Intel Core i7-12700 2.1 GHz 25 MB, LGA 1700 - processor, boxed

The Intel Core i7-12700 is a 12th generation desktop processor built on the Alder Lake architecture. It utilizes a hybrid design featuring a combination of performance and efficient cores to manage varying computational tasks simultaneously. This configuration allows the system to prioritize heavy workloads on primary cores while secondary background processes run on the efficient cores. The processor adjusts its frequency dynamically based on demand to balance power consumption and processing speed during intensive applications such as content creation or multi-threaded software.

This CPU is compatible with modern motherboard sockets and supports two types of memory technology for flexible system builds with up to 128 GB of capacity. Integrated graphics provide visual processing for systems without a discrete card, supporting high-resolution displays and multiple video outputs through several interface standards. The architecture also includes support for high-bandwidth PCIe standards to ensure fast connectivity for storage and expansion hardware. This boxed version includes a factory-standard cooler designed to maintain operational temperatures for the thermal design during standard computing tasks.
