My first CoreI9
I'm not disappointed.
It's easy to install yourself.
Frankly, I recommend it. If you're also running containers, this really is the ideal product for non-gaming use.
With the Alder Lake processors, Intel has launched a small revolution in the world of x86 architecture by adopting a hybrid technology based on two different types of cores assembled within the same chip: Performance-Cores and Efficient-Cores. With more cores and more power, 12th generation Intel processors are ready for next-generation gaming, PCI-Express 5.0 graphics cards and DDR5 RAM.

Intel's new high-performance hybrid architecture integrates two core families into one processor for a smoother gaming experience. Intel Thread Director prioritizes and manages workloads by determining which core is best suited for each task. Performance cores are designed for unique, low-thread count workloads, enhancing activities such as video gaming or productivity tasks. Efficiency cores are optimised for multi-threading by reducing interruptions from secondary tasks.


With high frequencies, achieve high performance in games. Confidently take on your opponents or explore new worlds with a revolutionary processor architecture that focuses on what matters. Intel 12th generation processors are simply designed for the next generation of gaming.

I'm not disappointed.

You're a bunch of losers, or scammers, depending on your point of view.
You indicate that the items are in stock but you only dispatch them 2 to 3 days later.
So you didn't have them in stock.
Impossible to cancel the order before it's dispatched. This too is borderline ....
As a result, the items arrive when they are no longer needed.
Shitty sales technique. You caught me for a sale, that's good, I'll never order from you again.
LDLC to flee.
Perfect for my use (3D reconstruction of X-ray images) and for consulting X-rays.
I often work with RAW photos and this processor is excellent. Fast and efficient. It's also great for video games, but you need to choose a good cooling system.
Very good processor coupled with a 3080, with a slight preference for the Ryzen 9 when it comes to multitasking, but when it comes to gaming I'm sticking with Intel!
very good processor i recommend it you can launch star citizen which is a game that takes resources from the processor and not the graphics card
Works perfectly!
Works with Asus pro art Z790 Creator wifi motherboard, with 64GB DDR5 RGB + be quiet! power supply Straight Power 11 1200W 80PLUS Platinum
Nothing to say
I recommend it, INTEL it works great !!!
Fast, secure delivery, a high-performance processor that doesn't overheat, what more could you ask for?
Delivery: perfect (as usual!)
Disassembled baby, almost all parts still working .... (the motherboard was starting to fail) ... I opted for this configuration which may not be the best of the best, but which suits me perfectly for studio work ... and with a good reorganization of my case I went from a consumption in idle of 230W to a consumption of 83W ... but when you work on Premiere Pro it is really worthwhile to rely on NVMe in PCIe 4.0 Gen4 .... it's a bit more powerful than SSD in SATA 3 ... I'm very happy with the service and the quality of the product.
well advised for cpu/fan/motherboard compatibility! I took this model for c++ development.
In the same universe: i9 12900 | i9-12900k | intel core i9
