US retailer is listing Core i9-12900K for 605 USD

We've seen a couple of price leaks already but Provantage now is listing Alder Lake CPUs in either a tray or a boxed configuration (possibly with the new reference coolers). 



The fact that tray CPUs are often more expensive than boxed copies is unusual, although it does happen occasionally. However, it appears that both varieties are priced identically. Core i9-12900K with eight Performance and eight efficient Cores appears to cost 605 USD, while the KF sub-variant with no integrated graphics appears to cost 578 USD, according to the information available. Standard box/tray pricing for the Core i7 SKUs 12700K and 12700KF would be 421 USD and 394 USD, respectively. Finally, the Core i5-12600 K and KF models will be available for purchase for 287 and 262 USD, respectively.

The retailer lists the incorrect core count in the product title and description, but the correct thread count in the product description. In contrast to the previously leaked pricing, this price is actually a bit lower. A 5-12% price rise would occur if Provantage's pricing is closer to MSRP than Rocket Lake-S prices.
