (2TB, PCI-Express 4.0)
• Monitor: ASUS ROG Strix XG32VQ Curved Gaming Monitor (2560 x 1440 resolution, at 144Hz)
• Power Supply Unit: ASUS ROG Thor 850W Platinum

The Intel Core i7-12700K

Now let’s see what results we have had in games and benchmarks using the Intel Core i7-12700K CPU on Windows 10 versus Windows 11:

Comparing Windows 11 vs. Windows 10 performance on the Intel Core i7-12700K

We started with the CPU-Z Single Thread benchmark, which tests the single-core performance of the processor. With the Intel Core i7-12700K, we got a score of 779 points in Windows 10, which is a bit lower than the 791 points that we got when running the same test in Windows 11. That’s a tiny difference of only about 1%, so we’d say that single-core performance is identical in the two operating systems.

In the CPU-Z’s Multi Thread test, the Intel Core i7-12700K got a score of 9280 points in Windows 10, and 9300 points in Windows 11. Again, the difference in performance is very, very small, about 0.2%.

In Cinebench R23, a rendering benchmark, the Intel Core i7-12700K did better in Windows 10 than Windows 11. On Windows 10, we got 22533 points, which is 2.2% better than the 22032 points we got in Windows 11. That’s a tiny neck-to-neck victory for Windows 10. 🙂

Still, in the second rendering benchmark that we ran, Blender, the Intel Core i7-12700K was just as fast in Windows 10 as it was in Windows 11. On both operating systems, our test computer finished the rendering jobs in 6.8 minutes. Another draw…

PCMark 10 evaluates how powerful a processor is in daily computing tasks such as web browsing, video conferencing, apps start-up times, productivity, and digital content creation. In this benchmark, the Intel Core i7-12700K was roughly 18% slower in Windows 10 compared to Windows 11. It’s the first benchmark where Windows 11 clearly wins, and by a large margin too!

In 7-Zip's benchmark, the Intel Core i7-12700K was just as fast at compressing data in both Windows 10 and Windows 11.

However, in 7-Zip's decompression test, Windows 10 appeared to be a tiny bit faster: the Intel Core i7-12700K was about 0.7% faster than in Windows 11. We wouldn’t call that a win, rather just a tiny deviation without statistical relevance.

We also ran JetStream 2 in Google Chrome to check the processor’s speed when browsing the web. And we were in for a surprise: the Intel Core i7-12700K on Windows 10 was about 15% slower than on Windows 11! After PCMark 10, this is the second test in which Windows 11 wins by a significant margin.

3DMark now includes a benchmark designed to measure solely the gaming performance of processors. It’s able to show how good a CPU is when using just some of its cores and when using all of them. As most present-day games and demanding apps can benefit from multiple cores, we compared the all-core results from this benchmark. The Intel Core i7-12700K got almost identical scores in Windows 10 and Windows 11 (less than 0.07% difference).

If you’re thinking about upgrading to Windows 11, there’s a high probability that you want that because you’re a gamer and Microsoft promises better performance in this new operating system. To get a clearer idea of whether that’s true right now, not thinking about future promises, we also ran a few games. We used 1080p resolution and the lowest graphic details available for each of them, so that the video card wouldn’t slow down the processor.

In Shadow of the Tomb Raider, the built-in benchmark measured an average framerate of 233 in Windows 10, which is practically the same as the 230 fps we got in Windows 11. A three frame difference is not meaningful and falls well within the margin error.

In Metro Exodus, we saw again only a very small difference between Windows 10 and Windows 11. In Windows 11, the game rendered 9 frames per second more, but that’s insignificant.

Intel Core i7-12700K: Metro Exodus average fps in Windows 10 vs. Windows 11

In Horizon Zero Dawn, the Intel Core i7-12700K delivered the same level of performance in Windows 11 as it did in Windows 10.

Intel Core i7-12700K: Horizon Zero Dawn average fps in Windows 10 vs. Windows 11

The fourth and final game we wanted to benchmark was Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. We got 168 fps in Windows 11. But, unfortunately, it didn’t want to run on Windows 10 no matter what. We tried all the troubleshooting ideas on Ubisoft’s forums and other websites, but it simply refused to start, crashing as soon as we launched it. Our supposition is that this game has issues with Intel’s Alder Lake processors, related to Denuvo, that dreaded anti-piracy solution that seems to keep on breaking things and slowing down games that use it.

NOTE: For more details about this issue, read the List of Games Affected by DRM Issue in 12th Gen Intel® Core™ Processors for Windows 11* and Windows® 10.

Is it worth upgrading to Windows 11 if you have a 12 Gen Intel Core processor?

We are not amazed by most of the benchmarks results we got. Most of them showed that the Intel Core i7-12700K processor delivers the same level of performance in general, both in Windows 10 and in Windows 11. However, the PCMark 10 and the JetStream 2 benchmarks showed that Windows 11 runs faster than Windows 10 in general computing tasks and web browsing. Coupled with the DRM issue that we’ve noticed for Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla, we think that it is a better idea to use Windows 11 instead of Windows 10 if you have an Intel Alder Lake processor.

If you’ve made similar experiments to ours, don’t hesitate to comment below and share your results. Did you notice other meaningful differences on top of the ones we’ve identified?

NOTE: The new processors from Intel 12th Generation – can be purchased in the EMEA region through ASBIS, the official distributor for Intel products.
