Intel Core i9-12900K, i7-12700K and i5-12600K Alder Lake-S Desktop Proc Specs leak
Late this year Intel will reveal its BIG-little-based processor, energy-friendly cores, and power full ones. The Desktop processors are developed under the codename Alder Lake-S.
The new Hybrid CPU fits into an LGA1700 socket and is tied to the 600-series chipset. The 10-nm "Alder Lake-S" silicone has up to eight "Golden Cove" performance core cores (P-cores), and up to eight "Gracemont" efficiency cores (E-cores). LITTLE. Specs now have surfaced on online Chinese media and social channels.
The flagship will (not surprisingly) be called Core i9-12900K in the 12th Gen Core lineup series, and will succeed the i9-11900K with the maximum configuration of 8+8 (P+E), unlocked multipliers, the highest cache, and the fastest clock speed. The P (performance) core ("Golden Cove" core) is clocked at 5.30 GHz and the all-core core is clocked at 5.00 GHz / 8 cores. Its gracemont core (energy efficient) is clocked at 3.90 GHz (1 to 4 cores boost) with the all-core boot of 3.70 GHz / 8 cores. The silicon's total L3 cache is 30 MB. The TDP is 125 W for the i9-12900K (PL1) and 228 W PL2 for this product. Intel is introducing numerous new overclocking capabilities, including memory gear ratios.
The 12th gen core i7 is configured as 8+4 core (P+E), has somewhat lower clock rates than the i9 core, and some boost functions may be missing. The Core i7-12700K is the highest geared Core i7. The highest P-core boost frequency is 5.00 GHz and the all-core booster is 4.70 GHz, while the top boost for E-cores is 3.80 GHz with an all-core of 3.60. The chip contains 25 MB of L3 and is similar to the i9-12900K for PL1 and PL2 values.
Up to 6+4 core (P+E) cores are supplied for the Core i5 series. The unlocked Core i5-12600K operates the P-cores to 4.90 GHz with an all Core of up to 4.50 GHz, while the E-cores are up to 3.60 GHz with an entire Core of up to 3.40 GHz. 20 MB of L3 cache, and the same 125 W PL1 and 228 W PL2 values as the other two unlocked parts.

We're back at eight Cypress Cove cores, this we test a cheaper priced model, the Core i7 11700KF. Suffixes; K means it is unlocked, that F means better value as you can shave off a few bucks, this pr...
Intel releases 35W Intel Core i9-11900T and Core i7-11700T Rocket lake procs (with 115W PL2) - 04/27/2021 09:50 AM
Next to K (unlocked) and F (disabled iGPU) models, Intel also has the T series (low energy) processors. And for the Rocket generation that means low power (well somewhat) 35W TDP rated processors....

Much too early for me to upgrade, but I won't deny watching this upcoming generation with much excitement.

Uhhh 230 Watts... Meaning for all the overclockers this will be hell to keep it cool, like every cooling solution but real custom water cooling will have trouble handling this properly unless one doesn't mind 80-90C.
I wonder how this will go vs ZEN 4, rumors say that ZEN 4 is at least what ZEN 3 was to ZEN 2, so 20% better IPC.

Great, now you'll need to overclock the normal cores and garbage cores separately. Intel obviously want to streamline their mobile and desktop processors so they're forcing their trash onto desktop users where it's far from ideal.
Good thing I'll never buy from Intel again so long as any reasonable alternative exists, and it's looking like AMD will stay competitive for a while to come.

Defo not buying that, they greatly need to sort that daft high power usage, for now i'll keep my 8700k till they make something worth while to upgrade to since i will need a new motherboard and prob ddr5 ram when the time comes
