The Intel i7-12700KF is a 12-core processor with 20 threads, combining 8 performance cores and 4 efficient cores to handle demanding workloads and heavy multitasking. It runs at a base frequency of 3.6 GHz and boosts up to 5.0 GHz, with 37 MB of total cache to keep data flowing through intensive applications.
This CPU fits the LGA 1700 socket and supports both DDR4-3200 and DDR5-4800 memory, up to 128 GB across two channels. Note that it has no integrated graphics and does not include a cooler, so a discrete graphics card and a separate cooling solution rated for up to 190 W are required to complete your build.
