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

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

I was deciding between i7-12700k and the i5-13600k.

My three cents:

Upgraded from an i5 7500 to the 12700k. Definitely worth it, pairing it with a GTX 1070ti and the extra cores definitely help in a lot of games.

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.

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.

This is the most anyone should need for a while as of 2022 (at least for gaming).

Performance is perfect for gaming

upgraded from i7-6700 to 12700k, the performance is great!
