Intel Core i9-12900K Desktop Processor 16 (8P+8E) Cores up to 5.2 GHz Unlocked LGA1700 600 Series Chipset 125W

Upgraded from a i9-9900k. Using windows 11 I can absolutely say this system is soooo much slower. I work in Adobe programs. Their responsiveness and general speed is so painful. Im considering going back to my old rig, or going back to window 10. have 64gb RAM + RTX 3090 + 980 NVME 512gb in RAID0. Never has having the latest felt like a significant step back.

For my new build I picked an EVGA Z790 Classified motherboard, since it has an 1700 socket that meant an Intel Cpu, wanted to future proof somewhat so kept choice between I9-12xxx and I9-13xxx gen, I dont need the latest and supposedly the greatest, so flipped a coin and the 12 gen won. Then researched thru

It works well when I’m use for the server I’m using, it’s cores handle the tasks well

Excellent processor, i used to have I7 and it really big difference, much faster and smooth

I love this processor, it can handle anything I throw at it. The only thing I was concerned with, is that I bought it new, but the stickers were peeled off the Intel 12900k box, so I am not sure what was up with that, it looked like it still had the safety seal on it though, but at least it works.

Aside from the nightmare Alder Lake is with ram clocking, this thing does everything you need to. Consistently hits 5.1 - 5.2ghz when needed.

This cpu is killer and can literally handle any game you throw at it on max settings, and the same can be said for most workload programs. However I bought it back in early 2022, when it was still way overpriced for what it is now

Working very good. Thanks

Great performance

It will handle all your multitasking needs with ease, even while gaming.
