Intel Core i7-12700F

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.
