best processor
very good processor i recommend it you can launch star citizen which is a game that takes resources from the processor and not the graphics card

Cores at work
Intel's new high-performance hybrid architecture integrates two core families into one processor for a smoother gaming experience. Intel Thread Director prioritizes and manages workloads by determining which core is best suited for each task. Performance cores are designed for unique, low-thread count workloads, enhancing activities such as video gaming or productivity tasks. Efficiency cores are optimised for multi-threading by reducing interruptions from secondary tasks.
Reach new heights
With high frequencies, achieve high performance in games. Confidently take on your opponents or explore new worlds with a revolutionary processor architecture that focuses on what matters. Intel 12th generation processors are simply designed for the next generation of gaming.

Intel's performance continues to improve.
Fast, secure delivery, a high-performance processor that doesn't overheat, what more could you ask for?

Wow!
Delivery: perfect (as usual!)
Disassembled baby, almost all parts still working .... (the motherboard was starting to fail) ... I opted for this configuration which may not be the best of the best, but which suits me perfectly for studio work ... and with a good reorganization of my case I went from a consumption in idle of 230W to a consumption of 83W ... but when you work on Premiere Pro it is really worthwhile to rely on NVMe in PCIe 4.0 Gen4 .... it's a bit more powerful than SSD in SATA 3 ... I'm very happy with the service and the quality of the product.Review automatically translated -

Latest generation processor that does its job very well
The power is there with this latest generation Cpu. 16 cores are ideal for running all applications, virtualization and gaming. On a Z690 motherboard and DDR5, it's a perfect combo.
Please note that this model does not include a GPU (as stated in the product sheet). A video card is needed to complete the system.
Furthermore, a substantial fan is also necessary (I chose a Noctua NH-D15) to avoid overheating.
I haven't tested the OC yet but I'm not too worried about it.Review automatically translated
