Intel announced the Core i9-12900KS pre-binned chip a while ago, but official information about it is still scarce. While we wait for Intel to tell us more about the upcoming CPU, a retailer listing has been spotted, unveiling new details.
Known leaker, @momomo_us, appears to have found a retail listing for the upcoming processor, sharing new details. We already knew the chip would reach 5.5GHz, but the PBP (Processor Base Power) was unknown until now. As it seems, this chip will come rated at 150W. Pricing is estimated at around $750 (£554).

Intel hasn't announced when the Intel Core i9-12900KS will become available. However, considering we're already seeing listings of this processor, it shouldn't take long.
