Intel launches Core i9-12900KS as the top-end offering from its 12th gen CPU lineup and calls it the world’s fastest desktop processor. It is armed with 16 cores (8+8), 24 threads, up to 5.5 GHz max clock speed. It is also power-hungry with up to 150W Processor Base Power (PBP). So, Intel is aiming to take on the likes of AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D in raw performance by chugging more power. The Intel chip is also unlocked and capable of hitting 241W Maximum Turbo Power (MTP). Intel Core i9-12900KS Specs and Features As already mentioned, Core i9-12900KS comes from the Intel Alder Lake 12th gen processor series. It is equipped with 16 cores (8 performance cores plus 8 efficiency cores), 24 threads, and can clock a max turbo speed of up to 5.5GHz. This is 300MHz over the max frequency of Core i9-12900K. Intel achieves this level of speed thanks to i9-12900KS’ 150W PBP. This is again higher than the 125W PBP of the Core i9-12900K. That said, the maximum power ceiling is still 241W MTP. T...
