The Intel Core i7-12700F 2.1 GHz 12-Core LGA 1700 Processor is built using a Hybrid Core architecture with the Intel 7 process, this 12th generation desktop processor's 12 cores combine the performance of four Efficient cores and eight 2.1 GHz Performance cores. The low-voltage Efficient cores handle background tasks for multitasking while the Performance cores provide speed for demanding applications and games. The built-in Intel Thread Director ensures that the two work seamlessly together by dynamically and intelligently assigning workloads to the right core at the right time to maximize performance.
