I bought it used from eBay and because it didn't come visually as I wanted, due to the previous owner putting liquid metal paste, I asked for a partial refund and it cost a total of 230€, with no future claim rights.
Anyway, for used items, eBay gives half a month, maybe in special cases, a month.
The main issue is the temperatures -___-
I got a budget air cooler (185tdp max) and I have to lock the multiplier at 44x for the P-cores to prevent it from hitting 95C (230-240watt) in cinebench, and now it reaches a maximum of 85 (max 180watt).
The second issue is that it consumes a lot of power when rendering applications are required.
For regular applications and games of any category, the processor simply rocks it.
I suspect that the case from the P4 that I managed to fit the rest of the components in is barely holding this system -___-
The ASRock 790 motherboard with thunderbolt and the 32+32 gig 5200 RAM performed better compared to previous purchases from Skroutz for the Ryzen 9 3900X that I had previously bought from eBay for 265€.
It's the first time that the price was almost the same, processor with Kingston RAM and the motherboard.
The best there is from 12th generation processor on the market.
The market was made on 29/12/2021
It raises the temperature higher than it should, for the money it cost when it came out and the temperature problems are not as they should be.
Pure beast. With a good graphics card, editing becomes a game.
(With heavy MXF, AppleProRes MOV, BRAW files, tested in UHD XHQ 12bit)
Monster.
The problem is the memories that in XMP might annoy you, and the high temperatures.
What I suggest to lower the temperature as much as possible is to gently polish the copper contact surface of your cooler/AIO with a suitable tool, and to use high-quality thermal paste to maximize heat transfer.
It is the best that Intel has to offer right now, along with the other two that it has released, the 12900KS and KF, I think. BUT. The DDR5 issue requires practice as XMP does not work, for example, at 5600 if you have bought 5600 memory like I did. Unfortunately, this processor only supports up to 4800 on DDR5, and with a little tweaking in the BIOS, it can handle 5200. As soon as you set it to 5600, it crashes and the PC won't boot. I read somewhere that you have to adjust the voltage, but does that mean you have to overclock? I don't know, I can't answer. It operates normally up to 5200.
Certainly the best CPU that Intel has to offer and one of the best CPUs on the market, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have its issues!

Positives:
► Practically the cream of the crop for gaming CPUs, even the most powerful graphics cards hold it back!
► Very powerful in all types of workloads, making it excellent for flexible usage, which includes heavy multi-threading as well as heavy single-threaded loads.
► Supports the new PCI-E 5.0 standard, so it is ready for future upgrades to NVMe and GPUs that will utilize it.
► Relatively good price for what it offers, especially when compared to previous generations!
► The best power consumption in idle and light loads that we have seen!
Negatives:
► Tremendously high temperatures, it becomes impossible to avoid throttling even with a 420mm liquid cooling in some loads.
► Very high power consumption under heavy loads, but even in gaming, compared to the previous generation or AMD's Zen 2.
► The platform is plagued by teething problems that require a lot of patience and time for troubleshooting.
► Support for DDR5 is particularly troublesome and for smooth operation at high frequencies, above 5600MHz, a lot of time needs to be dedicated, even if we are talking about XMP.
► Even if the CPU's price is good, the platform is excessively expensive, with memory and motherboards costing more than the CPU itself, if we are talking about DDR5. There is the option for DDR4, which lowers the cost, but it still remains high compared to other platforms.
Hello my lithographers, how does the new i9 manage to be at the top compared to all the other processors in single-core tests and with a base clock speed of around 2,500 gigahertz.. wow! I'm disappointed just by writing it! Can you believe that it easily outperforms quad-core and hexa-core processors? It's a bit strange, isn't it? Now, what can I say about my own 4790K at 4.00GHz base clock? Just to show off a bit, since it can reach 5 and... with some rectification, I will seal my system, motherboard, and accessories with thick gelatin and create a dry atmosphere in a vacuum to reach 6GHz, just so that no one can beat me, not even the mighty Intel! So go ahead and buy it without fear, although personally I don't buy processors in this day and age unless they are above 4 gigahertz. UPDATE: In the end, I fell for the i9 10850K, with 10 cores at 3,600GHz and 4,800GHz boost, overclocked to 5.2GHz, since I found it brand new for only 200 bucks! Good luck, my friends!
The most important change in Alder Lake processors is their construction, called Intel 7. Essentially, it is a 10nm lithography but through special design, it achieves the same results, according to Intel, in space saving compared to the 7nm lithography used by other manufacturers. So Intel calls it Intel 7, in an effort to divert attention away from the actual nanometers.
Full review by Hardware Busters here: https://youtu.be/TJ7s34skrC8
The most powerful Alder Lake processors are the i9-12900K and KF. The i7-12700K and KF follow, and then we have the i5-12600K and KF. The difference between the K and KF processors is that the latter do not have an iGPU, meaning an integrated graphics card. The i9 processors have 8P and 8E cores, the i7 has 8+4, and the i5 has 6+4. As for L3 cache, the i9 has 30MB, the i7 has 25MB, and the i5 has 20MB. Finally, Turbo Boost Max 3.0 is only available in the i9 and i7.
The major changes, apart from the new cores, are the new PCIe communication bus and the new type of memory supported by Alder Lake. Fortunately, for those who don't want to dig deep into their pockets, there is support for DDR4. Alder Lake supports up to 128GB DDR5-4800 MHz RAM and has 40-bit communication channels for each pair of DIMM memory, while DDR4 uses a 64-bit channel for each DIMM.
As for PCIe devices, the new Gen 5 standard is supported. Alder Lake has 16 PCIe Gen 5 lanes that go to the graphics card port. They also have four Gen 4 lanes with the NVMe port, which is located near the processor. However, to take advantage of the above, the corresponding chipset is also needed, which we will discuss later.
The new Intel Z690 chipset is the first to support the new generation processors and is the most advanced of the new technology chipsets, as well as the most expensive. It supports DDR5 as well as DDR4, but for now, you won't find motherboards with simultaneous support for both memory types.
After a long time, Intel once again wins the award for top performance with the Alder Lake processors, which are clearly better than the equivalent Zen 3 processors. If the giant Intel is challenged, it has the means and the expertise to respond to the blow, and in the end, that's good for all of us, the consumers. You see, the prices of AMD Zen 3 have finally started to drop and will drop even further until the new generation of processors that will face Alder Lake is released. I hope to soon have the opportunity to test the smallest member of Intel's new series, the i5-12600K, and compare it to the AMD Ryzen 5 5600x.
Pros:
• Good price considering their performance
• Great improvement compared to the previous generation (Rocket Lake)
• Impressive performance in single-thread applications
• Efficient in multi-thread applications
• Unlocked multiplier
• Improved efficiency compared to the previous generation
• Versions with integrated graphics (iGPUs)
• Support for PCIe 5.0 and DDR5
• Improved 10nm lithography
Cons:
• High power consumption under load
• Requires a powerful cooling system
• Requires a new motherboard and cooling system with support for the new socket
• Does not come with a cooling system
• Efficiency in single-thread applications can be improved
Right now, the best processor!!
It runs everything without compromises!!!
