A new Intel Core i9-12900K benchmark has appeared on the Geekbench website.

According to the data listed on the benchmark, the processor-featuring 8 Performance cores and 8 Efficient Cores was tested on Windows 11 Pro system. So, that hardware and software could fully utilize Intel’s new Thread Director technology. What’s more, the model used in the test is a flagship variant equipped with a total of 16 cores and 24 threads.

Moreover, the architecture is designed to take full benefit of the latest DDR5 memory. However, Intel will roll out the CPU with support for DDR4 memory. That said, the model used in the test was equipped with the DDR5 memory with 4800 MT/s as the timing since it appears to match JEDEC specs.
