Guess which one is rendered using P12 and which one with P11. Except for the capsule, all are using VinceBagna's shaders guaranteed: unmodified:

• Sphere: Metal: Chrome
• Bowl: Glass: Glass basic
• Disk: Liquids: Water+disp

Apart from the opportunity to start to explore the mat room:

• on complex scenes, P12 renders really faster (the Adaptative Sampling w/threshold helps for this),
• OptiX support,
• the last Cycles implementation (nearly up-to-date with Blender's), which means new complex, powerful nodes (PrincipledBsdf, which means new possibilities),
• as Ghostship showed it in another thread the nodes such as the glossy) are corrected/updated),
• auxiliary render data (in P11: only for Firefly)

Of course, P12 is still in early access, but updates are really more often (already 2 since the start of the early access)
