Build World’s Best Gaming PC With 12th Gen Intel® Core™ Processors

The latest 12th gen Intel® Core^TM desktop CPUs are here. These desktop CPUs from Intel offer never-seen-before features and a leap in performance. Intel® introduced a dual CPU architecture for the first time with a combination of P-cores and E-cores which offers both energy efficiency and performance on both single-thread and multi-threaded tasks. When compared to 11th Gen CPUs, the latest 12th Gen Intel® Core^TM desktop processors offer a 19 percent improvement in performance.

The Intel® Core^TM i9-12900K is currently one of the most powerful mainstream desktop processors that one can buy. This top-tier CPU has 16 cores with 8 P or Performance cores and 8 E or Efficient cores. The Intel® Core^TMCore i9-12900K CPU delivers top-notch gaming performance and is also capable of handling professional workloads such as video editing, 3D modeling, streaming, and more.

If we look at the real-world gaming performance of the Intel® Core^TM i9-12900K, the CPU offers 25 percent more FPS on the latest AAA titles like Troy: A Total War Saga, 28 percent more FPS on Hitman 3, and 23 percent more FPS on Far Cry 6 when compared to the previous generation processor.

The 12th Gen Intel® Core^TM CPUs are built on Intel 7 process architecture, which is the latest manufacturing process from Intel. Hence, the 12th Gen Intel® Core^TM CPUs offer more performance per watt when compared to their predecessors and competitors.

Can't buy a GPU due to a silicon shortage? Intel has got you covered. Most 12th Gen Intel® Core^TM CPUs are available with an integrated graphics card. The Intel UHD Graphics 770 is capable of handling normal day-to-day tasks without any issue and you can use the PC without needing a dedicated/external graphics card.

Power Of Hybrid CPU Cluster

The Intel® Core^TM i9-12900K offers 16 cores with 8 P-cores and 8 E-cores with support for overclocking. The P-cores also use hyperthreading technology, which takes the total number of threads to 24, helping to deliver some stellar performance on multi-thread dependent tasks like video editing and 3D rendering.

The 12th Gen Intel® Core^TM CPUs also use Intel Thread Director Technology, where, the CPU will smartly work with the operating system to assign the right CPU core to complete a specific task in an efficient way. 12th Gen Intel® Core^TM CPUs are also the first set of desktop CPUs to offer hybrid CPU design, which helps to deliver great multi-core performance when needed.

While most games use a single CPU thread, 12th Gen Intel® Core^TM CPUs deliver the same using a P-core, which can reach up to 5.2GHz and can also be overclocked to get more performance from a single core/thread. The hybrid CPU architecture also allows users to game and stream at the same time. In this case, the powerful P-core will be used for gaming, while the efficient E-cores will take care of the streaming aspect.

When it comes to tasks like video editing or 3D rendering the Intel® Core^TM i9-12900K CPU will put all 16 cores or 24 threads to the work to complete the rendering in a jiffy.
Both the P-cores and E-cores on the 12th Gen Intel® Core^TM CPUs are overclockable. When paired with the right cooler, you can get more performance out of these CPUs. One can overclock a 12th Gen Intel® Core^TM CPU with just a click of a button using the Intel Performance Maximizer software. This means anyone with just basic PC knowledge can overclock a 12th Gen Intel® Core^TM CPU.

12th Gen Intel® Core^TM CPUs are also designed to work great with the latest Windows 11 OS. One gets to enjoy all the new features on Windows 11 without compromising on power efficiency or performance. Hence, with the 12th Gen Intel® Core^TM CPU one can enjoy the latest technology from day one.

Supports PCIe Gen 5

The 12th Gen Intel® Core^TM CPUs are also the first set of consumer processors to natively support PCIe Gen 5. With PCIe Gen 5 technology, you get more memory bandwidth, which allows you to use much faster storage devices and graphics cards, as the 12th Gen Intel® Core^TM CPUs support up to 16-lanes of PCIe Gen 5.

The 12th Gen Intel® Core^TM CPUs also support previous generation PCIe technologies, which ensures that you can use most of your already existing PCIe accessories without any issue. This is a huge advantage of 12th Gen Intel® Core^TMCPUs, as the support for PCIe Gen 5 makes the 12th Gen Intel® Core^TM CPUs a truly next-generation product, with support for easy hardware upgrades in the future.

Choose Your RAM

With the 12th Gen Intel® Core^TM CPU, you also get the advantage of choosing your own RAM, as it supports both DDR4 and DDR5 technology. If you already have a high-performance DDR4 RAM kit, then you can continue to use the same with the 12th Gen Intel® Core^TM CPUs. Later, you can always upgrade the RAM to get that extra punch in the performance.

Supporting technologies from two generations is an important choice that Intel® has done, which gives more power to the user while building their custom PC. However, do note that you also need to upgrade your motherboard, as they are not cross-compatible.

Plenty Of Options To Choose From

With the 12th Gen Intel® Core^TM CPU, you get a lot of options. Depending on the budget and the amount of performance one needs, they can go with the Intel® Core^TM i5, Intel® Core^TM i7, or even the Intel® Core^TM i9 processor. Not just that, these SKUs are also available with/without an integrated graphics card, which further brings down the price of the build.

No matter which CPU you choose, you get all the benefits of the 12th Gen Intel® Core^TM series. In fact, most of the compatible Z690 motherboards also come with the latest Bluetooth technology along with Wi-Fi 6E support, offering fast wireless connectivity for seamless gaming and content creation. This allows users to download movies and games in no time with low latency. On top of that, they also support Thunderbolt 4 technology, which enables connecting high-resolution, high-refresh-rate monitors.

With the 12th Gen Intel® Core^TM series of CPUs, Intel has delivered more than a generational upgrade. Not just that, these CPUs are also packed with features and are future-proof. If you are planning on building a PC for gaming, content creation, or even for casual use, the 12th Gen Intel® Core^TM is the processor that we recommend over the competition.
