Overkill considering the i7 12700k is only marginally worse and costs a lot less, but it ain't about that performance is it ;)
Huge gains in multi-core performance ; Most powerful gaming CPU performance; Very good for streaming games; Future-proofed with PCIe 5.0 and DDR5;
Expensive ; High peak temperature; Only slightly better than i5 for gaming;
For a first build we went a bit top heavy with the processor....sooner spend a little extra now and not really need it than wish we had later on.....flashy case....
has performed as expected and more.... great for gaming and everything else you care to throw at it.
After a long absence, Intel’s 12th-gen Core i9-12900K and its hybrid design puts Intel back on top in desktop CPUs while offering next-generation technology and a big surprise: relatively good value over Ryzen.
Impressive application performance.; “Best” gaming performance.; Better value than AMD.;
DDR5 adds price premium.; Can be a power hog under heavy loads.; Ryzen still faster in some multi-threaded tests.;
