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.
well, seems you sticked to AMD thru their worst moments and switched when they were good xD
Also, 5800X is a bad deal anyway, 5700X is the same but runs cooler…And for gaming a i5/R5 are usually the better options anyway.
