Two sources this week appear to have leaked the specifications for some of Intel's unreleased 12th Gen Core processors. We've already seen the K and KF SKUs release, but now we also have an idea of what to expect from Intel's upcoming non-K and “F” variants.
As found by @momomo_us, the Japanese retailer, Dospara, has detailed the specifications of multiple Intel 12th Gen Core non-K desktop processors. Dell has also revealed some details through the configuration page for the Alienware Aurora R13 gaming PC.
The specifications between both sources match, with one exception: Dell lists the Intel Core i9-12900F as having a boost clock speed of 5.2GHz, while Dospara lists it at 5.1GHz, which is the same as the Core i9-12900. Here, we believe Dell made a mistake because both the F and non-F processors tend to share the same specifications, with the only difference being the lack of iGPU.
Another interesting thing we've noticed is the TDP of the Core i5-12600, which is set at 125W instead of the expected 65W. We are not sure if this is a typo, but Intel should clear this up with official details in early 2022. You can see the full list of specs in the table below:
SKU | Cores/Threads | E-Cores clock speeds | P-cores clock speeds | L3 cache | TDP |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
i9-12900 | 1.8GHz/TBA | 2.4/5.1GHz | 30MB | 65W | |
i9-12900F | 1.8GHz/TBA | 2.4/5.1GHz | 30MB | 65W | |
i7-12700 | 1.6GHz/TBA | 2.1/4.9GHz | 25MB | 65W | |
i7-12700F | 1.6GHz/TBA | 2.1/4.9GHz | 25MB | 65W | |
i5-12600 | TBA | 3.3GHz/TBA | TBA | 125W | |
i5-12400 | TBA | 2.5/4.4GHz | 18MB | 65W | |
i5-12400F | TBA |
2.5/4.4GHz | 18MB | 65W |
We expect to see these processors available in early 2022, with a possible announcement in January at CES 2022.
