JAKARTA - A recently leaked retail listing has detailed more information about the upcoming Intel Core i9-12900KS. It's touted, as a special edition version of the upcoming Alder Lake flagship.

This information comes from two classified lists discovered by Twitter user @momomo_us, which can be found by searching for the product code: “BX8071512900KS.” It's not clear from which retailer this list was taken, but @momomo_us has a pretty solid track record when it comes to leaking leaks about computer technology.

According to the listing, the Intel Core i9-12900KS will have a base power of 150W which is 25W more than the base model. The CPU will also have a Max Turbo of 5.5 GHz.

As for the price, it's listed to range between US$780 (around Rp. 11.1 million) and US$ 792 (around Rp. 11.3 million), which is much higher than the official MSRP. This is likely a replacement price, as Intel may not have released any pricing information to retailers, if the listings were for real.

Reported by Techradar, the Intel Core i9-12900KS was originally revealed at CES 2022, but there has been no additional information since. Given that the Intel Core i9-12900K, the base version of this processor, is much faster than the Ryzen 9 5900X, it's no big surprise that Intel wanted to release a special edition version to celebrate its success.

After all, Team Blue did the same with the Intel Core i9-9900KS in 2019.
