That split is exactly what a streaming or content build needs, and it's why twenty threads here feel more useful than the raw number suggests. Add UHD 770 graphics and 25MB of cache, and this is a well-rounded chip for a machine that games hard and works hard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe power number to plan around\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e65W is the base figure; under sustained all-core load this chip pulls up to 180W, so a decent tower cooler is required — the bundled cooler will let it throttle. It's also locked, so no overclocking. And LGA1700 is now an end-of-life socket: this is an excellent buy on a board you already own or find cheaply, but if you're building fresh with an eye on upgrades, the Core Ultra platform or AM5 have futures ahead of them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8 Performance-cores + 4 Efficient-cores, 20 threads total\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4.9GHz max turbo with 25MB Smart Cache\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntel UHD Graphics 770 on board\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports DDR4 or DDR5 depending on the motherboard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePCIe 5.0 and 4.0 support\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSPECIFICATIONS:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: Intel Core i7-12700 (BX8071512700)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal Cores: 12 (8 Performance-cores + 4 Efficient-cores)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThreads: 20\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eP-core Base Frequency: 2.1 GHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMax Turbo Frequency: 4.9 GHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCache: 25 MB Intel Smart Cache\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProcessor Base Power: 65 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum Turbo Power: 180 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSocket: FCLGA1700\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMemory: DDR5 up to 4800 MT\/s or DDR4 up to 3200 MT\/s, 2 channels, max 128 GB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated Graphics: Intel UHD Graphics 770\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePCI Express: PCIe 5.0 and 4.0, up to 20 lanes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnlocked for Overclocking: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarranty: 3 Year\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWHAT'S IN THE BOX:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntel Core i7-12700 processor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntel stock cooler (as supplied in the retail box)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDocumentation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Intel?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSplitting work between performance and efficiency cores is what lets one machine game and encode at the same time without either suffering.
