The Core i9-12900KF does not include integrated graphics, meaning that users will need to purchase a separate dedicated graphics card. Please note that a thermal solution is NOT included. The processor is compatible with Intel LGA 1700 socket motherboards and is backed by a 3-year warranty.

Hybrid Core Design
Background tasks are handled by the processor's Efficient-cores for multitasking while the Performance-cores provide the speed to handle high-end games and demanding applications.
Intel Thread Director
The Intel Thread Director is built into the CPU's cores, working with the operating system to ensure each of the 24 threads are assigned to the right core at the right time.
PCIe 4.0 & 5.0
This processor supports up to four PCIe 4.0 and sixteen PCIe 5.0 lanes, delivering 20 lanes in total for exceptional data throughput with compatible devices.
Intel Deep Learning Boost
Accelerates AI inference to improve performance for deep learning workloads.
Gaussian & Neural Accelerator 3.0
Gaussian and Neural Accelerator 3.0 (GNA) technology helps with noise suppression while enhancing background blurring during video chats.

For my first build, decided to go with this i9 and pair it up with an MSI Z790 mobo. Works flawlessly and for a first-timer, the install was super easy. The shipping was ultra fast. Thank you B&H.

What can I say? It's fast!

If you are looking for a single multi-core processor capable of the demands of programs like Revit look no further. This is capable of handling large projects and barely breaks a sweat. No lag, rapid response.

What more do you need to know. It's fast and hot. I paired it with a 140x420mm AIO liquid cooler.

Got it here fast and it was exactly what I wanted

The 12th gen chop from intel is very fast with 16 cores for optimum performance. The only downside is that this chip runs hot so have a large cooler to offset that.
