    • Runs fast and cool
Nice chip for what it does and with a good AIO cooler never gets hot at all. It has a lot of power and rally cut down on video editing over my older four core chip even at 4.0 MHZ. It does support 6000 memory speed and works well for what I need. All cores idle in the mid 20's and i don't think it has ever been over 40. ... show more

    • Still A Beast In 2025!!!
After hours of reviews, and an unlimited budget I specifically chose this CPU in 2025 for its performance, and stability... instead of Intel 13th/14th gen CPUs that went all bonkers. I'm going to a country overseas where computer part's stores are scarce, and warranty repair isn't easily doable. I needed to build a high-end fast computer that's reliable before leaving the USA... and after much research, reading reviews, and watching gaming/productivity performance X vs Y videos... I picked this 12th gen i9 CPU which was their flagship top performing CPU not too far back. It has much lower temps than i7/i9 13th & 14th gen Intel CPUs, it can be air-cooled using a top quality air-cooler, it won't overheat & completely burn out & fail like many 13th & 14th gens did, nor will my new 12th gen Intel CPUs have questionable silicone quality issues... and if there're any performance inefficiencies with this 12th gen CPU vs a 14th gen or Ultra series, me & 90%+ of people out there would not even notice... including semi-pro gamers, programmers, and producers. Did I hear someone say, "What about AMD CPUs?" Don't even get me started with their "Cooler temp CPUs" that had compatability issues with some apps & games... and their CPUs actually didn't run that cool when software demanded more from them, and the necessary turbo boost kicked in... haha ;) And if truth be told which has been proven... Windows 11 favors Intel CPUs beginning with Intel's 12th gen CPUs with e-cores. I'm no fan of AMD, but I will admit that was a bit unfair... ... show more
