ONE OF THE BEST CPU EVER FOR PERFORMANCE(by intel)
Gayatri
1 year ago
10 / 10
PLESE READ THIS , THIS WOULD BE HELPFUL FOR PLANNING TO BUY A GOOD CPU !INTEL CORE i9-12900K is only behind the new and upgraded i9-12900KS ( which is 300$ more and don't worth it that much more). To me its the best chipset for anything I wanna do because its such a all-rounder . IT IS MORE POWERFUL THAN AMD's RYZEN 9-5900X OR 5950X ! . It smartly manages work load by using its efficiency cores to do less strain full works and save power and performance cores to do high strained works , which is pretty sick if you ask me :) . And finally for those people who think that it's way too power hungry , it isn't . When we compare i9-12900K side-by-side to our AMD' 9 5900X and 9 5950X boys : At Blender-gooseberry benchmarking ---- our intel boy was drawing out ABOUT 250W OF POWER ! , while our AMD boys were at about 150 W . BUT,...... AT GAMING (F1 2021) ---- Intel BOI was WITHIN THE BASE POWER OF 125 W averaging about at 100 W . BUT ON THE OTHER HAND ,........ Our AMD Boys WERE DRAWING MORE POWER THAN INTEL BOI . Man these Efficiency cores packs a punch , turns out Gaming isn't enough to push these to their limits as it is manageable by efficiency cores while benchmarks are made to push CPU's to their absolute limits and that much performance would come at least at a cost of that power. And it definitely gets too hot when that much electricity is used up in that tiny little thing , so , do buy some serious cooling system to pair with it .OR OR OR ORTrust me your are never gonna lose if you're choosing AMD or Intel , but to choose one , here is some tip :- + Intel chips have more powerful cores + AMD have less good cores than Intel but makes it up by have having more cores# CONCLUSION : Intel have adequate number of cores most program (including serious games) can use at max but AMD has so many cores that a program rarely or doesn't use all of the cores ( unless you are doing 3D rendering and blending stuff which would benefit from more cores ) and we know that Intel has far better cores than AMD , so for me the Winner is Intel . FINALLY IF YOU'RE READY TO SPEND SOME MONEY ON A GREAT COOLING SYSTEM FOR YOUR PC THEN THIS CPU IS A BIG YES FOR ME ! ( I hope this was helpful to who ever is reading it this FAR XD , Bye )
Pros
- One of the Most powerful by intel so far
- Very reliable , (can do any type of work with this much beast like power)
- Chosen by overclockers around the world
- Perfectly manages works by using efficiency cores for less strained works and performance cores for high level strained works
Cons
- Not the best of intel (successor :- Core i9-12900KS)
- This CPU is HOT !
- MUST HAVE A HONKING GREAT COOLING SYSTEM
