In My Asus Zenbook Pro 16X OLED, The i9-12900H Combined With My RTX 3060 Is An Absolute Dream In DaVinci Resolve, PreSonus Studio One 6 And AAA Games Like RDR2 And GTA 5. This CPU Is One Of The Best I Have Ever Owned Aside From My i9-12900KS In My Fractal Design PC Combined With The RTX 3090

It's sad to see most gaming laptops don't have good cooling for CPU . seems they won't keep CPU temps stay under 85. I hate gaming at CPU temp limit.

Beast CPU with max TDP up to 115W, making it a 5Ghz. With Performance core and Efficiency core together, making it also a power efficient CPU. TDP of 45W, down to 35W, 6PC8EC and 20 threads build. Fastest CPU on the laptop market right now. When paired with powerful GPU such as 3080TiM, you laptop will beat up many average gaming desktop easily.
