I thought I’d need a 12700K for my build but had to settle for 12100. Got it 1 year ago.
This thing runs everything I throw at it and gives me at least 60FPS.
Even heavily moded Stalker Anomaly gives me reasonable performance.
I switched sides after about 12 years of using AMD CPUs (a 12700k was cheaper to build than 5800X), and this mini beast was a very very good first impression of Intel for me.
Yea them 12th gen chips you can find cheap sometimes. I got a i5 12600k for like 120 dollars brand new which I though was a pretty good deal
