Coming from an AMD Ryzen 3700X. For my workflow and use (heavy video editing/rendering & general computing), this CPU rocks. I was surprised to see some operations taking half the time to complete. The difference between waiting a half hour instead of an entire hour is a game-changer for me.
For the performance you get, this chip will last for a few years and handles games excellently. The 12700k does this perfectly. Be sure to get a Z690 board to unlock the OC capabilities of this CPU.
Perfect quality. Everything was as advertised.
FIVE STARS
I bought four of these to upgrade PC's around my house. Blazing fast runs cool. Be wary of the coolers you buy.
The arctic freeze 360 will destroy this chip, save yourself the time. I learned the hard way
