Boost your productivity, gaming, and content creation by integrating the Intel Core i9-12900KS 3.4 GHz 16-Core LGA 1700 processor into your desktop computer system. The 16 cores of this 12th generation desktop processor are based on a hybrid core architecture using the Intel 7 process, combining the power of eight Efficient-Cores and eight 3.4 GHz Performance-Cores. The low-voltage Efficient-Cores handle background tasks for multitasking, while the Performance-Cores deliver speed for demanding applications and games. The integrated Intel Thread Director ensures that both work seamlessly together by dynamically and intelligently assigning workloads to the right core at the right time to maximize performance.
