Newegg is the largest retailer in the United States, who has not yet started selling the Intel Core I9-12900KS SKU, the new 16-nuclear desktop processor for the LGA1700 socket. This gave us all the missing information on the characteristics of this flagship processor for Table PCs ALDER LAKE, such as basic clock frequencies. According to listing, the basic clock frequency of effective nuclei is 2.5 GHz, and the acceleration is 4.0 GHz. This means that the KS version of the 12900K processor has more efficient kernels per 100 MHz.

As for productive nuclei, we expect an increase in the base frequency of 200 MHz (3.4 GHz) and increase the frequency in the turbojym by 300 MHz at a frequency of 5.5 GHz (acceleration of thermal velocity). Finally, NeweGG claims that MTP (Maximum Turbo Power / PL2) is 241 W, and not 250 watts, as mentioned earlier.

Early Listing on NeweGg Indicates a very close start date, perhaps even today (we do not have a confirmed launch date). More importantly, the processor costs $ 799, which is 210 dollars more than the original version. This SKU can be a good choice for those who are looking for better performance from the box without having to mess around with the clock.
