Intel is discontinuing several CPU models, including the Core i9-12900KS that was released just two years ago.

Intel is moving on. The company recently posted two Product Change Notifications that announced the discontinuation of multiple processors, including the Core i9-12900KS that was released just over two years ago.

Recommended Videos The Core i9-12900KS stands out, however. Intel didn’t release a “Special Edition” model for its 10th-gen or 11th-gen flagship CPU. Prior to the Core i9-12900KS, the last one we saw was the Core i9-9900KS, which was released in 2019 and discontinued a little over a year later. The Core i9-12900KS lasted longer, but it sets a new cadence for Intel.

If you’re planning on picking one up, you should do it soon. After the CPU is discontinued, the price will likely go up. That’s been the case with the Core i9-9900KS, which is actually more expensive than the Core i9-12900KS right now. You’ll spend around $400 on a preowned model, and up to $550 on a new one.
