Intel Core i7-12700K and Core i9-12900K Pricing Leaks
US computer component and electronics store Micro Center appears to have gotten ahead of things and listed the upcoming Intel Core i7-12700K and Core i9-12900K pricing on its website almost two weeks ahead of the official sale start. This should be MSRP pricing and if it's good or bad is a question of how you look at it, since both chips are significantly more expensive than their 11-series counterparts and much higher than the MSRP for those parts.
Intel's Core i7-11700K launched at US$399 and the new Core i7-12700K will beat that by $70, as it should launch at US$469.99, which seems like a large chunk of money to pay for the extra efficiency cores. The Core i9-11900K launched with a US$539 price point and the Core i9-12900K brings that up by US$130 to US$669.99. These prices are obviously not confirmed as yet, but Micro Center tends to be one of the cheapest places in the US to get CPUs, so we doubt there's any price gouging going on here.

Look at intel broadwell with their L4 cache, it wasn't transferred to the next generation.
Regardless ,I will await reviews before I continue to sit here doing nothing about them.
And remenber shortages, not like AMD cares because nothing to stay in shelfs anyway probably
Who forgot shortages, prebuilts never for a moment lacked GPUS.
There's no shortage of CPUs just some CPUs
AMD on most of the high core counts have been overpriced but amd especially powercolor gpu's are crazy priced and neither moving local micro center has a bunch of both.
But i guess you meant there aren't any shortage of CPU's, but this is a launch, there were lots of shortages of CPU's at launch lately. AMD and Intel (less).
Though, think I'll wait for reviews & analysis before jumping boat.
And not just a 3090 any of the highend cards with 300watt TDP's so 6800XT,6900XT,3080,3080TI,3090 and I believe there is an upcoming 3090TI that may do close to 400watts.
I'm all set psu wise only issue is bestbuy is the only supplier for nv cards every other gpu is silly priced lol

Looks like something out of the 1960s -70s! :)
Anyway getting off topic...
Is this the only year that Intel have/will release 2 different chipsets (Z590+Z690) for high end mainstream desktop systems?
It would be kinda funny though and not totally unsurprising if there are $300+ models with DDR5 support
The bigger issues and the same one Ryzen 5000 and Zen 3D face are terrible gpu pricing though.. unless all you want to do is run cpu benchmarks and watch youtube.
Now the laptop space, that might get real interesting. It is 85% of the client market, and big.LITTLE seems like it is meant for mobile to me. It'll be interesting to see what they can do with it on laptops.
Beside personal preferences of wanting to use it or not, i don't think Win11 will be an issue.
And a 65 Watt Non-K Model has the same gaming performance.
I guess you need a K model these days to belong to the cool club... i personally rather belong to the smart club.
1) A stock i9-12900K achieved 827,7 and 11456,5 points (i.e. on CPU-Z), so this overclock didn't do much besides increasing voltage and consumption.
2)5200 MHz all core for what?
