Review: Incredible Value for Upgrades - This CPU delivers outstanding performance at its price point, especially when paired with a good cooler to maintain optimal temperatures. The difference compared to my old setup is like night and day. Highly recommend upgrading from 6-9th gen motherboards to this, along with a B760 or Z790 motherboard based on your specific needs.
Review: What I'd call a "golden" generation of CPUs - Finally decided to build my own PC this summer, and I knew I wanted a 12th gen Intel processor, given my laptop was sporting an i7-1255U (a surprisingly capable "mobile" processor!), and it did everything I needed just perfectly. I believe this was the first generation Intel started doing the whole P-Core and E-Core thing, and man did it pay off. Even running large VR games w/Ray Tracing mods, this processor doesn't really break a sweat (maybe due to me installing an extra fan on the CPU cooler, but credit where it's due). Assuming you have a GPU (this DOES require a dedicated GPU, as connoted by the "F" in the name), this is probably the best CPU on the market; great price, amazing multipurpose performance, and very much still relevant even three years hence. Really impressive! Haven't even touched the overclocking capabilities yet, and even then it still punches way over it's class so to speak.
