Intel Core i7-12700KF 3.6 GHz 25 MB, LGA 1700 - processor (WOF)

The Intel Core i7-12700KF is a desktop processor designed for the LGA 1700 socket, featuring a hybrid architecture that balances performance and efficiency. This design allows the system to prioritize heavy workloads on dedicated performance cores while directing background operations to efficiency cores. It serves as a central component for builds requiring significant multitasking capabilities and high-speed data throughput. The processor is compatible with modern motherboard chipsets that provide various options for system memory and storage expansion.

This model is a \"KF\" variant, which requires a dedicated video card for display output as it does not include an onboard graphics processor. The architecture supports high-bandwidth communication with other hardware through multiple generations of PCIe lanes for storage and graphics. The manufacturing process and large internal cache are designed to minimize bottlenecks in data-heavy applications. It is intended for systems with existing high-performance cooling, as the retail package is provided without a factory heatsink or fan. This component is aimed at desktop users building systems for computation, gaming, or professional creative work.
