\nIntel has just unveiled their latest lineup of 12 th Gen Intel Core desktop processors \u2013 the family comes with six unlocked chips suited for gaming and content creation work. Here\u2019s a complete list of the new CPUs: As usual, the K moniker means that these CPUs are unlocked, and the F means the chip comes with integrated graphics; UHD Graphics 770 to be exact. Intel built these processors on the company\u2019s Alder Lake 10nm architecture that switches to a hybrid core design \u2013 each CPU use a mix of Performance cores (P-cores) and Efficient-cores (E-cores). This is similar to the way smartphone chipsets are made \u2013 the E-cores are there to provide just enough performance for everyday work; this saves power, while the P-cores perform all the heavy-duty tasks. Because of the split in core types, Intel has specified the clock speeds of each type \u2013 you can see the specs in the picture below. These new CPUs will work with the new Z690 chipset and LGA1700 socket. Over 60 motherboard models are expected to arrive soon. There\u2019s support the latest and greatest DDR5 memory with up to 4,800MT\/s. There is still support for DDR4 RAM but you won\u2019t be able to use both memory types at the same time. According Intel, all this translates to over 20% increase in performance in games such as Far Cry 6. Hitman 3, and Troy: A Total War Saga, when comparing the i9-12900K with the older i9-11900K. Intel\u2019s new CPUs start at the price of $264 (RM1,097), and can go all the way up to $589 (about RM2,447). They will go on sale this November 4 alongside the new Z690 motherboards.
