Intel's 12th generation Intel Core is finally being released, and expectations are high that it will provide next-level performance for gamers and professional creators.

Intel unveiled the 12th generation Intel Core™ product line at the Intel Innovation event on the 29th.

At this unveiling, Intel launched six 12th Gen Intel Core desktop processors, including the Intel® Core™ i9-12900K.

Pre-orders will begin on October 28th, and sales will begin on November 4th.

A new high-performance hybrid architecture improves multi-threaded performance, delivering content creation up to twice as fast as the previous generation.

The newly launched processors lead the industry with DDR5 memory and PCIe 5.0 transition, enhancing gaming and creator experiences.

The 12th generation Intel Core processor family is the first to be manufactured using the Intel 7 process. It is the second product line and provides excellent performance in all computing sectors.

Featuring up to 5.2GHz turbo performance and up to 16 cores and 24 threads, these new desktop processors elevate multi-threaded performance for gamers and professional creators.

The 12th Gen Intel Core family includes 60 processors in total and will support more than 500 products from a wide range of partners.

As detailed at Intel Architecture Day 2021, the new performance hybrid architecture, manufactured for the first time on Intel's 7 process, delivers scalable performance from 9 watts to 125 watts, powering every PC segment from ultra-thin and light laptops to high-performance desktops.

“The high-performance hybrid architecture of 12th Gen Intel Core processors is an architectural transformation made possible by close co-engineering of software and hardware that will deliver new levels of performance leadership for generations,” said Gregory Bryant, Intel senior vice president and general manager of the Client Computing Group. “This journey begins with the launch of the world’s best gaming processor, the Intel Core i9-12900K, and we look forward to even more amazing experiences with our 12th Gen family and beyond.”

Intel Korea introduced the technical features of the newly released 12th generation Core processor at a press conference held on October 29th to announce the launch of the 12th generation Core processor.

Executive Director Lee Ju-seok, who gave the presentation, said, “The Korean market has a large market of users who enjoy gaming on high-spec PCs and individual creators who edit high-quality videos and photos, and there is high interest and demand for high-performance desktop processors. “The 12th generation Core processor released this time is a product that can fully meet their expectations,” he said. “Intel has been working closely for a long time to ensure that many game developers and users can experience the optimal gaming performance on Intel-based PCs, and we will continue our technological cooperation in the future so that you can experience a new level of performance.”

Meanwhile, the six unlocked desktop processors released this time are the first processors based on Intel's high-performance hybrid architecture, which combines the highest-performance Performance-cores among the CPU cores Intel has built with Efficient-cores designed for scalable multi-threaded workloads.

The new 12th Gen Intel Core processor family, available with up to 16 cores and 24 threads, includes the Intel Core i9-12900K, aimed at being the world's best gaming processor.

The Intel Core i9-12900K delivers up to 25% faster frames per second in Troy: A Total War Saga, up to 28% faster frames per second in Hitman 3, and up to 23% faster frames per second in Far Cry 6 compared to the previous generation.

Multitask and game with up to 75% lower latency with Intel® Killer™ Wi-Fi 6E, and use the high-clock speeds of Performance Cores and Efficiency Cores together to run parallel tasks for up to 84% more frames per second when gaming, streaming, and recording simultaneously.

It also supports all types of content creation experiences with improved multi-threaded performance and responsive performance of performance cores, and the ability to move data at incredible speeds through DDR5.

Along with this, a new processIt offers industry-leading overclocking tools for ultimate performance customization, including the ability to overclock Efficient Cores and DDR5 memory. Gamers and enthusiasts can access these new platform overclocking features via the latest Intel Extreme Tuning Utility (XTU) 7.5.

Intel's 12th-generation desktop processors range in price from $264 to $589.
