Very good value for money
I chose this Intel processor because
- the latest chipset for a particular PC (FCLGA1700)
- its price
- its performance (stable boost to 4.7 GHz)
- supports DDR5
With the Alder Lake processors, Intel has launched a small revolution in the world of x86 architecture by adopting a hybrid technology based on two different types of cores assembled within the same chip: Performance-Cores and Efficient-Cores.
10-Core Processor (6 Performance-Cores + 4 Efficient-Cores) 16-Threads Socket 1700 L3 Cache 20MB 0.010 micron (boxed version without cooler - 3 year Intel warranty)
With the Alder Lake processors, Intel has launched a small revolution in the world of x86 architecture by adopting a hybrid technology based on two different types of cores assembled within the same chip: Performance-Cores and Efficient-Cores. With more cores and more power, 12th generation Intel processors are ready for next-generation gaming, PCI-Express 5.0 graphics cards and DDR5 RAM.
Intel's new high-performance hybrid architecture integrates two core families into one processor for a smoother gaming experience. Intel Thread Director prioritizes and manages workloads by determining which core is best suited for each task. Performance cores are designed for unique, low-thread count workloads, enhancing activities such as video gaming or productivity tasks. Efficiency cores are optimised for multi-threading by reducing interruptions from secondary tasks.
With high frequencies, achieve high performance in games. Confidently take on your opponents or explore new worlds with a revolutionary processor architecture that focuses on what matters. Intel 12th generation processors are simply designed for the next generation of gaming.

What more can I say, it's an Intel, that's all there is to it... works like a charm and doesn't heat up excessively, even when playing demanding games.
You don't need anything more, with this processor you can do anything you want, and it's incredible value for money.
Super processor perfect for streaming games and multi-tasking without spending a fortune! ????
Top value for money, it will run anything from 720p to 2k without a hitch
combined with 16g of ram and a 3080, it runs like a charm
I'm very happy with it
