Solid gaming performance
Eight P cores plus four E cores is a decent combination
Much better value for money than Core i9-12900K
Easy to overclock by 300MHz
Runs nice and cool under load
The editors didn't like
A Z690 motherboard and DDR5 memory will cost a small fortune
The reduced number of E cores hurts Core i7 performance
Intel’s power efficiency requires work

On paper there is very little to separate the Core i7-12700K from the more expensive Core i9-12900K, however our testing demonstrates conclusively that simply chopping out four E cores and dropping clock speeds a tad is indeed a big deal.To put it another...

They're all fantastic, and I think most will be happy with the 12600K or even the 12700K if you need a little more punch. The prices of both are certainly more competitive than I expected. However, the 12900K is just such a brutal weapon that I can't help...

Our measurements and benchmark scores show that Alder Lake-U processors can make sense, but both Intel as well as notebook manufacturers make it rather difficult for the customer. There are multiple factors for this, starting with the sheer number of Inte...
As we make good headway into 2022 and beyond, the dynamic of the CPU market is constantly changing and evolving. What was once for many years a war based on core count on chips between Intel and AMD has now become a battle of whose core performs more effi...

Price, Matches 12900K gaming performance, Single- and Multi-threaded performance, Class-leading gaming performance, PCIe 5.0 and DDR5 memory, Overclockable, Power efficiency improved,
Only Z690 motherboards for now, No bundled cooler, Platform pricing, Draws more power than Ryzen
The Core i7-12700K comes with all of the gaming performance of its higher-priced i9 counterpart while beating competing Ryzen chips, but it's significantly less expensive. That makes the Core i7-12700K the go-to chip for gamers looking for the highest per...
Performance very close to Core i9-12900K, Huge gains in low-threaded applications, Much better price/performance than 12900K, 5800X & 5900X, Good energy efficiency, Integrated graphics, Multiplier unlocked, Support for DDR5 and PCI-Express 5.0, 10 nanomet
New LGA1700 motherboards required, Some workloads get scheduled onto wrong cores, Energy efficiency worse than AMD Zen 3, No CPU cooler included, Manual overclocking not worth it
The Intel Core i9-12700K will sell for around $420. Performance very close to Core i9-12900K Huge gains in low-threaded applications Much better price/performance than 12900K, 5800X & 5900X Good energy efficiency Integrated graphics Multiplier unlocked S...
