Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have swapped back and forth from Intel to AMD since the 90's and I can honestly state that all of my Intel PC's and laptops ran smooth as butter. AMD always seemed glitchy and slow to load while doing the most mundane of tasks. Granted its been at least 10 years since my last AMD device... But the Alder Lake CPU's are just amazing. Fast, overcockable, and just in your face! Shoot for first when gaming! Dont blow it with AMD!

Intel did a great job with 12 gen Core processors, codenamed Alder Lake - improvement on all fronts - energy efficiency, single- and multi- thread performance, P-cores and E-cores (which is a nicest feature for laptop, but for desktop a bit controversial - you need to switch to Windows 11 for E-cores to work properly). This particular 12700K - is the best solution for gamers and content creators in 2022, I am really impressed with the performance boost over 10th gen Comet Lake.

It’s a fantastic processor. I would say it’s more worth its price than the i9 12900k, at least if your goal is gaming.

Good processor for the price, don’t need faster but why not?

For the price its so good. Only 2% difference from the i9 12900k and its almost half the price a no brainer imo.

Great chip. Worked great at advertised speeds. In my opinion this is a much better option than a 600$ i9.

12th gen is much better then 11th. It's faster and runs cooler. Need windows 11 to get all the cors do work probably.

I've been running my computer with this processor for a full year now, and it's a powerhouse! I haven't had trouble running anything, at all, so no desire to upgrade to Intel's 13th or 14th generation chips at the moment.

Great! PowefuL CPU with plenty of room for overclocking supporting the latest generation and technology

Definitely good for the price per performance vs the i9 12900k which gets extremely hot and not much better.

I wanted this CPU for gaming and it has exceeded my expectations. runs cool and isa over-clockable.

A really good CPU for the money. Got it when on sale. Overall value with great performance.

Killer performance, turned up it still keeps reasonable temps with a 280 aio cooler.

powerful and runs at low temps in a custom watercooling loop. overall im Happy with my purchase

Love this cpu, got it OC and with the cooler temps even under load stay under 43c.

I been wanting to upgrade from a i7 9700k, which is am amazing cpu. Intel managed to make a cpu worth upgrading too finally. My assumptions of the i7 9th bottlenecking my rtx3070 were right, ive managed to get at 20+ average fps in warzone, sometimes even see fps ive never seen.

I bought 12700K to exchange my old 12400F on Z690 chipset. I got some FPS increase (5-10%) with 6700XT and I'm going to upgrade GPU also in near future.

In my brain this is one of the best CPUS you can get for a pc. Doesn’t hurt the bank

Intel is just the thing to buy. Fantastic speeds, runs colder than I thought!

Great product, this is the 3rd one ive bought, have 1 in my pc, 1 in my fiancées and got this for my best friend. Runs games great and tops out at about 65 °c for most high end games
