    1. Upgrading? You’ll need new mobo and maybe heatsink! 2. Use Win11 for best performance due to the 2 different types of cores: Power and Efficiency. (Just like your phone!) 16P and 8E on my 12700K. Win10 does not support Intel Thread Director.

    It is good value if you can pair it with a motherboard that won't break the bank. Performs to spec. Holds boost clocks indefinitely. I am sure it would be good for overclocking. Just be sure to run with Windows 11 for full performance.

    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.

    Initially I was going to purchase the 13th Gen i7 but after seeing the price drop I had to buy it. Super fast CPU that allows me to do video editing and game with no issues.

    Significant performance jump, single core due to new architecture and multi core thanks to extra E cores. No need to get the i9 for gaming, general use and even productivity unless you have some specific requirements

    It gives me no problems as far as I’ve seen since it’s been installed and my computer has never run faster since the upgrade.

    This processor is great. Runs cooler than a 5000 series amd while gaming at least. Can get very hot with mce enabled on multitasking benchmarks. Plays those games that don't like AMD very well.

    Upgraded from a gen 8, really loving the speed and performance, matched it with a MSI motherboard and am really happy overall. Kudos to my local Best Buy for having all the parts needed in store.
