i switched from the i5-12600k to the i7-12700kf and it has drastically improved my cinebench R23 scores both single core and multi

The Core i7-12700K comes with all of the gaming performance of its higher-priced i9 counterpart while beating competing Ryzen chips, but it's significantly less expensive. That makes the Core i7-12700K the go-to chip for gamers looking for the highest performance at a forgiving price point.—Jan '22
