Microsoft Flight Simulator
The more efficient Alder Lake processors with TDP/PL1 35–65 W are out. We are, of course, ready, and for a perfect overview we have complete tests of the Core i5-12400, i.e. the successor of the most popular models of the past generations. You can compare this processor in all aspects not only with them, but also with the Ryzen 5 5600X . It looks like this processor will sell like hot cakes.

Note: We are not using the results from this game to calculate the average game performance. This is because after the big July update, the performance has changed significantly, as you can see inthis test,and we have re-tested only some processors.
