Keep in mind that we are talking about a plate 18 + 2 phases E-ATX digital power supply with an aluminum dissipation system and latest generation heat pipes, where the whole plate also incorporates a solid armor of said material. As the name suggests, this is an extreme card to push any Intel 10 or 11 series processor to the limit, so we’ve got everything there has been and to be had on a card.
Now offered with a 25% discount for 739.89 dollars.
ASUS ROG XII EXTREME
This is the previous version of the board we just talked about and while we might think there are some minor changes, the truth is that they are important if we are to take an Intel processor to the extreme without losing a little performance. DDR4 memory support remains enabled 4,800 MHz, a speed not very suitable for mortals, where in addition to integrating a 16 phases For 18 of its sisters it has very high performance, but there are some limitations in this Z490 chipset.
Most important to the average user is the smallest number of PCIe lanes (16 vs 20) and faced with overclocking the fact of having only 4 PCIe X4 lanes for DMI instead of 8. In terms of performance, we won’t notice a difference between the two models unless we want to upgrade to higher FPS or MHz, where experienced users can scratch that extra power.
Now we can find it by 579.89 dollarss.
AMD Ryzen 5 5600G
A processor of 6 hearts and 12 threads with socket AM4 which reaches a base frequency of 3.9 GHz and a Boost of 4.4 GHz for a TDP of only 45 watts and incorporates a 16MB L3 cache. It is capable of supporting Dual Channel with a maximum non-overclocked configuration of DDR4-3200 MHz.
Being a Cezanne APU integrates PCIe 3.0 and an iGPU Vega 7 at a speed of 1.9 GHzSo we won’t need to buy a GPU if our games don’t require a lot of power. It drops by 8% to stand at 259.90 dollars.
Intel Core i5-12600K
It’s just released and already has its first offer, which is also interesting, which indicates that AMD will retaliate soon and therefore Intel wants to strike earlier by setting a more attractive price. We are talking about a CPU of 10 cores where 6 of them are P-Cores and 4 are E-Cores, which gives you a total of 16 wires.
It has two IMCs intended for DDR4 or DDR5, where in the first case it will support 3200 MHz without overclock and in the second 4,800 MHz. In addition to this, we must take into account its Maximum Boost with 4.9 GHz, support for PCIe 5.0 and a 1.45 GHz UHD 770 iGPU, all for a TDP in Maximum Turbo mode of 150 watts.
Its price drops by 11% to stand at 309.89 dollars.
Intel Core i9-12900K
It’s the best of the best for gaming today, there’s nothing faster you can buy to get the latest FPS out of your GPU, and we’re talking about a CPU with 16 cores (8 P colors and 8 E colors) for a total of 24 wires. It will operate at maximum frequency in its P-Cores of 5.2 GHz and integrates the same iGPU as its mid-range sibling: UHD 770, but at a frequency of 1.55 GHz.
Its TDP in Turbo Maximum mode is set at 241 watts, so we’ll need a lot of cooling to keep it at optimum temperatures. Now offered with a 5% discount for 639.90 dollars.
