At $315, the i9-12900k is a $115 more than the i7-12700kf. That is a 57.5% increase in the overall price for a 10%-20% increase in performance. In my opinion, the performance does not justify the upgrade cost (I would go with the i7-12700kf).
Hopefully, this helps you conceptualize the difference between the two CPU's at their price points. Best of luck!

You can most certainly turn them back on. I enabled mine back on but noticed I won't hit my max boost on all cores under an extreme cpu stress test as it was power limited. But a -75mv IA offset fixed that and made the cpu run overall cooler to boot. I highly recommend anyone who buys one play a little with undervolting. It takes a little bit of tweaking and a couple overnight stress testing, but seems worth it if you plan to keep it for years.

I9 tend to be better in gaming for the same gen. But that still depends on your other parts.
lol
GN benchmarked this CPU and it was showing as using 300+ watts.

Well, those limits are set by intel of which the vast majority of motherboards turns off by default.

In short, the i9 is unlikely to be a better "value" unless you absolutely need the extra cores for heavily multi-threaded workloads.

Power aside, I really like the CPU if the user is willing to tinker with it for different applications, and use Win 11. Assuming, the price is right.
