Testing has revealed that Alder Lake P Core i5 parts are outperforming the corresponding higher Core i7 CPU variants. For consumers looking to buy some, this makes choosing much harder.
We reviewed a few new Alder Lake-P CPUs from Intel over the last two weeks and our concerns are supported by the test results. The power consumption is very high, which is a challenge for the cooling solutions. It is also a problem for customers, because a Core i5 can be more powerful than a Core i7 and there can be massive performance differences in general.
