i9-12900K Specs
The Intel Core i9-12900K will feature eight Golden Cove cores as well as eight Gracemont cores. The Golden Cove cores will feature Hyper-Threading. An unlocked multiplier for overlocking will also be included in the processor, as well as 30MB of L3 cache. The leak is currently showing 5.3GHz dual-core boost and 5GHz all-core boost (on the Golden Cove cores) and 3.9GHz quad-core boost as well as 3.7GHz all-core boost on the Gracemont cores.
Specs for the Core i9-11990K are similar, with eight Cypress Cove cores (and Hyper-Threading as well) as well as 16MB L3 cache. 3.5GHz base clock and 5.3GHz boost clock are also included.
Thoughts
The i9-12900K system that was used for the benchmarks included an ASUS ROG Strix Z690-E motherboard and RTX 3090. 64GB of DDR5-4800 memory was also inside the system. From those specs, I do not see the hardware providing a bottleneck for the CPU. It looks like these numbers will hold true in the production release for most consumers.
