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

Cheap

Intel always a good value. This CPU didnt disappoint.

I am an enthusiastic computer tech person that wanted to build my own game desktop, and after reading and search in the web I ended up buying this processor instead of I9 (12700) since my only purpose for this desktop will be gaming. I really recommend this product.

Upgraded from an i5-7500. Have been considering whether should go for AMD or Intel for this upgrade and finally decided to give an Intel a try after reading the positive reviews of the Alder Lake.

Intel Core i7-12700K Desktop Processor 12 (8P+4E) Cores up to 5.0 GHz Unlocked LGA1700 is one monster of a chip. I have an 8th Gen I7 that is quick but this one is in a world all by itself.

Cpu works great. Performance is unreal. Only complaint isn’t with the cpu itself but with delivery. Only reason for 4 stars is Packaging was TERRIBLE! Box was smooshed so bad I’m surprised it actually works

Definitely be sure to have adequate cooling on this beast - even with a moderate overclock youre quickly drawing a ton of power and making a ton of heat! Great value for money if you need the horsepower for CAD, photo/video work and gaming.

Very fast at a good price point. Upgraded from i7 series 9. Twice as fast as the previous CPU, when using my astronomy image processing software.

Perfect quality. Everything was as advertised.

Its been roughly 6-7 years since I last build my gaming computer. Upgrading to this has been more than significant. As of this writing, I hope youve done your research the I7-12700ks price point and its competition. For this price point, it may be the top dog.
