What is interesting is that the listings for each model has clock speeds that do not coincide with previous speculations of base clocks that were originally mentioned. For instance, the i9-12900K clock speed is listed at 3.2 GHz, the i7-12700K at 3.6 GHz, and the i6-12600K at 3.7 GHz. Originally, the clock speeds were much higher, from 5 GHz and above for all models.
Originally, we reported that the Intel Core i9-12900K “will feature 8 Golden Cove cores and 8 Gracemont cores for a total of 16 cores (8+8) and 24 threads (16+8). The P-cores (Golden Cove) will operate at a maximum boost frequency of up to 5.3 GHz with 1-2 active cores and 5.0 GHz with all-cores active while the E-cores (Gracemont) will operate at 3.90 GHz across 1-4 cores and up to 3.7 GHz when all cores are loaded. The CPU will feature 30 MB of L3 cache and TDP values are maintained at 125W (PL1) and 228W (PL2).”
