Was looking for a good cpu for my first built and landed on this bad boy. Solid stuff!

Great powerful cpu, works for everything I need to do

This processor is amazing. I noticed dramatic improvement compared to my last CPU. Ordered online and it was ready in under 10 minutes! Best Buy has never let me down!

Bought this for my PC, my younger brother has the same in his PC and recommended this. He said it works great!

Great product works great easy to install and setup was super user friendly

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.

It’s a great cpu for a machine that needs to be used for both work and gaming use. Great chip would definitely recommend

If your looking for the perfect CPU for intense gaming and dabbling in multi-threaded apps every now and then, then this is the CPU for you. Way less than the i9, close to the same performance. Overclocks easy but gets a little toasty.

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.

Highly recommend!! Installed on gaming computer still working strong after 2+ years

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.

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

From i7 6700K , very impressed, glad I made the choice on this and not the i9, gaming seemed to get more than enough help from an i7 I don’t think any game will utilize more from a few more cores. Hope my Silicon Lottery luck is prime.

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.

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.

Ever since I bought this CPU I’ve had no issues with gaming, even with high strenuous games like cyberpunk

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.

I love it. Its great on my pc. Haven’t seen any problems since I bought it.

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.
