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

No doubt, 12th gen Intel processors are a marvel of computing technology. Although there is a continuing tug of war between Intel and AMD in this regard. I personally chose Intel Core i7 (12700K) with inbuilt UHD graphics for my newly built desktop PC. For those, who dont want to use a separate and usually exorbitantly priced graphics cards, this processor is a very good alternative. It can handle most of the processing intensive rendering of Blender easily with its unlocked overclocking (obviously you have to use the supporting motherboard, i.e. presently available Z690 chipset motherboards). It can also smoothly handle almost all the tasks of Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop with no hiccups. Not to mention the support of 4K video with HDR if you are looking for some decent and the latest entertainment in your PC. I would suggest this 12th Gen i7 to those who want to use their PC for content creation purpose in the best possible way and also at the same time save some money (compared to 12th Gen i9, which would ideally be the best anyway, but costlier too). The price is still at a high level. Hopefully this comes down soon with the launch of Intels 13th Gen processors!

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.

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

The 12700k easily crushes anything I throw at it, was debating between this and the 5800X but this was cheaper at the time and performs better.

It’s a little expensive but regardless, this thing is a beast. Paired it with a 3070 ti that I got on sale and so far haven’t had any issues. I’m not over clocking so I can’t review that, but for normal, everyday gaming this thing tears it up so far!

Funciona a la perfección, los programas que eran pesados ejecutan de manera fluida lo mejor es que llegó en los tiempos indicados.

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.

My three cents:

the CPU works great and is super fast. i didnt really want to pay for the latest and greatest, mainly because i have found that a 10% increase can add 50% to the price of the CPU. one thing to watch out for, there is no cooling fan in this package, so you have to buy one. you can get the CPU with a fan, but its a different part number. personally, even though it cost more to buy the fan separately, i believe the Noctua cooler i got will work much better than anything Intel provides.

If youre thinking about it and you have a 7700k or earlier, just do it; its time..... Almost 50-100% increase in fps in all games and can play some games I couldnt before.... Get an LGA1700 360mm radiator for super cool temps... And get a DDR5 and PCIe 5.0 board for Gods sake lol dont get DDR4 like a clown
