Press Kits: Intel Innovation | 12th Gen Intel Core
Processors
“The performance hybrid architecture of 12th Gen Intel Core
processors is an architectural shift made possible by close
co-engineering of software and hardware that will deliver new
levels of leadership performance for generations,” said Gregory
Bryant, executive vice president and general manager of the Client
Computing Group at Intel. “This begins with the arrival of our
flagship Core i9-12900K – the world’s best gaming processor – and
you will see even more incredible experiences as we ship the rest
of the 12th Gen family and beyond.”
Game, Create and Overclock with Unlocked 12th Gen Desktop
Processors
The six unlocked desktop processors launched today are the first
based on Intel’s performance hybrid architecture featuring a
combination of Performance-cores (P-cores), the highest performing
CPU core Intel has built, and Efficient-cores (E-cores), designed
for scalable multi-threaded workload performance.
Intel® Thread Director enables the two new core
microarchitectures to work seamlessly together by guiding the
operating system (OS) to place the right thread on the right core
at the right time. Intel has worked with the ecosystem on extensive
testing to optimize performance and compatibility, and as part of
the company’s reinforced investments in the developer community,
has published white papers for developers with guidance on how
independent software vendors can optimize applications for
performance hybrid platforms.
“We’re at the beginning of a new era for the PC led by the
introduction of Windows 11,” said Panos Panay, executive vice
president and chief product officer at Microsoft. “With Windows 11
and Intel’s new Thread Director technology, users will see their PC
performance reach new heights on the new 12th Gen Intel Core family
of processors.”
The combination of Intel’s new performance hybrid architecture
and new Intel 7 process technology delivers improved
single-threaded and multi-threaded performance to enable:
- The World’s Best Gaming Processor: Available with up to
16 cores and 24 threads, the new 12th Gen Intel Core processor
family includes the world’s best gaming processor, the Core
i9-12900K, unleashing gaming experiences across top titles. The
Core i9-12900K provides amazing gen-over-gen performance increases,
including up to 25% more FPS on Troy: A Total War Saga, up to 28%
more FPS on Hitman 3, and up to 23% more FPS on Far Cry 63.
Enhanced by Intel® Killer™ Wi-Fi 6E for up to 75% less latency
while gaming when multitasking4, high-frequency P-cores paired with
E-cores for offloading parallel tasks enable up to 84% more frames
per second for simultaneous gaming, streaming, and recording5.
- A Leap in Content Creation Performance: Advancements in
multi-threaded performance, the responsive performance of the
P-cores and the ability to move data at incredible speeds with DDR5
enable leadership across all types of content creation experiences,
including:
- Up to 36% faster photo editing performance6
- Up to 32% faster video editing performance7
- Up to 37% faster 3D modeling performance8
- Up to 100% faster multi-frame rendering9
- The Best Overclocking Experience10: The new processors
offer industry-leading overclocking tools for the ultimate
performance customization, including the ability to overclock
Efficient-cores and DDR5 memory. Enthusiasts and gamers can try
these new platform overclocking features as part of the latest
Intel® Extreme Tuning Utility (XTU) 7.5. Starting with the Core
i9-12900K, XTU will also support one-click overclocking with Intel
Speed Optimizer for unlocked 12th Gen processors. Further, Intel
introduced the latest Intel® Extreme Memory Profile (XMP) 3.0 with
support for DDR5, offering additional profiles, including new
rewriteable custom profiles and flexible tuning for memory
overclocking.
Enabling Desktop Platforms with Industry-Leading
Features
12th Gen Intel Core desktop processors empower people with the
performance and industry-leading features for exceptional
experiences across gaming, content, and play for today and
tomorrow.
Key platform advancements include:
- The first processors in the industry to offer DDR5 memory for
up to 4800MT/s.
- The first processors in the industry to offer PCIe 5.0 (up to
16 lanes), which offers up to 2X I/O throughput over PCIe 4.0, with
up to an additional four lanes of PCIe 4.0 support.
- Up to 30MB Intel® Smart Cache (L3) and 14MB L2 cache for
increased memory capacity with reduced latency.
- Integrated high-speed wireless with Intel Killer Wi-Fi 6E,
which combines industry-leading Wi-Fi 6E connectivity with powerful
gaming network technology to minimize lag, latency, and packet
loss10.
- Discrete Thunderbolt 4 universal cable connectivity for
external device expansion.
All-New Intel 600 Series Chipset
Alongside the 12th Gen Intel Core desktop processors, Intel is
launching the new Intel® 600 Series Chipset with advanced
features for increased reliability and performance. New PCIe Gen
4.0 lanes make for 28 total lanes off the chipset, integrated USB
3.2 Gen 2x2 provides up to double the bandwidth, DMI Gen 4.0
increases the chipset to CPU throughput for fast access to
peripheral devices and networking.
For the first time, Intel is bringing Intel® Volume Management
Device (VMD) to PC chipsets to simplify storage control by allowing
direct control and management of NVMe-based SSDs from the PCIe bus
without additional RAID controllers or other hardware adaptors.
Availability
Unlocked 12th Gen Intel Core desktop processors are available
now for pre-order from participating OEMs, channel partners, and
retailers. Broad availability will start Nov. 4 with more than 140
customers in more than 30 countries expected to add the new
processors to their lineups by the end of the year. Pricing starts
at $264 to $589 for the unlocked desktop processors.
Intel expects to ship hundreds of thousands of 12th Gen Intel
Core desktop “K” processors by end of year and more than 2 million
by the end of March 2022. To enable the expanded offerings for
desktop, mobile and commercial segments expected in early 2022,
Intel is also shipping 28 of the processor SKUs in the 12th Gen
Intel Core processor family to OEM partners.
