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!

CPU did not work

Fast and nice. Good shopping experience for me.

Lost the silicon lottery. My CPU doesnt clock as high as advertised out of the box. Requires very extreme over lock settings to achieve 5 ghz.

Great product!! Easy to install. Ran a 10th fan i7 in my old computer and loved it. New computer has the 12 th gen i7 and I love it.

Volevo dare 5 stelle perché il processore è sulla carta eccellemte e anche dei benchmark. Mi risulta però che si ferma al. 90 percento come se avesse un incompatibilità con la mia asus z690 a gaming. Ancora non ho ben capito quindi do 4 stelle.

No regrets

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

Installed much easier than I thought it would, and it works like a charm. However, I thought i was a bit expensive..

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.
