Amazing single-core and multi-core performance
DDR5 memory support
Industry-leading gaming performance
Still faster than the best AMD has to offer
Stunning performance
Z690 platform with DDR5 can handle almost anything

Stunning performance, Z690 platform with DDR5 can handle almost anything,
So much power, so much heat, BIOS support is patchy, The value-for-money argument is awful,
We fully expected the Core i9-12900KS would draw too much power and produce too much heat, however we did not predict the results that we saw.Gigabyte fed the CPU with 250W, which is in line with Intel's specification, and the performance was fairly lousy...
Amazing single-core and multi-core performance, DDR5 memory support, Industry-leading gaming performance, Still faster than the best AMD has to offer
Expensive, Very hot and power-hungry
No, buy the Core i9-12900K instead. The Core i9-12900KS is a product for bragging rights, and Intel is taking advantage of that with an obscene price hike. The differences for $200 are so minor that they're irrelevant, and in some cases, it even seems tha...

Summarizing this review, the Core i9-12900KS is a very fast chip when it comes strict to performance. But overall we find it something of a mixed bag, and perhaps foolishy, we expected a little more.The Core i9-12900KS has a 1K per unit price of $739 but...

Faster clocks than "ordinary" Core i9-12900K, including 5,5GHz peak on two cores, 16-core design, Integrated graphics, unlike competing Ryzen 9s, Nifty collectors' tin
Runs very hot, Big price premium over Core i9-12900K for modest gains, Demands robust, high-end cooling
Abstract: Intel certainly has been on a roll lately. 10nm Intel 7 node manufacturing process (finally) in full swing. 12th Generation Core I-series (with its paradigm shifting Big.Little hybrid approach to mainstream processor design) selling as fast as they hit re...

Fastest gaming CPU
Unnecessarily more expensive than the 12900K, Just a binsorted chip, Draws a huge amount of power as standard
With Silicon Lottery shutting down, at least Intel is offering its own hyper expensive bin sorted chips. And that's about the most positive thing I can say about this just about fastest gaming CPU around...

It seems to be the month for slightly refined versions of already existing products. We've only just looked at the Nvidia RTX 3090 Ti which was an RTX 3090 with a slight boost to the clock speeds and a little more hardware under the hood. That product, th...

Abstract: The Core i9-12900KS is a new, but also not that new CPU from Intel. We reviewed the 12900K when it was released about six months ago and were very impressed with its performance. It was a great showcase for the Alder Lake architecture, though it was a hot...
