Revolutionary Performance and Multitasking

Thanks to its high clock rates and the newly developed architecture, you can enjoy the impressive gaming performance of the Intel Core i9-12900KF undisturbed , while secondary applications run seamlessly in the background. In contrast to the otherwise identical Intel Core i9-12900K, this processor does not have an integrated graphics unit .

Intel's powerful hybrid architecture integrates two core families in a single CPU and ensures that everything in your gaming universe runs smoothly. Eight performance cores (P-cores) are designed to perform in single- and light-thread workloads and promote activities such as gaming and productivity.

Eight efficient cores(E-Cores) are optimized for multithreading performance and minimize interruptions from secondary tasks. The Intel Thread Director prioritizes and manages CPU usage and sends tasks to the best core for the task. Both core types can be overclocked separately from each other.

An All-Round Efficient Ecosystem

Alder Lake's processor architecture supports performance-enhancing innovations such as PCI-Express 5.0 and DDR5 memory . An excellent basis for high-performance components such as NVMe SSDs and graphics cards that benefit from higher bandwidths and faster data exchange. The connectivity is also first class: the support of Thunderbolt 4 and Intel Killer Wi-Fi 6 / 6E (Gig +) ensures fast transmission speeds and connections to peripheral devices.
