MTP 241W 16 cores 24 thread CPU "Core i9-12900K"

　First, let's review the CORE i9-12900K CPU.

　The Core i9-12900K is the top model of the 12th generation Intel Core processor developed code name Alder Lake-S, and the 8-core 16 thread P core (Performance core) and 8 core 8 threads (EffICIENT core).It is a CPU that achieved 16 cores and 24 threads by the hybrid configuration.

　DDR5 memory and PCIE 5.The Core i9-12900K that incorporates new standards such as 0, but the most focused thing in that specifications would be the "MTP (Maximum Turbo Power)" with the number 241W.MTP, a newly introduced power index, is an indicator of "maximum power consumption during boost operation", and this figure is used as a CPU power limit.

　However, unlike "PBP (Processor Base Power)", which is the power index that the CPU worked in the base clock, MTP is a system vendor arbitrarily configured, and is now available on the Intel Z690 motherboard.Many have a higher power limit than the MTP value.Conversely, in the future, a motherboard with a lower power limit than the MTP value may appear, and the MTP value is not a strict maximum power consumption.

　The reason that Intel bothered the Core i9-12900K MTP to 241W is to defeat the competitive 16 core 32 thread CPU "Ryzen 9 5950X".In fact, it seems that the benchmark test that measures the multi -thread performance of the CPU may exceed Ryzen 9 5950X, but the high -clock boost operation required for that is poor power efficiency, and the result obtained is "explosive fever".It was there.
