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

The processor is easy to install. To use it,

Does great while gaming and shreds when it comes to rendering. With my 9400f it would take several minutes to render videos that I have edited whereas this takes no longer than 30 seconds to a minute. Love it.

No tiene video dedicado o sea que necesitas una tarjeta gráfica pero eso hace que su rendimiento sea aún mayor

Gaming performance is the second best (after 12900K) at a much cheaper price point. Impressive multithreaded performance. Also very energy efficient when undervolted.

Estuve mirando mucha información antes comprarlo y hasta el momento ha funcionado muy bien, lo mejor es que la versión KF prácticamente no tiene diferencia en rendimiento VS la versión K, y es casi 100 dolares más barata

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.

Good value - Need a video card

Plugged this into my Asus 690-A Prime motherboard and it booted right up without any issues. Fast, DDR5 support. Will try to overclock and get even more performance.

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.

Intel came back strong with the 12th gen and their i7 SKUs are a blessing. Its one of the most recommended CPUs for gaming and productivity alike and despite the minor issues with the new P-E Core structure, the performance has been great and a great value for money too.
