Great CPU
I love this CPU, it chunks though decent workloads without issue. I am rather impressed with the video capabilities of this processor, it does a great job for being on-board graphics. I would not recommend it for a gamer as being a replacement for a GPU, but it does run AOE IV fine. I have this for my 3d Rendering / Slicing workstation and it does the job great, I have the i7-12700F in my 3d printer as its a headless configuration, i didn’t need the graphics at the time.

Good CPU for Price
Price was fair and performs as expected. iGPU is great for media transcoding.

Great CPU
I’m using the stock Intel cooler that came with my 12700 and the highest I hit in games is about 79c, most of the time is stays in the low 70s. Idle temps stay in the 30s. That’s with the cpu wattage unlocked and raising the pl1 and pl2 settings a bit in the bios and a single intake and single exhaust fan in a mid size case. I learned a long time ago that ambient room temp and fan curves are very important. You want to exhaust as much hot air as you can out of the case as fast as possible. You can mount a skyscraper to your CPU and have 12 case fans, if your room temp is high and you don’t set proper fan curves, you’ll still run hot. I don’t care about cinebench or other benchmarks, most games people play and apps people use on a daily basis will never stress the CPU anywhere near what a benchmark will. If you do a lot of heavy video editing and conversion work and raise your wattage limits way up then yes go for a higher end cooling solution .Edit: I’ve since installed an Intel RH1 cooler (the one that comes with the i9) on this chip and it dropped my temps by an average of about 8c. I know I can buy a third party cooler but I don’t want a huge cpu cooler in my case and I don’t want to play with brackets that may not fit 100% correctly. You can find new RH1 coolers on ebay for pretty cheap.

Good
Este es el i7 12700 el mejor microprocesador de Intel en el 2024 ya que la gen 13 y la gen 14 no sirven jajaja asà estamos parece juego pero es la verdad.

VMWare ESXi and E-Cores
As a desktop processor for Windows, the CPU is great. My use case is as a consumer-grade ESXi server (specifically the latest version, 8). As I feared, ESXi cannot be installed with the stupid E-cores. So, one must disable them in BIOS and all is good. So essentially it’s used as an eight P-core processor only.ESXi is designed for server-grade hardware, which doesn’t have the silly E-cores. Perhaps one day VMWare will be able to at least detect E-cores processors and not use them (or treat them differently).My motherboard is an ASUS ROG Strix B760-I along with Corsair 2x48GB DDR5 RAM (CMK96GX5M2B6400C32, 96GB total) and a 4TB M.2 drive.

I don’t need no 13th, or 14th Gen!
Best ‘bang for the bucks’ Intel CPU on the market today. Get One!

Exceptional Business Performance
I built 7 desktop business computers with this processor. Great performance. Office programs open almost instantaneously. QuickBooks opening much faster. Network accessibility improved. Low fan noise and temperature. We are very happy with this Intel processor. Computer companies are pushing the 10th and 11th generation to reduce their inventory. Building the computers ourselves let us be on the latest and best performing 12th generation.

Does the job its intended for. You’re better off wiping off the thermal paste is comes with though, use your own trusted brand. other than that its a decent purchase

quite fast I think based on CPUZ score, but it looks like the stock fan is not enough it can get 85+c on cpuz stress test, idles around 40c +- 5c, my case has 4 fans and my room is 22-24c. I had a hard time fitting the stock fan on the motherboard, the pins would not go in easily so I had to remove it a few times I’m wondering if that affected the thermal paste so I might add some more and try again.
