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

This CPU is fast! Its great. Just be careful when youre inserting it into the motherboard and you should be good to go. It runs at a decent temperature in my Fractal case with Arctic 280 AIO. No bottlenecking in my games paired with DDR5 and a 3080 12GB GPU.

The last time I was this happy with an Intel CPU in terms of performance-per-dollar was the 4770K.

Runs cool and runs all my games well. -1 star for the packaging only one side of it was padded

Finalmente un bel passo avanti da parte di Intel. Il processore va davvero bene, parco nei consumi, potente sia in single che in multi core e non scalda eccessivamente.

Believe it or not, but under that huge cooler is the Intel Core i7-12700K processor. While I intend to later upgrade to discrete graphics, initially I am using the GPU that is internal to the processor. It was satisfying when I threw the switch the first time and everything just worked. The GPU was powerful enough to run some virtual world software that I use at a good frame rate. I believe I made the right choice in this processor.

Proformance is great and I over build because I try not to overclock. Should last me a long time.

I produce music and visuals as my main PC usage and I have been super happy with the performance of this CPU. Given some high performance nvme you will not be disappointed.

Fast and great CPU! If you are just strictly going to game just go with the i5! But I do both game and editing so this is a great CPU to start with.

excelente
