Overview

The Intel Core i7-12700K offers 12 cores and 12 threads. It drops into the LGA1700 socket with a 125W TDP — about 10.4W per core. Clocks run from 3.6GHz base to 5GHz boost. Integrated Intel UHD Graphics 770 graphics let it run headless-GPU builds and troubleshooting.

25MB of L3 cache helps in cache-sensitive games and workloads. Confirm motherboard socket compatibility before anything else, then size the cooler to the TDP. Its $349.99 price tag places it squarely in high-end territory. Drop it into the PlanMyPC builder to check compatibility with the rest of your parts and compare current processor prices across retailers.
