Intel Core i7-12700F 12th Gen Alder Lake Processor, LGA1700 Socket, 12Cores, 20 Threads, Up To 4.90GHz Max Frequency, 25MB Smart Cache, 128GB Max Memory, 20 PCI Express Lanes, Box | BX8071512700F

Featuring revolutionary hybrid design, the 12th Gen Intel Core processor is a breakthrough in x86 architecture. The hybrid architecture incorporates two kinds of cores — for the first time in a desktop processor — Performance-cores (P-cores) and Efficient-cores (E-cores), delivering performance or efficiency when you need it. Other features include PCIe 5.0 readiness, DDR5 support, and Intel 7 process technology for higher core density.The Intel Core i7-12700F has 8 P-cores, 4 E-cores, and 20 total threads, delivering a new level of performance for gaming, creation and productivity.Revolutionary performance and multitasking. With the highest clock speeds and a groundbreaking new architecture, you’ll be able to push your gameplay to new heights while secondary apps run seamlessly in the background. Up to 4.9 GHz Max Clock Speed (1) 12 Cores (8 Performance-cores, 4 Efficient-cores) 20 Threads (16 on Performance-cores, 4 on Efficient-cores) Divide and conquer. Intel’s new performance hybrid?architecture integrates two core families into a single CPU, keeping everything in your gaming universe running smoothly. Intel Thread Director prioritizes and manages workloads, sending tasks to the best core for the job. (2) P-cores are built for performance across single- and lightly-threaded workloads, enhancing activities like gaming and productivity. E-cores are optimized for multi-threaded performance, minimizing interruptions from secondary tasks. Performance beyond the cores. The new processor architecture is also compatible with the latest platform innovations, giving you performance improvements throughout your PC. Support for PCIe Gen 5 and DDR5 for high-performance components like memory and graphics. Thunderbolt 4 and Intel Killer Wi-Fi 6/6E (Gig+) deliver fast transfer speeds and connections to peripherals.
