Intel Core i7-12700KF
The Intel Core i7-12700KF is a desktop processor released in 2021, featuring 12 cores (8 P-cores + 4 E-cores) and 20 threads, based on the Alder Lake microarchitecture.
The Intel Core i7-12700KF is a desktop processor from Intel's 12th generation, launched in November 2021. It uses the Alder Lake microarchitecture and is built on a 7 nm process node. The processor has 12 cores: 8 performance cores (P-cores) and 4 efficient cores (E-cores), with a total of 20 threads. It operates at a base clock of 3.6 GHz and can boost up to 5.0 GHz. The L2 cache totals 12 MB, and the L3 cache is 25 MB. The TDP is 125 W, with a maximum turbo power of 190 W. It supports up to DDR5-4800 or DDR4-3200 memory across two channels, but does not support ECC memory. The processor has no integrated graphics. It provides 20 PCIe lanes, supporting PCIe 5.0 and 4.0. The multiplier is unlocked, allowing overclocking. It is compatible with the FCLGA1700 socket and supports instruction sets including SSE4.1, SSE4.2, and AVX2. The launch MSRP was $384.
