Best Intel Cpu For Gaming

[140 W] I'll start by saying I have over the years gone back and forth between AMD and Intel with whoever has the best CPU at the time for my gaming habits. This later also expanded into some stuff like video editing and streaming from time to time. Though I still use my system for gaming 95% of the time. That said I also love to build PC's and typically enjoy the higher end enthusiast builds. Because of this I have over the past 10 years been using Intel's HEDT motherboards like X79, X99 and now X299 chipsets. Currently running an X299 Asus Rampage VI Apex board I had originally purchased with an i9-7900X. Based on this I felt an easy and now cheaper upgrade to the i9-10920X CPU would be the best route. Yes there are better AMD CPU's out there right now, but Intel still does very well in the gaming performance. So since this was just a CPU swap out for me it was the best way to go I could keep everything else in my system as is. This motherboard has been rock solid and only 2 years old at this moment. I was not disappointed, this CPU works great out of the box. Has very good turbo features for those that don't know how to overclock. It will consistently run 2 cores at 4.8Ghz, 2 at 4.7Ghz, 2 or 3 at 4.6, and the rest at 4.5 down to 4.4. Using Intel Turbo Boost Max 3.0 software you can force older games that use typically 1 main core to use your strongest cores first for the extra speed. If the program/game has great multicore support then you have the 12 cores which really is plenty for gaming and enough for a good balance of production unless you crunch videos all day. OC wise I have only messed with it some so far but it's not hard to get this CPU to 5.0Ghz on all cores with what I am using, a Corsair H115i Pro AIO water cooler.

[0.175 lb] [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this 1 year ago for gaming in my pc cpu Intel i7 14 and gpu Nvidia 4070 guys. I'm very impressed how this card works fast and giving me low latency with Samsung magician app really like and recommend this 990 pro for gaming pc and console

[AMD Radeon ] Best bang for the he buck, seriously, if you are gaming why do you need more than 6/12? Modern games are more GPU intensive than CPU, unless you are playing Arma. AM4 is still strong and DDR4 is still just fine, this bad boy even supports PCIE 4!!! Take that intel

[1x USB-A Male] It was hard to get a direct answer about how to get a 4th monitor to work on an intel based laptop. The problem is that the Intel CPU only allows 3 displays, even if you have a dedicated GPU in the laptop because the GPU isn't a full gpu, but just an extra chip that runs through the Intel CPU. Since it runs through the intel CPU, it is limited by the same 3 display output as the CPU. This allows you to run more than 3 displays on a single laptop.

[96 MB] this CPU is high-speed and runs very hot. this is faster than any Intel Cpu I have ever owned and right now it's at a great price paired up with the right ram and motherboard and GPU there isn't anything you can't do with this.

[3.4 GHz] Workstation / Gaming PC build - I have 4 VM running and playing a games at the same time. The cpu doesn’t even feel the workload. Keeping it less than 50% cpu load. Amazing I keep throwing heavy task at this machine and I am not stressing the cpu at all. Build. X570 motherboard 64 GB RAM AIO cooler Nvme drive Nvidia 2080 I was one of the lucky ones to get this at the launch. Shout out to the B&H support team. They are the best. Love this CPU. Wish I could of gotten the new AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT to go with my CPU. Either way. I am enjoying this build. Thank you B&H.

[Yes] This cpu is amazing. If you bought 11th gen....I feel for you. Chip runs great, temps are reasonable(using a 360 AIO). If you leave it at stock performance it great. Once you start overclocking, while there is some headroom, you will need pretty good cooling. Overall I'm very happy. I have this and a 12600k. If you are on a budget, that is really the cpu to get in my opinion. I have no need for the i9. It has a bit higher clocks and more E-cores. To me, nothing to get too excited about. I just hope Intel stays on this socket for 13th gen. From what I've read, that is the plan, but Intel hasn't really said anything officially. Cheers!

[262-Pin SO-DIMM] With my laptop using a 13th gen intel mobile cpu, the fast ram speed I can set with a 64GB set is 5200, so this set is perfect.

[AM4, AM5] Keeps my cpu nice and cool (intel i7 12700k) Easy to install Nice looking too.

[125 W] This is my second 12700k. What a great CPU. Intel CPUs above this one suffer from a significant loss of diminishing returns. This is the best Intel CPU performance for the money, hands down. And now that the prices have come down so much since I purchased the first one...wow. Then get one on sale and it's truly wonderful. Thanks B&H.
