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

Intel or AMG both are quality, I went for Intel as I believe it to be a safer option for a first time builder. Easy to install, and reliable performance you would expect from Intel.

Amazing CPU previously had a i3 12100f so for me it was an extreme upgrade. Extra, more stable fps in pretty much all my games. Can also tune with intel xtu which is a good feature to have.

Delivery was about a week from the US but packaging could of been better as the processor was rattling about in the amazon box that had no supporting packaging or wrapping, CPU was loose in the actual intel box as had come loose in transit.. i did test the CPU in my new build and is so far running ok, no pads on CPU package looked damaged so thats a plus. "SELLER - YOU MUST PACKAGE THESE PROPERLY before shipping worldwide."

Upgraded PC with mother board and graphics card, new board did not facilitate my older processor. Bought this as I considered it fast enough for my needs and at a reasonable price. All works great.

Arrived just on time and it works perfectly with my components.Has everything it says

So, being an AMD fanboy, I was not keen on getting this, but the c/t (cores to threads) kinda caught my eye. Running 12 cores, and 20 threads (4 e-cores i think) I thought, well, for the price, it should be okay?I was wrong...This cpu is a monster in my eyes. Running with 32GB of ram (ddr4) and matched with the RTX 4070 GPU being cooled by the Artic Liquid Freezer ii, there is nothing stopping this from performing to its max. I would recommend this piece of kit to anyone, starting out or continuing on with building computers for their "high end" gaming etc. I have not once seen this struggle.

Costs a lot and I do not recommend to anyone with a tight budget like £900 if you have a tight budget I suggest the ryzen 5 5600x but overall the cpu is great and it works perfectly fine with any game

Excellent cpu and great value
