If you're looking to indulge yourself in peak-performance gaming, then look no further than this all-new 12th-generation Intel Core i7-12700K Alder Lake processor. Alder Lake chips feature innovative hybrid architecture that combines big (high-performance) cores with smaller (power-efficient), so you can look forward to intuitively scaled performance that matches whatever you are doing.
The 12th generation of Intel Core processors utilises big (Golden Cove) and little cores (Gracemont) to deliver a staggering 19% IPC performance when compared to Intel Rocket Lake architecture. Avid gamers will undoubtedly be delighted with frame rates that increase by even more startling numbers.
The Intel Core i7-12700K processor uses Intel Thread Director technology to ensure that Performance-cores and Efficient-cores are always optimised to manage the distribution of workloads. Thread Director works closely with Microsoft Windows 11 to provide the perfect environment for gaming, entertainment and creative work.
The new Intel Alder Lake processor is compatible with both the new DDR5 and DDR4 motherboards, so you can choose the option that works best for you.
