- It's a very powerful and low-power consumption CPU. - It is great for gaming and editing. - Overclocking potential is insane! You can get crazy performance gains from overclocking this CPU.


- Massive upgrade from my 10th gen Intel i7 10700k - Great Price - Runs efficiently and at low temperature - Runs everything I need with no lag

Good match for most midrange GPUs

Not sure what to say. Installed it and booted up. Did a quick benchmark and seems to be on par with other 12700.

This processor is another great upgrade from the older series.

Easy to install. Even comes with a little intel sticker! For this price point its a great cpu.

good processor, one of the best on the market,

- close in performance to much more expensive CPUs - 18 (!) cores - matches AMD in gaming and handily beats in productivity

Huge upgrade over my Ryzen 1700

Tested good, scored 27576 on Passmark benchmark test. Was packaged well. Runs relatively cool for the power it has.

3d v cache

Great value, performance especially when on sale

Dropped in. The BIOS handled it (I updated it long ago anyway) and it's plenty fast. I mean, my i5 was also pretty fast, but this is more fasterer.

This thing is fast....really fast

-great price

It outforms is or almost the same as the 9950 and 9800 in gaming.

Reall good CPU IPC gains are major over the previous gen. My CPU runs at 4.7GHz on all cores at 1.31v


There hasn't been a processor in a long time that has impressed me as much as this one. I have had every processor from the 6700k to the 12900k and I have never really seen an increase in FPS in one of my games, until now. I play R6 Siege and I went from around 200-250 FPS with an 11900k to 350-400 with the 12900k. I don't know what it is about this processor, but it runs very well in that game.
