Intel's been producing some amazing chips for the past couple of years, really raising the bar, delivering products that are reliable, versatile, and extremely powerful. Intel's 12th Gen Core i9-12900KS processor features 16 cores, with the total being split between eight performance cores (P-core) and eight efficiency cores (E-core). When it comes to boost performance, you're looking at 5.2Ghz, and you'll get 30MB of Smart Cache, 14MB of L2 cache, and support for lightning fast DDR5 memory.
