Amazon US is currently running the Core i7-12700K at a healthy 22% discount, seemingly the lowest price that the processor has reached to date. To recap, the Core i7-12700K is a member of the Alder Lake-S series. As such, the processor relies on a 10 nm manufacturing process and has a 125 W TDP (PL1).

However, it can consume up to 190 W in the process. The Core i7-12700K only trails the Ryzen 7 7700X by a few percent too, although the newer Core i7-13700K may be a better option for those who want bleeding-edge performance from a Core i7 part.
