Intel Core i7-12700K Desktop Processor 12 (8P+4E) Cores up to 5.0 GHz Unlocked  LGA1700 600 Series Chipset 125W

I upgraded to this CPU after some HEAVY research, asking Reddit (Both Intel and AMD subreddits), weighing in money VS performance gained. I have used AMD since I was a teen and started building computers. The conclusion is this: It is an amazing CPU, runs faster and cooler than my Ryzen 7 1700. The price AND performance VS AMD (Also including a board) was better than if I had went with a Ryzen 7 5800X.

Proformance is great and I over build because I try not to overclock. Should last me a long time.

je quitte un i7 6700k (6eme gén) qui avait fait son taf pour le nouveau i7 12700k et la cest le jour et la nuit.

Great CPU so far. Only limiting this CPU at the moment is the early versions of Z690 motherboard software that might not be overclocking at optimal levels (using auto overclock). Make sure you have a good CPU cooler or a cooler designed for the LGA 1700. Currently the Gigabyte settings for overclocking (bios or windows app) is pushing the CPU above spec and will cause throttling. I am using a Corsair H150i Elite CAPELLIX 360mm.

Been using for over 2 months and no issues so far.

I am not a power user… Games, some technical work and finances. This is the perfect cpu for most users.

Undevolted and overclocked to 4.8GHz, 170w on Cinebench 23 pushing 23300 points. Under heavy worloads on Cubase I have cpu power to spare, and when exporting an MP3 with 100% utilization, temps stay in the mid 60s with a Vetroo 5 air cooler. Perfect for my needs!

The best value processor get it 340$

Read the reviews. The 12th Gen i7 puts even the 12th Gen i9 to a test. It is fast and startups only take seconds. Stable as a rock.

On of the best Gaming CPUs in market right now.
