Intel Core i9-12900K: Elder Lake CPUs sold out ahead of release

Elder Lake: new Intel processors should appear in mid-November


While Intel isn’t expected to introduce the twelfth-generation flagship processor until next week, some retailers have already offered the chip ahead of the official release date. A user has now succeeded in using Intel Core i9-12900K to buy in advance.

The buyer is a Reddit user”SEBI 9123He managed to purchase two Core i9-12900K models for $610 each. However, he did not specify from which retailer he purchased the two processors. The stores probably contracted not to ship the chips to Intel ahead of time. Guaranteed, so that if he had mentioned the name of the provider, he would have to pay a fine.

CPU cannot be used yet

Even if some users have already got the new flagship processors, there is no way to use the chips. A Z690 mainboard is required to be able to use the CPU. The products will also be sold later. In addition, the mainboard is likely to be quite expensive initially, as dealers will probably offer mainly high-quality models in the beginning. Since Seby9123 cannot currently install the processor in the computer, it has not shared any benchmark results or technical data on the chip.

Intel Core i9-12900K will be presented on October 27 and along with two other chips. From Wednesday it will be possible to pre-order the processors. Its delivery is going to start from November 4. According to previous leaks, the Core i9-12900K has eight Golwen Cove-type cores and eight Gracemont cores. The Alder Lake CPU has 30 MiByte L3 cache and base clocks of 3.6 or 2.7 GHz and turbo clocks of 5.3 or 3.9 GHz.
