Power up your productivity, gaming, and content-creation experiences by installing the Intel Core i9–12900KS 3.4 GHz 16-Core LGA 1700 Processor into your desktop computer system. Built using a Hybrid Core architecture with the Intel 7 process, this 12th generation desktop processor's 16 co­res combine the performance of eight Efficient-cores and eight 3.4 GHz Performance-cores. The low-voltage Efficient-cores handle background tasks for multitasking while the Performance-cores provide speed for demanding applications and games. The built-in Intel Thread Director ensures that the two work seamlessly together by dynamically and intelligently assigning workloads to the right core at the right time to maximize performance.

Additionally, this processor has a 5.3 GHz Turbo Boost Max 3.0 frequency with 30MB of cache for fast and reliable performance. Thermal Velocity Boost technology can temporarily push speeds up to 5.5 GHz when allowable to help accelerate burst workloads. The Core i9–12900KS also includes support for up to PCI Express 5.0 and dual-channel DDR5 memory at 4800 MHz to help run and multitask a variety of demanding applications. You can overclock this processor for even greater performance.
