Intel Teases Core i9-12900KS Alder Lake CPU With Up To five.5 GHz Increase Clock, 5.2 GHz All P-Core Increase

Written by Jeff Lampkin

Intel appears to have teased its upcoming pre-binned Core i9-12900KS Alder Lake CPU which can very properly be the primary chip to characteristic a lift clock of as much as 5.5 GHz.

Intel’s Core i9-12900KS Teased, First CPU To Characteristic 5.5 GHz Increase Clock & 5.2 GHz Throughout All P-Cores

In a tweet by Intel Know-how, an Intel Alder Lake CPU is proven together with a tab of HWiNFO open that exhibits the clock speeds of a 16 core (8+8) half. That is prone to be the pre-binned Intel Core i9-12900KS CPU which was reported a couple of weeks again. The ‘S’ stands for particular version and we have now seen a couple of of these from Intel up to now with the final one being the Core i9-9900KS which we reviewed right here.

That final pre-binned chip was launched again in 2019 so it has been 2-generations since Intel hasn’t launched a brand new pre-binned chip themselves. Additionally, since Silicon Lottery has shut its doorways, there isn’t any different approach to get binned CPUs other than getting a big inventory and sorting them by yourselves. It appears like Intel might goal the area of interest overclocking market with this pre-binned variant that may provide higher chip stability for greater clocks.

The Intel Core i9-12900KS would be the flagship chip within the twelfth Gen Alder Lake Desktop CPU lineup. It would characteristic 8 Golden Cove cores and eight Gracemont cores for a complete of 16 cores (8+8) and 24 threads (16+8).

The P-cores (Golden Cove) will function at a most increase frequency of as much as 5.5 GHz with 1-2 lively cores and 5.2 GHz with all-cores lively whereas the E-cores (Gracemont) will function at 3.90 GHz throughout 1-4 cores and as much as 3.7 GHz when all cores are loaded. The CPU will characteristic 30 MB of L3 cache and TDP values are maintained at 125W (PL1) however it’s unknown if the PL2 ranking stays the identical at 241W (MTP) or goes past 250W. Different specs would come with 30 MB of L3 cache.

The Intel Core i9-12900K has an MSRP of $589 US so we will positively count on the Core i9-12900KS to be priced even greater. Intel might most certainly present this chip throughout CES 2023 together with a spread of different bulletins so keep tuned for the 4th of January.
