Intel® Core™ i7-12700KF, 12-Core Desktop Processor (8P+4E) up to 5.0GHz, LGA1700 125W 600 Series Chipset

I built with this CPU for the last 3 years and it's always returned very good performance for the price. Even today it can run about any game when paired with the right GPU.

I purchased this processor for my new PC build and let me tell you, it was a good decision.There is no reason to purchase the newest and latest processor out there for ~$500-$600 right now. There are processors that go on sale for $100-$200 all the time, just like this one.There is absolutely no lag when performing my day-to-day tasks.I paired this processor with a Gigabyte 3gb 1060 GPU and I am in love with the performance.I'm able to run Fortnite, Minecraft, Hogwarts, Stardew Valley, and any other game just fine.Browsing the web and writing code is a breeze.This has got to be the best bang for your buck right now.

Nice processor, I'm not using it for heavy gaming. Good price

It’s an amazing CPU especially for the price of $180.

I had a i3 12100F w a 3060, decided hey I want to upgrade, and holy wow. I’m actually mind blown, I play Valorant, I went from 230fps uncapped to 450fps uncapped. On Marvel Rivals I went from 100fps to 160fps capped steady, which matches my refresh rate on my monitor so it feels seamless. Great investment, it only cost me 100$ because I sold my old i3 for 65$. Amazing 100$ upgrade worth every penny so far. I have an AIO and I feel like I finally need an AIO, I’ve always felt like I wasted my money on it since my old I3 did not need that kind of cooling. I am now able to stream my games to my friends/gf without having any sort of stuttering in my game. Crazy how bottlenecked my GPU was I feel like I finally peeled the bandage and made my 3060 useful, crazy. Amazing and Overall great purchase. I would want a RYZEN but I had a LGA1700 motherboard so I decided to go this route, did not disappoint.

Works great

I ordered this processor for a gaming PC that I was building. It runs perfect at all speeds, it was easy to install, and doesn't take a lot of power. It is more than compatible with my ASUS Z790 plus WIFI motherboard. It is spot on. Even with overclocking doesn't overheat at all.

The Intel® Core™ i7-12700KF is an outstanding processor, especially considering its price. My i7-9700K used to cost around $260, but I picked up the i7-12700KF for just $170+120 for Z790 MB, and the performance upgrade is very noticeable. With its 12-core design (8 performance cores and 4 efficiency cores) and speeds up to 5.0GHz, it easily handles multitasking and gaming at a higher level. For the price, you’re getting incredible performance that outshines the older i7-9700K, making it a fantastic value. Overall, the i7-12700KF delivers top-tier performance and efficiency at an unbeatable price. Highly recommend!
