Intel Core i9-12900KS Starts Selling on Newegg for $799
Intel started selling its new flagship desktop processor, the special edition Core i9-12900KS, on Newegg for USD $799. Based on the highest bins of the "Alder Lake-S" C0 silicon, the chip has the same configuration as the i9-12900K, with 8 P-cores, 8 E-cores, and 30 MB of L3 cache; but higher clock speeds. The chip offers maximum Turbo Boost frequencies of 5.50 GHz on the P-cores, compared to 5.20 GHz for the regular i9-12900K. The Newegg listing mentions the i9-12900KS to have the same power limits as the i9-12900K, with 125 W processor base power (PBP) and 241 W maximum turbo power (MTP), and not the previously reported 150 W PBP with 260 W MTP.
Update 20:50 UTC: And the listing on Newegg has vanished, which probably has to do with Intel's embargo ending only next week. Sales are supposedly starting not before April.

Everyone is copying the inflated price from newegg, its stupid..
it looks like Intel havent set it, yet.
Okay my bad got my letters mixed up :o Maybe they figured out they didn't charge enough ?
Sorry to be the one to inform you but the same scalpers are on newegg to :laugh:
Anti trust enforcement has completely failed Americans
Wonder how fast it is to the new Ryzen CPUs :D
OK, well how about best buy who locks products behind subscription paywall.....hmmm.
Well there's always microcenter, I mean who doesnt like driving 600 miles to buy computer parts right?
Then again you could always go through your local computer store, assuming you dont live in america or west europe where they only gouge you 390%. That's a viable alternative, right? Anti-Trust laws cant do much if people just stop building new alternatives. Anybody could build an alternative to newegg, amazon started off as a book seller after all. Its just....nobody wants to do it anymore. When is the last time you heard of a new PC part website opening up?
GRanted you see this in every industry today. The days of fred meijer, the dodge brothers, and sam walton ended 70 years ago, now its the era of the onlyfans camgirl and the minecraft streamer.
Just more milking
