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

Excellent productivity. No cons.

Yo trabajo con edición y producción audiovisual, ha mejorado mucho el rendimiento de la PC, sin duda su velocidad base es una gran ventaja, no utilizo OC porque creo que a día de hoy no hay mucho beneficio y perfectamente con la velocidad base puede con las tareas multitasking con programas pesados.

Ive had this overclocked at 5.0 GHz for a couple weeks now and it hasnt skipped a beat. I bought an MSI Z690 MPG Edge Motherboard to pair with this beast of a chip. Keep in mind, it does NOT come with a cooler so make sure you have a reputable thermal paste and a solid cooler to pair with this. I have a pre-filled watercooler (Corsair Hydro Series H115i Pro) which is giving me temps idle as low as 19°C (not joking, look at the picture). Under full load, I have yet to hit over 50°C even gaming at 1440p (2k resolution). If Im being quite honest, this CPU is overkill for gaming. If you have the extra money, go for it. If not, a i5-12600k will be just as powerful for less money.

I think all of the modern chips are overpriced since the great shortage but I wanted a new pc and chose what would be best for my application. Runs great (if a little hotter than I was anticipating) and I havent had any problems yet.

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

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.

Excellent upgrade option.

thank you

I need a new PC mainly to process photos. I was considering AMD Ryzen 7 5800X when I read the benchmark for Intels 12th generation CPUs are better than the 5800X running Adobe software. But it has a bad reputation for hogging power. The attached screen shot shows that power consumption slightly exceed the TDP of 125W during Lightroom batch export. But to my surprise, once the export is finished, power consumption is very low, even less than my AMD 4800H based laptop. Background processing uses the more efficient E-cores.
