The processor, which optimizes the turbo frequencies of the cores for better performance in games, includes 30MB of smart cache to avoid bottlenecks. The thermal design power is 150W.

Supporting PCIe 4.0 and PCIe 5.0 standards, the processor can go up to DDR5 4800 MT/s and DDR4 3200 MT/s levels. Also suitable for overclocking, the model is compatible with existing Z690 motherboards, but a BIOS update is recommended for best performance. A $739 price tag has been set for the Intel Core i9-12900KS processor.
