Intel Core i9-12900KS LGA1700 Desktop Processor (5.50 GHz / 16 Cores / 24 Threads)

Intel Core i9-12900KS Processor

Feature

• Take the next evolutionary leap. Powered by the performance hybrid architecture, which, for the first time in a desktop processor, incorporates two types of cores — Performance cores (P-cores) and Efficient cores (E-cores) — in a single processor, the 12th Gen Intel Core processors deliver optimized single-thread performance and multi-tasking efficiency for complicated modern workloads. The 12th Gen also ushers in DDR5 and PCIe 5.0 for a new level of platform performance.
• The Intel Core i9 12900KS Processor features 16 cores (8 P-cores and 8 E-cores) and insane 5.5 GHz max turbo frequency, making it the ultimate processor for gamers, content creators and more who want the fastest performance.
• Power up your productivity, gaming, and content-creation experiences by installing the Intel Core i9 12900KS 3.4 GHz 16-Core LGA 1700 Processor into your desktop computer system. Built using a Hybrid Core architecture with the Intel 7 process, this 12th generation desktop processor's 16 cores combine the performance of eight Efficient-cores and eight 3.4 GHz Performance-cores.
• The low-voltage Efficient-cores handle background tasks for multitasking while the Performance-cores provide speed for demanding applications and games. The built-in Intel Thread Director ensures that the two work seamlessly together by dynamically and intelligently assigning workloads to the right core at the right time to maximize performance.
• Additionally, this processor has a 5.3 GHz Turbo Boost Max 3.0 frequency with 30MB of cache for fast and reliable performance. Thermal Velocity Boost technology can temporarily push speeds up to 5.5 GHz when allowable to help accelerate burst workloads. The Core i9 12900KS also includes support for up to PCI Express 5.0 and dual-channel DDR5 memory at 4800 MHz to help run and multitask a variety of demanding applications. You can overclock this processor for even greater performance.
• The Core i9 12900KS features integrated Intel UHD 770 Graphics. Please note that a thermal solution is NOT included. The processor is compatible with Intel LGA 1700 socket motherboards and is backed by a 3-year warranty.

Hybrid Core Design

Intel Core i9 12900KS Processor has Background tasks are handled by the processor's Efficient-cores for multitasking while the Performance-cores provide the speed to handle high-end games and demanding applications.

Intel Thread Director

The Intel Thread Director is built into the CPU's cores, working with the operating system to ensure each of the 24 threads are assigned to the right core at the right time.

Thermal Velocity Boost

Intel Thermal Velocity Boost (TVB) technology unlocks extra CPU performance when thermal headroom and turbo power budget are available. So long as the CPU temperature is below the 122°F / 50°C threshold, the clock frequency may be temporarily increased when there is a sudden spike in CPU utilization, which can potentially avoid slowdowns.

PCIe 4.0 & 5.0

This processor supports up to four PCIe 4.0 and sixteen PCIe 5.0 lanes, delivering 20 lanes in total for exceptional data throughput with compatible devices.

Integrated Graphics

Driven by Intel Xe architecture, the integrated Intel UHD 770 Graphics delivers fast, rich 3D performance for high-quality visuals with support for either one 7680 x 4320 resolution 8K monitor or up to four 3840 x 2160 resolution 4K displays with high dynamic range.

Intel Deep Learning Boost

Accelerates AI inference to improve performance for deep learning workloads.

Gaussian & Neural Accelerator 3.0

Gaussian and Neural Accelerator 3.0 (GNA) technology helps with noise suppression while enhancing background blurring during video chats.
