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

I need a new PC mainly to process photos. I was considering AMD Ryzen 7 5800X when I read the benchmark for Intels 12th generation CPUs are better than the 5800X running Adobe software. But it has a bad reputation for hogging power. The attached screen shot shows that power consumption slightly exceed the TDP of 125W during Lightroom batch export. But to my surprise, once the export is finished, power consumption is very low, even less than my AMD 4800H based laptop. Background processing uses the more efficient E-cores.

Pushing over 17000 on timespy with this baby without any fancy overclocking. Using the asus tuf mobo because ddr5 is sold out everywhere and the rog mobo wont fit my noctua fan. Check your fans site to make sure you have an lga 1700 functionality and that your mobo doesnt have mechanically problematic design.

If youre not going next gen, this is your best option, great price and amazing performance both in gaming and productivity

Ridiculously easy to overclock and runs stable. AMD processors in the past, Ive had to fumble with the settings for a long time till I got it right. With this CPU, everything just worked and no additional configuration required. I paired this with the Asus TUF Gaming Z-690 Plus Wifi D4 motherboard and they pair nicely. I picked this board cause of the DDR4 support and it runs perfectly. Only complaint I have is that it uses a lot of power.

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.

Upgraded my gaming PC from an old i7-6700k and this thing is FAST! It does run pretty hot though, so make sure your cpu cooler is up to the task and you have good airflow in your case. Bonus feature: Doubles as a space heater in the cooler months!

Upgraded from an i5-7500. Have been considering whether should go for AMD or Intel for this upgrade and finally decided to give an Intel a try after reading the positive reviews of the Alder Lake.

il pacco é stato maltrattato, non so se dal venditore o da amazon, se il processore non funziona faró il reso.

Super fast CPU for just about anything youd like to do with it. Highly recommend, couldnt be happier!

Working 1,5 x faster then my old 9700
