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

Its a good CPU, able to game and do the productive stuff. I paired it with DDR5. People say it gets hot but I havent found that even though Im only using a Noctua air cooler. Those little E cores actually do some work, and of course the P cores are fast. Its funny that the E cores are considered efficiency cores because they do use a lot of power.

So far I really like it. It is very fast

From all the benchmarks Ive seen this is superior to anything AMD has to offer. when it comes to power and reliability buy intel, it works with everything!

My desktop simply rocks with this CPU

FAST CPU, Great Value for the Power!!!

Lo mejor que ha lanzado Intel hasta ahora

I got this over a 13th Gen since it is now fairly inexpensive and still plenty fast. I am using the Asus ROG Strix z690-E mobo so I should be able to upgrade to 13th Gen when those come down in price. This CPU needs a good cooler, I am using a ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II 360 with Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut. I am dual booting Linux and Win10 though I am running games mostly on Steam under Linux. Works surprisingly well.

I installed a large air cooler with 3 fans in large desktop with 5 fans and good airflow. but it is not enough for the recently released i912900KF. it still overheats and reaches 90c-96c degrees within 7-10 minutes of rendering when its 90% workload.

Its a beast that does the job that you expect it to do. You can spend more money for a small amount of perfoirmance gain. This is the sweetspot that I expect it to be. Takes everything I can throw at it.

Intel processor very pwerfull, recommend in 2023
