## Description

From the manufacturer

Review: Beast of a cpu - Great cpu very fast system
Review: Insane - Coming from a 8700k which at the time was over £300 at purchase. This cpu is great value for money. The 12 cores and 20 threads blow away anything you throw at it. Paired with a decent cooler the cpu at idle is just 20C and only 40-50C at full load. Even better if you can get this under £200 although it was sent from the US so it can take a bit longer to arrive.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good balance between performance & price
*by S***R on 1 September 2023*

Greetings fellow tech enthusiasts! I've upgraded from a creaky old second generation Sandy Bridge i7 to the shiny new Alder Lake i7-12700KF... And what a difference it's made. Here's what we've got: 12 cores and 20 threads make this CPU a powerhouse for multitasking and performance. Absolutely night and day compared with the 4 cores of Sandy Bridge. Overclocking? It's a breeze, like wielding a magic wand for speed. No integrated graphics on this model, but lets be honest who uses integrated graphics these days? In a nutshell, this CPU has breathed new life in to video editing (videos are rendering in minutes, not hours now, phew) & gaming for me. Yeah, it's not as fast as an i9, but it's also a lot cheaper.
