Intel: 12th Gen Intel Core Desktop Processor Family Additions and New Platform Options
 

With the introduction of the full 12th Gen Intel Core desktop processor lineup, the 12th Gen Intel Core processor family also represents the company’s most scalable lineup to date, powering designs across consumer, enterprise, the Internet of Things (IoT) and other applications.

Today, 22 new processors join the 12th Gen Intel Core desktop processor family and range from Intel Core i9 to Pentium and Celeron. These processors (65-watt and 35-watt) deliver scalable power and great performance for gaming, creation, and productivity. Intel also introduced new Intel® Laminar Coolers that accompany the new 65-watt processors.

In addition, Intel introduced the new Intel H670, H610 and B660 chipsets that will support broad consumer processors. The new chipset options deliver many of the great Z-series platform capabilities, like PCIe 4.0 lanes, integrated Intel® Wi-Fi 6E (Gig+) and Intel Volume Management Device (VMD) – as well as support for memory and processor overclocking.

Intel Demonstrates Core i9 12900KS Alder Lake CPU With 5.5 GHz Boost Frequency

 

On Twitter intel has been showing an Alder Lake processor with a 5.5 GHz boost frequency.

Although the chipmaker did not release the precise model of the chip, the numbers correspond to the Core i9-speculated 12900KS's characteristics.

While the Core i9-12900K is already one of the best CPUs available, the Core i9-12900KS will undoubtedly outperform it. The former has a maximum boost clock of 5 GHz across all cores, however, this value changes depending on the workload. The Core i9-12900KS launches with a 4% faster boost frequency than the current Alder Lake flagship.

What's intriguing about Intel's tweet is that it implies that the chipmaker hasn't done tuning the chip and that 5.5 GHz is the next target. While it would not be silly to opt for a 5.5 GHz all-core boost frequency, the processor will require considerable cooling, such as the thermoelectric CPU coolers introduced with Rocket Lake. Intel's Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0 enables the Core i9-12900K to reach 5.2 GHz. However, Intel's screenshot indicates that the Core i9-12900K runs at 5.5 GHz with ease. This is about 6% increase.

The Core i9-12900KS will be identical to the Core i9-12900K except for the increased clock speeds and increased power consumption. It will retain a total of 16 cores, eight of which will be Golden Cove cores and eight of which will be Gracemont cores. While the Alder Lake processor will fit into the LGA1700 socket, motherboards will almost certainly need to be updated to accommodate the Core i9-12900KS.

The Core i9-12900KS is expected to launch in the first quarter of this year, although the actual date and price remain unknown.

Yea, they lost me here. They can't be serious.

wouldn't be that surprised with Intel being Intel, but pretty sure "motherboards will need to be updated" = "you need a BIOS update", not "you need a new motherboard"
