    Product was readily available from Best Buy. Had checked other places and it would not have been available until sometime in January of 2023. This was a Christmas gift.

    I am very impressed with the 12th gen core processors. This is the best leap Intel has made in years. I have been running AMD for 10+ years, but building PCs I will always look for the next better, faster thing.

    Works well in a MSI B660M Mortar DDR4 motherboard. Running on Windows 10 with no issues. I would recommend the 12400 if you don't have an aftermarket cooler yet, as that one is even better value.
