An entry of Intel's Alder Lake-S based Core i9-12900K CPU has presumably been discovered within the UserBenchmark Database. The CPU spotted was running on a desktop platform & will be part of the Alder Lake-S segment which is headed for launch later this year.

The CPU has no name but given its specifications, we are most definitely looking at Intel's Core i9-12900K (12900) SKU based on older leaks. The sample features 16 cores of which 8 are based on the Golden Cove and 8 should be based on the Goldmont architecture. This should give us a total of 24 threads (16 threads from performance cores and 8 threads from efficiency cores). As for the clock speeds, since this is an engineering sample, we are looking at a 1.80 GHz base and 3.65 GHz boost frequency but expect them to be much higher in retail and final qualification variants.
