    Best CPU I’ve owned to date. Sure, the 12900k was better but the price on the 12700k is difficult to beat. Should get a long time out of this one, reminiscent of the old 2500k - long term value for those who keep a CPU for a long time.

    One of the best cpu you can buy at the time with lots of performance. Paired this bad boy up with a 3080 and have no performance issues whatsover. These cpus are power hungry tho and suggest undervolting because they sure do get hot.

    I mean its an intel i7, you know what you’re getting into, obviously comparable to an R7, just make sure you know what type of motherboard you have and what you may need more of in terms of cpu

    great CPU - much better value than 12900K! If all you do is gaming I would probably suggest 12600k or maybe even 12400, but I do both productivity and gaming and wanted something that had all 8 P-cores without paying the full price of a 12900K.

    My first time building a PC and this CPU runs all my games programs really well. The performance cores handles the games really well while the efficiency cores handles the background tasks.

    Great CPU so far. Doesn’t get hot in my build with AIO cooler. Could have probably gotten away with an i5 12600k but I figured that this i7 will buy me a few extra years before I need to upgrade.

    Nice update from my 5th gen Core processor even though the base clock speeds are not that much different. Boosted photoshop performance by close to 3 times and I don’t get brush lag on big files anymore.
