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

Im very satisfied with this processor, Ive used Intel for many years now and Ive never had any problems with them. Looking back when I first started computer gaming, I was gaming on a 386 dx66 that I bought from Mongomery Wards...lol..

Received at least a week earlier than the scheduled assessment for delivery.

The processor performs excellent, without any problem, I have it mounted on a MSI Z690 Force WiFi board and cooled with a Corsair iCUE H150i Elite Capellix liquid cooler.

STABLE FOR OVERCLOCKING

Intel has knocked it in the bleachers with this one. Super fast. No OC necessary. Using it with Win11 and a 3080 gpu. Incredible. Not regretting it at all. Glad I decided to go with Intel on this build

This isnt the processor for everyone, but it is very fast. The individual cores arent significantly different from those in the 13th generation i7. But if you have a need for a lot of parallel processing then this may be the processor for you. I do software development, which it doesnt help 99% of the time, gaming, which it helps a little, and occasionally transcoding large amounts of video and music. During transcoding it helps a huge amount. I have over 300GB of FLAC audio files that I ripped from my CD collection, I never buy mp3s. I wanted to have that on my phone, but I didnt want to carry it at full rate because I cant tell the difference in the car, so I transcoded it. I had done that once before and it took more than a day on a five year old Ryzen 7. This machine took around 30 minutes. 30-40 times faster. At work the optics team, which uses ray tracing software to design optical telescopes and laser focusing lenses, uses i9s in preference to Xeons. The Xeons might be faster under some circumstances, but the machines are hugely expensive, so the i9s are much better for price performance. Would I buy it again? Id probably buy the 13th generation, but if I had any sense Id just get the 13th gen i7.

VROOOOM

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

Good quality

So just going to say that it went right onto the mother board. Like easist one I have ever placed. Just read which is up.
