Review: The processor also runs surprisingly cool, even under heavy load. - I recently got my hands on the Intel Core i9-12900K Desktop Processor, and I have to say, I am blown away by its performance. This processor is an absolute powerhouse, with 16 cores (8P+8E) and speeds of up to 5.2 GHz. It's also unlocked, which means I can push its limits even further if I want to. Installing the processor was easy enough, although I did have to make sure my motherboard was compatible with the LGA1700 socket and 600 series chipset. Once I had everything set up, I fired up my favorite games and applications to see how the processor would perform. The results were nothing short of impressive. The i9-12900K chewed through every task I threw at it with ease, from demanding video editing software to the latest AAA games. I was able to multitask without any lag or slowdowns, and my system felt incredibly responsive and snappy. The processor also runs surprisingly cool, even under heavy load. I did notice a slight increase in power consumption compared to my old processor, but it's a small price to pay for the sheer performance boost. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with the Intel Core i9-12900K Desktop Processor. If you're a power user or a gamer who demands the best performance, this processor is definitely worth considering. It's not cheap, but in my opinion, it's worth every penny for the sheer power and speed it delivers.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Best of for child 3-5 years ?**
A: For a 3-5 year old kid, no because Fortnite and Roblox don't need this much power.
For a teenager with absurdly high standards and wants their computer running hot all the time, then yes it would be future-proof for 3-5 years.

**Q: Does it come with Avx-512 set instructions?**
A: Hello! Thank you for your question.
The Avx-512 is exclusive to the some Xeon processors. This being an i9 processor, does not count with that instruction set.
Thank you for choosing Intel.

**Q: does it come in the original packaging aka what is shown in the pictures?**
A: Exactly as shown in the pictures. Lots of pointless packaging. Personally I'd prefer it was packaged like the NVMe drive, but then packaging does not impress me.

**Q: How long will this cpu be relevant?**
A: Hi there. Thank you for your question. The 12th Gen Intel Core processors are the first based on Intel 7 process technology and the new performance hybrid architecture. They were launched in 2021 with a lot of advanced technologies to enable major performance gains across a wide range of today's PC workloads. Thank you for choosing Intel!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Still A Beast In 2025!!!
*by M***D on September 12, 2025*

After hours of reviews, and an unlimited budget I specifically chose this CPU in 2025 for its performance, and stability... instead of Intel 13th/14th gen CPUs that went all bonkers. I'm going to a country overseas where computer part's stores are scarce, and warranty repair isn't easily doable. I needed to build a high-end fast computer that's reliable before leaving the USA... and after much research, reading reviews, and watching gaming/productivity performance X vs Y videos... I picked this 12th gen i9 CPU which was their flagship top performing CPU not too far back. It has much lower temps than i7/i9 13th & 14th gen Intel CPUs, it can be air-cooled using a top quality air-cooler, it won't overheat & completely burn out & fail like many 13th & 14th gens did, nor will my new 12th gen Intel CPUs have questionable silicone quality issues... and if there're any performance inefficiencies with this 12th gen CPU vs a 14th gen or Ultra series, me & 90%+ of people out there would not even notice... including semi-pro gamers, programmers, and producers. Did I hear someone say, "What about AMD CPUs?" Don't even get me started with their "Cooler temp CPUs" that had compatability issues with some apps & games... and their CPUs actually didn't run that cool when software demanded more from them, and the necessary turbo boost kicked in... haha ;) And if truth be told which has been proven... Windows 11 favors Intel CPUs beginning with Intel's 12th gen CPUs with e-cores. I'm no fan of AMD, but I will admit that was a bit unfair...
