REHWK has posted on Twitter screenshots of the CPU-Z application with an Intel Core i9-12900K, the flagship of the Intel Alder Lake series, running alongside overclocked DDR5 memory. The same REHWK already confirmed the rumors that the CPU will be able to cross 30K points in the Cinebench R23 multithreaded test.

 

On this occasion, he shared a screenshot of the CPU-Z software, used to find out what exact components a device has and their capabilities; with Gigabyte's own DDR5-6200 memory kit, which is probably from its AORUS brand focused on gamers. The used memory has been overclocked to 8000 MT / s according to the screenshots.

 

This is how the i9-12900K works
The system in question was equipped with a Gigabyte Z690 Tachyon motherboard, which is designed for overclockers and enthusiasts. No photos have been leaked from the hardware, but it should have two memory slots. It looks like Gigabyte will have its own high-speed memory with an XMP-6200 profile and 38-38-38-76-125 timings. To achieve this speed, you will need 1.5V, which is 400mV more than DDR4-4800 memory.

 

REHWK has not provided more details of the system from which it has taken the CPU-Z capsules, but it can be seen that the memory has been overclocked up to 4004 MHz which is 8008 MT / s. The times are 50-50-50-125-150 for CL, tRDC, tRP, tRAS, and tRC respectively.

 

The Intel Alder Lake series, of which the i9-12900K is its flagship, will support DDR4-3200 and DDR5-4800 memory by default. Those are JEDEC specs that are guaranteed on the Z690 platform, which several manufacturers have started working on. DDR5 memory modules are already being shipped to retailers, making this leaked system possible and a sample system to showcase the capabilities of Intel's new processor series.
