This 12th generation desktop processor, built using Intel 7 process and Hybrid Core architecture, combines 12 cores to deliver exceptional performance. Four Efficient-cores handle background tasks for multitasking, while eight 3.6 GHz Performance-cores provide speed for demanding applications and games. The processor’s built-in Intel Thread Director dynamically and intelligently assigns workloads to the right core at the right time, ensuring optimal performance.
This processor features a 5 GHz Turbo Boost Max 3.0 frequency and 25MB of cache, providing fast and reliable performance. It also includes support for PCI Express 5.0 and dual-channel DDR5 memory at 4800 MHz to multitask a variety of demanding applications. You can even overclock this processor for even greater performance.
The Core i7-12700KF does not include integrated graphics, meaning that users will need to purchase a separate dedicated graphics card.
