Description:
Newly leaked retail listings reveal that the upcoming Intel i9-12900KS will have improved base power and clock speed but cost more.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

A recently leaked retail listing has detailed more information about the upcoming Intel Core i9-12900KS, the upcoming special edition version of the Alder Lake flagship.

This comes from two undisclosed listings found by Twitter user @momomo_us , which can be found by searching for the product code: BX8071512900KS. Its not clear which retailer these listings have been taken from, but @momomo_us has
a pretty solid track record when it comes to CPU leaks. Still, take this with a heaping spoon of salt. pic.twitter.com/pIR7aVG6xI February 14, 2022 See

According to the listings, the Intel Core i9-12900KS will have a base power
of 150W which is 25W higher than the base model. The CPU will also have a Max Turbo of 5.5 GHz.

As for pricing, its listed between $780 (about 577 / AU$1,095) and $792
(about 586 / AU$1,112), which is much higher than the official MSRP. This is likely a placeholder price, as Intel has probably not released any pricing information to retailers - if the listings are even real to begin with, that is.

The Intel Core i9-12900KS was originally revealed at CES 2022, but theres
been no additional information since. Given that the Intel Core i9-12900K,
the base version of this processor, is much faster than the Ryzen 9 5900X,
its not a huge surprise that Intel would want to release a special edition version of it to celebrate its success.

After all, Team Blue did the same thing with the Intel Core i9-9900KS back in 2019.
