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

This 12th Gen Unlocked CPU is amazing for a Gamer PC Build compared to the Ryzen 5000 Series. The new LGA 1700 boards have an added benefit compared to the aging AM4 boards. This CPU support PCIe 5.0 and DDR4 or DDR5 RAM. I like how efficient Intel designed it because the P cores are optimized for gaming while the efficient E cores deal with the background tasks. Make sure to buy a good AIO cooler because the CPU will run hot when there is lots of load! Please note a new Intel CPU will come with its Intel factory seal outside the box. Moreover, I ran the CPU under 6% when running Minecraft with raytracing.

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!

No regrets

No issues & strong CPU!

I’ve never been and mad or intel fanboy. I’ve always gone for that’s the best bang for your buck… or what performs the best at a reasonable price. For the first time sense Ryzen I’m surprised to say intel is cheaper and light years ahead of its competitors with the 12700k.

Runs faster than a first gen threadripper and it has integrated graphics which helped with troubleshooting on my build. Overall quality gaming experience on 1440p with dedicated graphics. And might handle minecraft without one and no mods at 1080p.

After reading reviews of the I9-12900k, this seems like a better choice to me regardless of price. I am seeing very little difference in single threaded benchmarks, and maybe 15-18% faster multi threaded performance on the I9-12900k. But that comes at the price of using a lot more power and hitting over 90 degrees Celsius in some cases on temperatures when stress testing. While I dont normally overclock my system, I bet you could likely hit those performance numbers with an overclock on the 12700K if you really wanted to.

This is an excellent CPU. Ive had an i5 in the past and decided to upgrade to an i7 for my new build. Installation was a breeze, and it works quite well. Integrated graphics are definitely worth the money if youre trying to decide between the 12700F and 12700K. I definitely recommend the K.
