Because they have to rely on much higher clock speeds and have a huge big core count disadvantage to barely match 16C Zen3 at 4 Ghz. Do you understand this?
And whose fault is that? Hmmmmmmm?
(yes, I do understand that fact, which is why I commented in the first place)
Correction: They appear to be inefficient in the range where the 12900k can start to beat the 5950x in some MT workloads.
How a 12700k compares vs a 5900x, or a 12600k compares vs a 5800x is still very much TBD. And as somebody with a limited budget, I am far more interested in the latter two comparisons.
The 12900k is their flagship. It's not really gonna look good for them when it struggles against a CPU from a year ago, fabbed on an N7.
