The Intel Core i9-12900K has made another appearance this time on the PugetBenchmark website paired with an ASUS ROG Strix Z690-E Gaming WiFi motherboard. The Core i9-12900K is the flagship processor in Intel's upcoming 12th Generation Core Series featuring a hybrid core design with 8 high-performance cores, 8 high-efficiency cores, and 24 threads. The processor was paired with 64 GB of DDR5 4800 MHz memory and an RTX 3090 where it scored similarly to the Core i9-11900K in the GPU-focused Adobe After Effects test. While this test has limited use in determining the processor's performance it may signify the start of more leaks to come. The score pages have now been removed from the PugetBench site however they can still be accessed from the Internet Archive. The Intel Core i9-12900K along with the entire 12th Generation Core Series is now expected to launch in November with DDR5 and PCIe 5.0 support on the new LGA1700 socket and Z690 chipset.
