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

I upgraded to this CPU after some HEAVY research, asking Reddit (Both Intel and AMD subreddits), weighing in money VS performance gained. I have used AMD since I was a teen and started building computers. The conclusion is this: It is an amazing CPU, runs faster and cooler than my Ryzen 7 1700. The price AND performance VS AMD (Also including a board) was better than if I had went with a Ryzen 7 5800X.

Good

thank you

Ça marche bien, avec assez de coeurs et de lanes pour samuser sur des machines virtuelles, mais moi qui garde mon ordinateur constemment allumé (inactif, mais avec chrome ouvert et une trentaine donglets dont certains sactualisent tout seuls), jai bien augmenté ma conso par rapport à mon 7700K précédent.

Ridiculously easy to overclock and runs stable. AMD processors in the past, Ive had to fumble with the settings for a long time till I got it right. With this CPU, everything just worked and no additional configuration required. I paired this with the Asus TUF Gaming Z-690 Plus Wifi D4 motherboard and they pair nicely. I picked this board cause of the DDR4 support and it runs perfectly. Only complaint I have is that it uses a lot of power.

I got 5.3Ghz across all 8 p cores 75° average running multiple loups of conebench r23 at 1.385 volts

20%+ faster than 8700k clock for clock.

Worked as advertised

Works as expected. Great price-performance from this chip, huge upgrade from my Ryzen 2700x.

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.
