Intel Core i7-12700KF Unlocked Desktop Processor
12th Generation Alder Lake · FCLGA1700 · Boxed (no cooler)
12-Core 20-ThreadUp to 5.0 GHz25 MB Intel Smart Cache CacheUnlocked
The Intel Core i7-12700KF is a 12th Generation (Alder Lake) desktop processor with 8 Performance-cores + 4 Efficient-cores (12 total) and 20 threads, a 3.6 GHz base clock that boosts to 5.0 GHz, with no integrated graphics, so a discrete graphics card is required. Supplied as the retail boxed version (part number BX8071512700KF, EAN 5032037234047); note that unlocked K-series boxed processors do not include a cooler. Typically in stock with fast delivery across Cyprus.
Compatibility — read before you buy
This processor uses the Intel LGA1700 socket and needs a compatible motherboard (Intel 600-series such as Z690, B660, H670 or H610, or 700-series boards (Z790, B760) with a BIOS update). It supports DDR5-4800 / DDR4-3200 memory up to 128 GB. The unlocked multiplier allows overclocking on Z-series boards. As an unlocked CPU it ships without a cooler — add a compatible air or liquid cooler.

Frequently Asked Questions
Singular Expert Insight
The i7-12700KF offers the same high-end gaming and content-creation muscle as the i7-12700K — 8 Performance-cores plus 4 Efficient-cores, unlocked for overclocking — but removes the integrated graphics to lower the price. It is ideal for gaming builds with a dedicated GPU; choose the i7-12700K only if you want onboard video. To get the most from it, pair it with dual-channel DDR5 memory and a motherboard that matches your performance and upgrade plans.
Buyer's Guide
Buy it if
You always run a discrete graphics card and want high-end 12-core performance with overclocking headroom at a lower price than the i7-12700K.
Skip it if
You need integrated graphics, do not plan to overclock, or want maximum multi-core power from an i9 or newer generation.
Also consider
The i7-12700K (adds UHD 770), the i5-12600KF (fewer cores, cheaper), or the i7-13700KF/14700KF for more E-cores and higher clocks.
