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

Bought it for my brother and it arrived in perfectly. Hes a gamer and loves it.

Excelente

Processor runs reasonably cool, typically 20c less than my GPU on the same water-cooled loop. I installed Windows 11, and it shows 20 cores. Benchmarking with RDR2 shows a laughable difference from an I7-6700K, which is a 7 year old processor; it was 2-3fps on average. Its all about the GPU folks, the CPU after 7 years makes just about 1% difference.

I think if you really want the most out of an i7, go with the i7 1300 series, because it has more cores and threads and overall is a faster chip for not a whole lot more. It’s basically like getting an i9 12th gen but as an i7 13th. Without even spending the money on an i9

Im pleased with the this processor, definitely a noticeable improvement from my last i7.

Bought for Xmas present gaming PC Build. Will update if something goes sideways.

Replaced my 8700k with the 12700k. happy happy joy joy! No complaints.

Its the latest gen i7 right now and it does not disappoint. Games at 1440p or 4k pushing 100-200fps depending on the game when paired with a RTX 3070 and 32gb of fast ram, even with no overclocking. With a ceiling to raise and such good specs out of the box, a great & futureproof choice of CPU.

Got this on a flash sale for early Prime day, at 300 bucks it was a good upgrade from a 10th gen CPU.

With an sp rating of 64 I thought I’d lost the silicon lottery but I’m still able to push 5.4 3 cores snd 5.1 all cores on a 360aio in the low 80s under high load for long runs. So even a “meh” is a beast in disquise.
