Back in January, Intel officially increased the price of its 12th Gen Core processors by 10 percent, a move that was thought to help push the 13th Gen Core processors in retail. Here we are, barely a month later and Intel is now said to be cutting the price on said 12th Gen Core processors by as much as 20 percent. The report comes from DigiTimes in Taiwan and should as such be taken with a pinch of salt, but apparently the higher-end SKUs are expected to see the biggest price cuts.

Twitter user @harukaze5719 has put together a cheat sheet that gives us an easy overview on what we might be able to expect, if the 20 percent price cut is done across the board. This should make Intel's 12th Gen Core processors quite attractive price wise, as all models would end up selling for much less than they did before the 10 percent price increase. This would give Intel some extra leverage over AMD, which might be forced to lower its prices in turn, to be able to stay competitive.

Here comes 7000 3D...
 
Good, every price slashing is good to see !
And theses 12th Gen Core Processors are very capable !
Waiting now for a good price on the 12700KF :)
 
Now we're at a decent level of pricing tbh. This is what it should be for 'the i7' basically.
 
If Intel slashes price of Alder Lake, they will have to slash their price for Raptor Lake as well. The latter is faster for sure, but Alder Lake are still very good performers. In fact if multithreading is not as important, generally Alder Lake chips are cheaper and perform pretty well in games.

Look at the less expensive i7 12700 / 12700F.

Yes i could, but in my country the 12700 is about 370 € and the 12700K(F) is 395 €
But you're right, i've checked the review you give in the link, and the 12700 normal is 7% slower than the 'K version
A price slash is welcome !
Well see which one gets the best Q/P ratio :)

How much in your country for the 12700F ?
 
370 €, all the prices were on Amazon, could be cheaper elsewhere ;)

Strange. Normally the 12700F is less expensive than the 12700.
 
Amazon here is often (not always) the cheaper, but prices fluctuate from day to day ...

On another reputable tech shop prices are :
i7 11700 : 450 €
i7 12700 : 430 €
i7 12700 F : 450 €
i7 12700 K : 485 €
i7 12700 KF : 450 €
i7 13700 : 520 €
i7 13700 F : 500 €
i7 13700 K : 590 €
i7 13700 KF : 550 €

Just checked on Amazon US, the 12700 KF is 277 $, plus 73 $ ship and taxes, 350 $ more or less 320 € ...
