Intel Core i7-12700KF Review

Intel dropped its overclockable Alder Lake-S desktop processors last year and we had already reviewed its flagship Core i9-12900K and then the market has exploded with its 12th Gen processors occupying the shelves without any stock issues at all. Now, with double the amount of cores since last year, Intel has played a smart game using its new 10nm process to shrunken the core size and use extra Efficient cores (Gracemont architecture) as a mix to its new Performance cores.Even though these new P-cores runs at similar clock speeds as the 11th Gen ones, yet, the newer ones give an average of 19% improvement when running at the same frequency against the “Cypress Core” architecture. However, it’s true that Alder Lake-S desktop CPUs are very power hungry and needs proper cooling, especially these overclockable K series chips. With an attractive price of around Rs.40k, the Intel Core i7-12700KF is a great option for gamers who do not need an iGPU and save some money from the regular Core i7-12700K. So, this 12 core monster caught our eyes and we bought it for review, yes, we are impressed with the performance it offers for the pricing.This processor has 03 years warranty (no warranty for fan or cooler).
