Intel Core i9-12900F
The Intel Core i9-12900F is a desktop processor released in 2022, featuring 16 cores (8 P-cores and 8 E-cores) and 24 threads, with no integrated graphics.
The Intel Core i9-12900F is a desktop processor based on the Alder Lake microarchitecture, released in January 2022. It has 16 cores: 8 performance cores (P-cores) and 8 efficiency cores (E-cores), supporting 24 threads. The base clock is 2.4 GHz, with a maximum turbo frequency of 5.1 GHz. It includes 14 MB of L2 cache and 30 MB of L3 cache, manufactured on a 7 nm process. The processor has a base power (TDP) of 65 W and a maximum turbo power of 202 W. It uses the FCLGA1700 socket and supports up to DDR5-4800 or DDR4-3200 memory across two channels. It provides 20 PCIe lanes, supporting PCIe 5.0 and 4.0. The F suffix indicates no integrated graphics, requiring a discrete GPU. It supports instruction sets including SSE4.1, SSE4.2, and AVX2, but the multiplier is locked. The launch MSRP was $464.
