Summary, great performance if you want a high-end CPU. Easy installation as expected with a normal cpu, no surprises. I run everything max graphics settings and it never gets too hot. Great base speed Review: Good - Works well ## Features - 12th Gen Intel Core i9-12900K unlocked desktop processor. - Featuring Intel Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0 and PCIe Gen 5.0 & 4.0 support, DDR5 and DDR4 support. - Unlocked 12th Gen Intel Core desktop processors are optimized for enthusiast gamers and serious creators and help deliver high performance overclocking for an added boost. - Thermal solution NOT included in the box. - Compatible with 600 series chipset based motherboards. - 125W. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B09FXDLX95 | | Best Sellers Rank | 30,977 in Computers & Accessories ( See Top 100 in Computers & Accessories ) 58 in CPUs | | Box Contents | 1 piece | | Brand | Intel | | Brand Name | Intel | | CPU manufacturer | Intel | | CPU model | Core i9-12900K | | CPU socket | LGA 1700 | | CPU speed | 3.2 GHz | | Cache Memory Installed Size | 30 | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 2,379 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00735858499613, 05032037234641, 08010787893735 | | Item Dimensions L x W | 24.6L x 16.5W centimetres | | Item Type Name | CPU | | Item Weight | 82 Grams | | Manufacturer | intel | | Manufacturer Part Number | BX8071512900K | | Model Number | BX8071512900K | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Platform | Windows 11 | | Processor Brand | Intel | | Processor Core Count | 16 | | Processor Count | 16 | | Processor Number of Concurrent Threads | 16 | | Processor Series | Core i9-12900K | | Processor Socket | LGA 1700 | | Processor Speed | 3.2 GHz | | Product Warranty | 1 year manufacturer | | Secondary Cache | 12 MB | | Secondary cache | 12 MB | | Software Update Supported to Date | unknown | | UPC | 735858499613 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | | Wattage | 125 watts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Intel - **CPU manufacturer:** Intel - **CPU model:** Core i9-12900K - **CPU socket:** LGA 1700 - **CPU speed:** 3.2 GHz - **Cache size:** 30 - **Processor Number of Concurrent Threads:** 16 - **Processor count:** 16 - **Secondary cache:** 12 MB - **Wattage:** 125 watts ## Images ![Intel® Core™ i9-12900K Desktop Processor 16 (8P+8E) Cores up to 5.2 GHz Unlocked LGA1700 600 Series Chipset 125W - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51klBAsxGHL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## 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! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Buy it, same as 13th Gen just more CPU usage *by B***A on 16 July 2025* Super good, I'd say better value for money than the 13th Gen version due to being able to achieve the same frames on games, though more CPU usage is used (not significant enough to notice). Summary, great performance if you want a high-end CPU. Easy installation as expected with a normal cpu, no surprises. I run everything max graphics settings and it never gets too hot. Great base speed ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good *by A***N on 9 February 2026* Works well ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 16 cores, and 24 processors, amazing speed for gaming and heavy demanding tasks *by F***S on 15 April 2022* The processor came 2 days after placing the order and it came all, the from the USA, very fast delivery, nothing came broken not even the box that the was insider the processor box, the processor box was well protected as well. I would recommended this processor to any one looking for an upgrade for a decent price, and for its powerfully peformance, and it's specs, it's a massive worth while investment, Windows 11 is just so smooth running this, for gaming and very heavy demanding tasks as an Intel core i7 would fail to do, no more laggy days!! I would also recommend this processor running on Windows 11 to get the most out of it! ## Frequently Bought Together - Intel Core i9-12900K Gaming Desktop Processor with Integrated Graphics and 16 (8P+8E) Cores up to 5.2 GHz Unlocked LGA1700 600 Series Chipset 125W - ARCTIC MX-4 (4 g) - Premium Performance Thermal Paste for All Processors (CPU, GPU - PC), Very high Thermal Conductivity, Long Durability, Safe Application, Non-Conductive - ASUS TUF Gaming Z790-Plus WiFi LGA 1700(Intel 14th,12th &13th Gen) ATX Gaming Motherboard(PCIe 5.0,DDR5,4xM.2 Slots,16+1 DrMOS,WiFi 6,2.5Gb LAN,Front USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C,Thunderbolt 4(USB4),Aura RGB) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.it/products/390389882-intel-core-i9-12900k-desktop-processor-16-8p-8e-cores](https://www.desertcart.it/products/390389882-intel-core-i9-12900k-desktop-processor-16-8p-8e-cores) --- *Product available on Desertcart Italy* *Store origin: IT* *Last updated: 2026-09-29*
