Intel Core i7-12700F Processor - 12th Gen Alder Lake Performance

The Intel Core i7-12700F delivers exceptional desktop computing performance with its hybrid architecture design. Featuring 12 cores (8 Performance-cores and 4 Efficient-cores) and 20 threads, this processor handles demanding workloads, content creation, and intensive applications with ease.

Hybrid Architecture Performance

Built on Intel's Alder Lake architecture, the i7-12700F combines Performance-cores running up to 4.8GHz and Efficient-cores reaching 3.6GHz. With Intel Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0, the processor achieves speeds up to 4.9GHz for maximum single-threaded performance. The 2.1GHz base frequency ensures stable operation while maintaining a 65W processor base power rating.

Technical Specifications

This processor includes 25MB of Intel Smart Cache with an additional 12MB L2 cache for rapid data access. The LGA1700 socket design supports DDR5 and DDR4 memory configurations up to 128GB maximum capacity. With PCI Express 5.0 and 4.0 support across 20 lanes, the i7-12700F provides bandwidth for modern graphics cards and NVMe storage devices.

The maximum turbo power of 180W allows sustained performance during intensive tasks. The F-suffix designation indicates no integrated graphics, making this processor ideal for builds with dedicated graphics cards where integrated GPU functionality is unnecessary.

Ideal for Performance Computing

The i7-12700F suits multi-threaded applications, rendering workloads, and systems requiring robust CPU performance. The retail packaging includes a heatsink for thermal management. The processor's 12-core configuration provides substantial parallel processing capability for professional software and demanding applications.
