Final Intel 12th Gen Core CPU Spec and Pricing Leak Hours Before Official Reveal

[ThrashZone]

Hi,
Local micro center finally lists 12 series chips
Shows them as 16 core 649.99 with an already 20.us discount.
Looks like they might have reserve on it to instead of instore only.

It's not a review, they got it the same way Geekbench does, someone ran their benchmark and uploaded it to their database. This happens on every chip every time a new one comes out.

makes more sense being a typical PR leak.

$265 US dollars for the KF. Not bad tbh.

There are still procks in UK, they have well-calculated prices, but the prices of motherboards are a mistake. The worst trash cans cost close to £200, anything worth putting in a computer is £230-250, which is half the price of the Z590 and more than twice the price of comparable AM4 boards.

Add to this the high prices of DDR5 memory, when someone does not want to buzz a set based on DDR4.

So what will we gain? Higher performance in games (it is not known how much higher, because Intel used a few clever tricks to emphasize the differences from Ryzen), unknown performance in programs (tests compared to Intel's 11th generation, and AMD slides not shown), mega high energy consumption , ultra high prices for motherboards and DDR5 memory.

In terms of price / performance and capabilities (motherboard equipment), Alder Lake performs poorly and AMD Ryzen 6000 (Zen3 +) will easily return to the first place in most or even all of the above categories.

You can get an 11900K for that price now, just as Rocket Lake is about to be replaced, yes.

11900K's official MSRP/list price is $609 compared to the $539 x1000 price on Intel ARK - so 13% higher which is within the 10-20% I stated earler.
Camelcamelcamel or other price-history trackers will prove to you that it did initially sell for the MSRP, with pricing brought into line rapidly by market supply/demand within a few months.

Alder Lake will eventually sell for whatever the market will bear. I'm not going to try and predict the future as I have no more information than you do. If GPUs have told us anything recently, it's that MSRP's are kind of pointless when there's more supply than demand, and whether Alder Lake is desirable enough to whip up high demand depends on the cost of the whole ecosystem (CPU, board, RAM, and cooler if it's a hungry beast - and of course independent reviews).

11900k was $549 day 1 in some stores. https://pangoly.com/en/price-history/intel-core-i9-11900k. Bestbuy offered it for that price from when it launched. Newegg took 2.5 months to drop to $550, but that's just them trying to get as much money as possible from early adopters.

Yes, there are store that charge early adopters tax but no store will offer a product at launch below MSRP.

Same story for the 11700k: https://pangoly.com/en/price-history/intel-core-i7-11700k

RCP of $399.00 - $409.00. The first couple of days it was $420 and then $405. As long as there isn't a stock problem, like with the 11400 or 11900k in certain regions, RCP is the price you'll find it in stores.

Crazy 12600k destroys the 5600x & 5800x.. intel slaped to AMD segments with this cpu lol

those amd chips came out a year ago. why not compare this to upcoming amd cpu's? i'll wait for real world tests instead of fabricated synthetics. i mean, would you paint a negative light on your own product? its just easier to trick your fanbase into believing it. apple has been doing it for generations.

New Intel cpu's are always compared to the current AMD generation cpu's and vice versa. When the new AMD line of cpu's are released they will be compared to the current Intel lineup.

Not very impressive from Intel. AMD will just refresh Ryzen 5000 and blow these power hungry monsters out the water, hopefully they just adjust prices to be more in line with previous generations.
