Starting with the lineup, we have the top Intel Core i9-12900T which features 16 Cores (8+8), 24 threads, 30 MB of L3 cache, and boost clocks of up to 4.90 GHz. This is going to be the flagship model in the 35W lineup and we have already seen the specs of the unlocked variant, the Core i9-12900K which will boost up to 5.30 GHz with Thermal Velocity Boost.

Next up, we have the Core i7-12700T which features 12 Cores (8+4), 20 threads, 25 MB of L3 cache, and a boost clock of 4.7 GHz. The Core i5 lineup is made up of three SKUs, the Core i5-12600T, Core i5-12500T, and Core i5-12400T. All chips feature 6 cores (6+0), 12 threads, 18 MB of L3 cache. Clock speeds are reported at up to 4.6, 4.4, and 4.2 GHz, respectively.

Moving over to the Intel Core i3 lineup, we have two SKUs, the Core i3-12300T, and the Core i3-12100T. Both SKUs feature 4 cores (4+0) with 8 threads, 12 MB of L3 cache, & boost clocks at 4.20 GHz and 4.10 GHz, respectively. Models from Core i5-12500T till Core i9-12900T will feature the UHD 770 graphics while the Core i3-12100T till Core i5-12400T will feature UHD 730 graphics. All processors will be compatible with the LGA 1700 socket on the respective 600-series PCH boards. There's no word on the pricing yet but expect them to be revealed during the full unveil in mid of November.
