The i7-12700KF was launched in Q4’21 and is built on Intel’s 10 nm production process, referred to as Intel 7. It supports Intel Hyper-Threading technology, effectively doubling the core-count of the P-Cores to a total of 20 threads. This processor is compatible with DDR4 and DDR5 memory and uses a PCI-Express Gen 5 connection for communication with other components in the computer.
Designed for desktop use, the i7-12700KF is a good choice for high-end gaming and other demanding applications, offering a balance of performance and power efficiency. The ‘KF’ in the processor number indicates that this CPU does not have an integrated GPU, which is common in processors designed for users who prefer to use a discrete graphics card.
