The Intel Core i9-12900K is a 12th Generation (Alder Lake) desktop processor with 8 Performance-cores + 8 Efficient-cores (16 total) and 24 threads, a 3.2 GHz base clock that boosts to 5.2 GHz, plus integrated Intel UHD Graphics 770 graphics. Supplied as the retail boxed version (part number BX8071512900K, EAN 5032037234641); note that unlocked K-series boxed processors do not include a cooler. Typically in stock with fast delivery across Cyprus.
Compatibility — read before you buy
This processor uses the Intel LGA1700 socket and needs a compatible motherboard (Intel 600-series such as Z690, B660, H670 or H610, or 700-series boards (Z790, B760) with a BIOS update). It supports DDR5-4800 / DDR4-3200 memory up to 128 GB. The unlocked multiplier allows overclocking on Z-series boards. As an unlocked CPU it ships without a cooler — add a compatible air or liquid cooler.

Frequently Asked Questions
Singular Expert Insight
The i9-12900K was Alder Lake’s flagship, pairing 8 Performance-cores with 8 Efficient-cores for strong gaming and heavy multi-threaded work. It is unlocked for overclocking on Z-series boards and includes UHD 770 graphics. If you always run a discrete GPU, the i9-12900KF saves a little money. To get the most from it, pair it with dual-channel DDR5 memory and a motherboard that matches your performance and upgrade plans.
Buyer's Guide
Buy it if
You want flagship-class 12th Gen performance with 16 cores for gaming, streaming and content creation, and plan to overclock on a Z690/Z790 board.
Skip it if
You are on a tight budget, do not need 8 Efficient-cores, or want the newest platform — a 13th/14th Gen chip may offer more cores for the money.
Also consider
The i9-12900KF (no iGPU, cheaper), the i7-12700K (fewer E-cores, lower cost), or a 13th/14th Gen i9 for higher clocks and more cores.
