I've seen more evidence that Bigfoot exists than that anyone actually lives near a microcenter.

There are 5 Micro Centers within 25 miles of me and 8.8 million other people.

Just a note to anyone wondering about K vs KF. KF processors lack integrated graphics.

Quote from rvdnsx :
NYC has a few Microcenters within driving distance. Flushing, Westbury, Brooklyn, Yonkers and North Jersey are probably the 5 locations that the person was referring to. If they live in NYC then all 5 locations are definitely within that 25 mile radius.
I'd be jelly about the distance for 5 separate MC's, but def NOT jelly about living in NYC.

I wonder why they have such a heavy presence in that geographic area.... maybe it is due to Newegg having their brick and mortar store(s) near there?

Are those still open? The only reason I know newegg has brick and mortar stores is because Microcenter would only price match newegg (back in the day, may their policy has changed since then) if you were somewhere in the NE (I forget where) and were by their brick and mortar store

Quote from TurtlePerson2 :
To be fair, Microcenter hasn't quite rolled out across the nation yet. I lived 5 minutes from a Microcenter when I was in Dallas, but I moved to Colorado Springs and the nearest one is now Denver (1 hour away). Colorado Springs is a pretty large city (500,000) and could probably support a Microcenter. And even the Dallas store is the only store for 200+ miles (Houston). The DFW metroplex has 7+ million people and less than half of them live within a reasonable drive of that store. Austin and San Antonio both have populations over 1 million and neither have a Microcenter.

I hope that someday, all Americans can have equal access to Microcenter, but for now, it is just one of the many injustices that we have to deal with that only some are blessed to live near one.
I have one an hour north of my home in NJ, but sadly nothing close in Austin (where I work).

Any big difference between this and alder lake?
Alder lake is a bit faster. This is CRITICALLY IMPORTANT if you're an internet forum bench racer.

These CPU's are fine and hella cheap.

I have a i7-7700k would this be a good choice to upgrade to a 11700KF or wait longer for more deals on a 12700K? I already have a 1080 GPU so integrated graphics isn't really something I am worried about.

So I'll agree with those stating that 12th gen cpu's are better in a strict cpu-to-cpu comparison. The 12400 (which also dopped to $160, very good price) beats the 11700kf in gaming and uses less power.

However there's a couple other factors I consider:
-socket 1200 motherboards are much lower in price and available in greater variety
-using socket 1700 means annoying incompatibility with many coolers

Every thread has someone complaining that they don't have microcenter in their pop. 5,500 town. It'll never end until microcenter puts one right next to every family dollar.
They only have 25 locations and 1/3 are in 2 states.

Anyone have any opinion on the deal itself, or are we all just triggered into becoming cartographers the moment Micro Center is mentioned
