Hardware support: Intel 12th Core Series Review Megathread

compilation of 17 launch reviews with ~1100 gaming benchmarks
stock performance on default power limits, no overclocking
only gaming benchmarks for real games compiled, not included any 3DMark & Unigine benchmarks
benchmarks strictly at CPU limited settings, mostly at 720p or 1080p P1/99th
geometric mean in all cases
gaming performance average is (good) weighted in favor of reviews with better scaling and more benchmarks
for Intel's CPUs, K & KF models were seen as "same" - but the MSRP is always noted for the KF model

PS (Nov 5):
Since some have asked about this: The Intel prices listed refer to their official tray prices for orders of 1000 units, but for KF models. Usually, this price corresponds to what the retailers demand - since Intel then gives further significant discounts internally. In more recent times, Intel even officially states these tray prices for 1000 units as "Recommended Customer Price".
Core i5-12600KF: $264.00 - $274.00
Core i7-12700KF: $374.00 - $384.00
Core i9-12900KF: $564.00 - $574.00

Intel rumored to hire remaining employees from Centaur, maker of “Haswell level” x86 CPUs with AVX-512 support, from VIA Technologies for $125 million dollars

Posted: 04 Nov 2021 08:30 PM PDT

According to the Asian Press, Intel is hiring the employees from VIA's Centaur division – the makers of "Haswell level" AVX-512 capable 8-core CPUs you can read more about here, when we had an AMA with Centaur about their CPUs – in return for a payment of $125 million dollars.

VIA announced today that VIA and centraur Technology, a 100 percent subsidiary, have signed a contract with U.S. firm Intel to pay $125 million to hire some of the Centeraur employees of the VIA Group for CPU research and development.

Source : UDN

Centaur Technology is understood to have been founded in April 1995 by Glenn Henry, Terry Parks, Darius Gaskins and Al Sato. Funded by Integrated Device Technology, Inc (IDT). The business goal is to develop compatible x86 processors that are cheaper and consume less power than Intel processors.

With IDT funding, Centaur Technology has developed three different products and is marketed under the WinChip name. Centaur Technology was acquired by VIA from IDT in September 1999. Since then, with the technical support of Centaur Technology, VIA has sold a total of five processors under the name VIA C3, as well as a significant number designed for the VIA C7 processor, as well as the latest VIA Nano 64-bit processor at the time. At the end of 2019, Centaur Technology released the world's first high-performance x86 single-chip processor with a consolidated AI-tong processor using Centaur Technology's CNS core. Centaur Technology, which is headquartered in Texas, currently employs more than 100 people, according to VIA. After the deal with Intel, it is unclear how many Centaur Technology employees Intel will hire, which will respect the employee's wishes but will not include fixed or intangible assets. At this stage, however, Intel, VIA and Centaur Technology are all optimistic about the deal. As for whether there will be other deals after the event, VIA has no official explanation on the basis of confidentiality terms. Source: Technews Taiwan
