Intel Core i9-12900K Desktop Processor 16 (8P+8E) Cores up to 5.2 GHz Unlocked LGA1700 600 Series Chipset 125W

I decided after half a decade of using AMD I decided to give intel another try. I am happy to say that they won back another customer. Clock speeds are amazing and processes run seamlessly.

Had it for 5 months now and now problem at all

Good cpu

Now has a thin film over it. Don’t know how it receives electricity and signal from the socket on the motherboard, probably similar to wireless charging, but at least it protects the pins so less likely to damage them while handling the CPU during the build. After all CPU is the most or second mot expensive component in a PC build.

Was shipped and delivered on time and as expected. Great processor.

Potente, velocidad, gran desempeño... De verdad una gran maravilla lo que hace este procesador.

If you want the best. Get a i9 Intel CPU. For my music production its a dream come true

Genuinely not someone who leaves reviews but $500 and it gets packaged like this? The cpu box itself is fine but the case isn’t even in the box anymore bc it fell out to due crap packing

I bought this instead of the 12th gen i7 anticipating future demand for more cores. There is a price difference to consider. As many know, more cores doesnt necessarily mean better. Games only use a max of 6 cores, though it may vary from game to game. If you just want to game, buy the i7 series. My 4790k had served me so well, its still my backup on my old mobo. Its been at least 5 years since I bought ol reliable. Shes been through rough seas. It was time for her to rest easy.

This was a huge upgrade to my system for good price. Im back into the modern pc world. Win 11 runs great
