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.
