I have a 5950X and while it’s great at gaming I also managed to play with a 12700k pc and that thing is a monster in video games. The 12900k is quite appealing but the power it can draw with the heat it can pump out makes it not as worthwhile for the 3-8% performance increase in games.
So as of right now 12700K (AMD 5800X3D is also good) has my vote. If you have money and don’t care then probably the 12900KS. I sticking with AMD 5950X and I’m looking forward to their 7th gen.

Don't you literally have a 5900x already? lol
If anything, get a better cooler. That 212 EVO is already shitting itself trying to cool that 5900x.

Intel Core i7 12700K is the best combination of price and power. ![]() |
