Take your bets on how many watts this thing will use under full load. I'm thinking 400W. An overclocked 12900K at 5.0 uses 407W (according to techpowerup) but Intel's cherry-picked bins can likely tolerate lower voltages while remaining stable.

Not to mention the required cooling.
Makes you wonder, we will ever see a new generation where everyone decides to be OK with no performance gain paired with a 25% drop in required power?

Does it come with a free dry ice cooler?
Reddoguk
Even if they are cherry picked they are still gonna need some good cooling and still have really high power draw overall.

Plot twist : i9-12900KS will have 2 cores.

the answer is "no" for desktops at least.
Ultimately power consumption is one of those things that isn't an issue until it is, ie the effective difference of the impact on a user between a 45w cpu and a ~200w cpu is minimal, whereas going from 200 to 350w+ is a huge difference.
BLEH!
These power draws are getting ridiculous now...

Lol the 12900K at 5.0 does not use 400w. They use total power consumption mind you, not a correct calculated CPU package wattage.
TPU lists 303w usage for E cores disabled at 4.9 all core.
My total CPU package power is 210w~ at 5.2 All core on cinebench. For 4.9 all core(stock frequency) 150w~ is about what it would use.
Secondly, if it's a binned CPU that can run higher core frequency at less voltage which means less power usage

I see noone here have 12900k, because there are some wierd answers here....
I'm using 12900k with Arctic Aio. Cheapest 360 aio.
67c is the hottest core running CB R23. Ambient is 25c. Is this hot?
When gaming Battlefield V and Bf 2042, the cpu is 63c max. Is this hot?
In gaming 12900k is using up to 40% less watt per fps than 5950x. (Der8auer youtube test)
I don't know why people here only play cinebench...
nizzen
I can play Battlefield V and 2042 @ 5.5ghz with a cheap Aio. required cooling isn't very high. Unless you play cinebench 24/7 and play prime95.

Look up the test you are referring to.
As far as my calculator goes, it is 17% at 1080p and 13% at 4k in BF2042.
As far as i can remember, you said that you would run direct die, if you are doing that now, you are not running stock configuration.

I would prefer some binned 12900Ks at 5.0Ghz with better wattage and temps.
nizzen
Direct die on 10900k, not 12900k. Delidtool hasn't shipped yet for 12 series...
Remember better next time 😉
I wrote "In gaming 12900k is using up to 40% " Not every game....
Look at PUBG....

I wrote "If you are doing that now,"
Well I remembered correctly, because you indicated in November that you planed on direct die on 12900k, so I assumed.
I did not know about the delid tool not being shipped yet, there could also have been the possibility that you did it with a home modified tool or other small modification to a already available tool just like he did.
Another reason for me to think you delidded it, was that your allcore temps in November was higher.
Quote from someone else: I've not read that many reviews but temps are hardly mentioned. Is the 12900K toasty or not at stock?
Your reply: Cold in all games I tested, hot in cinebench. 60-62c max with Arctic Aio 360 stock in BF V and BF 2042. 78c hottest core in cinebench
~25c ambient
You and Der8auer are technically correct, but the setup and settings to provoke that number is super unrealistic.
The settings needs to be set so low that it looks like Farcry from 2004 and any form of Vsync needs to be turned off.

SP 99 P-core helps 😉 A few C lower than SP 90

i really don't get why everyone here is complaining about an enthusiast part consuming more power chances are if you're buying this u plan on pushing it to the limits anyways or u actually need this for productivity in which there are better more efficient options.

How so? It seems people are having reading comprehension problems. Most of that power capacity is for sending down-wire to PoE devices like access points and other switches. TP-Link's managed switch that is similar (8x1G + 4xSFP) lists consumption and it's only 15w excluding PoE which is 30w per port max.
She disgusts me. I was hoping she'd sink in that 6 million euro yacht she sailed to NYC in, preferably run over by an oil tanker.. The funny part was her skipper flew back to europe, then flew back so he could sail the boat back across, essentially wiping out all emissions saved by the virtue signaling trip.
When an AMD fanboys favorite company is behind in performance, they always switch focus to price/performance or my favorite, performance/watt. lol. The endless complaining about power/heat has been going on since i got my i7-10700k and even at 5.2 allcore it still doesn't get very hot unless i run cinebench with uncore maxed out. When gaming i never see over 50% usage. Which reminds me, i need to find a damn GPU one of these years.

go and self reflect on your words, you just wished death on someone.

Hahahaha that someone isn't even human with brains, it's a bot at best.

Literally nobody here mentioned Greta Thunberg in this thread or even said that CPU power use was a bad thing for the environment. I expect most are simply concerned about PSU requirements and having to cool the CPU.
Triggered simply by somebody saying "power"? Feeling threatened by a little girl? Nobody on these forums can help with your personal issues I'm afraid. Please keep on topic.
