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.

    More is better

    An oversized processor for many uses, especially gaming. Very good benchmark performance. Just make sure you have a good cooling system. In a 100% stress test on all cores, it consumes 240W. With a well-built 360mm AIO, its temperature is maintained at 80-85°c.

    Very good processor.

    Hello, this Intel core i7 12700 kf processor is quite powerful. It's fast and works very well in games.
    What's more, it doesn't heat up very much. I would recommend it.
