Intel Core i9-12900KF Unlocked Desktop Processor
12th Generation Alder Lake · FCLGA1700 · Boxed (no cooler)
16-Core 24-ThreadUp to 5.2 GHz30 MB Intel Smart Cache CacheUnlocked
The Intel Core i9-12900KF 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, with no integrated graphics, so a discrete graphics card is required. Supplied as the retail boxed version (part number BX8071512900KF, EAN 5032037234221); 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.

Technical Specifications
Frequently Asked Questions
Singular Expert Insight
The i9-12900KF offers the same flagship 12th Gen performance as the i9-12900K — 8 Performance-cores plus 8 Efficient-cores, unlocked — but removes the integrated graphics to lower the price. It is ideal for high-end gaming builds with a dedicated GPU. Choose the i9-12900K only if you want onboard video. No cooler is included, so high-performance cooling is required. 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 run a discrete graphics card and want flagship 16-core 12th Gen performance with overclocking, at a lower price than the i9-12900K.
Skip it if
You need integrated graphics, lack strong cooling for its 241W turbo power, or want the newer 13th/14th Gen platform with more cores.
Also consider
The i9-12900K (adds UHD 770), the i7-12700KF (fewer cores, cheaper), or the i9-13900KF/14900KF for more cores and higher clocks.
