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.

I purchased this processor in 2022 for a new PC build. The have been using the system daily since then and have had zero issues. I would recommend this cpu still to this day.

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!

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

Finally upgraded from an i5-2500K that was getting a bit long in the tooth with today's AAA gaming titles. The Alder Lake i7-12700K, paired with Nvidia's 3080ti, more than doubles the frame rate with ease, while staying below 60c via Noctua cooling.
For sure this processor is insanely fast, and future be told it will maintain the same strong running Sandy Bridge attained. Verdict ... buy this Intel beast right here, right now.

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.
