Intel Core i7-12700 (Alder Lake)
- Cores/Threads: 12 (8P-cores + 4E-cores) / 20 threads
(P-cores = Performance, E-cores = Efficient) - Base Clock: 2.1 GHz (P-cores) / 1.6 GHz (E-cores)
- Max Turbo Boost: 4.9 GHz (P-cores) / 3.6 GHz (E-cores)
- TDP:Â 65WÂ (PL1), boosts higher under load (PL2 ~180W)
- Socket:Â LGA 1700Â (Compatible with 600/700-series motherboards)
- Cache:Â 25MBÂ L3 (Smart Cache)
- Architecture: Hybrid (Alder Lake) – Combines P-cores + E-cores
- iGPU:Â Intel UHD Graphics 770Â (if not an “F” variant)
- Memory Support: DDR4-3200 / DDR5-4800, PCIe 5.0 support
Key Notes:
- Performance: Strong for gaming/productivity, but turbo behavior depends on cooling.
- Power: Base TDP is 65W, but real-world usage can spike higher.
- Motherboard: Requires 600-series (e.g., B660, Z690) or 700-series (e.g., B760, Z790) chipset.
