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.
i mean, you don’t want your bottleneck to be your CPU
I think the issues that causes are way overblown vs GPU bottlenecks. It’s a little worse yeah. But people will still drop their CoD or RB6:Siege graphical settings to low on their so they can be CPU limited all day on their 4090.
