The 7600/X will smoke this in gaming and MT is comparable.

The 'F' means this has no integrated graphics core, meaning a GPU is not optional.

I would think that makes this a poor choice for video editing/graphics. That said, you could always buy discrete graphics.

I'm looking for lower power consumption though, disqualifying this due to lack of integrated graphics.
What a weird take. Discrete graphics is the direct implication of a lack of integrated graphics. So the lack of iGPU doesn't mean it's a poor choice for graphics processing, it means that you are already buying a superior graphics card and don't want to pay for a then useless iGPU.

Multi thread workload. If you're not in a rush look for deals where they pair the CPU with a motherboard and RAM. Usually from Newegg and BestBuy. If you live near a Microcenter, they have a bundle deal with a 7700X for $400.

You've exactly reiterated my analysis, so what's strange about what we've said?

The person I was responding to asked if this CPU was good for video editing, which it is not.
First of all you weren't responding to anyone, or did so like a boomer without actually reply/quoting them.

Second, saying that "The person I was responding to asked if this CPU was good for video editing, which it is not." due to lack of iGPU is the same as saying, "This is bad for video editing because it's lack of iGPU means you literally can't have a monitor" LMAO. It's a silly take my guy.

You've stated exactly the same things I have, and then call me silly.

Do you normally go around the internet telling people they are absolutely correct, and that's why they are silly? I just don't understand why you spend your 1 and only precious life agreeing with people and saying they are silly.

No, you said it's a bad CPU for video editing for a silly reason. I clearly have not said the same thing.

So between the i3 12100T and i9 12900KF, tell me which one of those is better for video editing so I can have a quick giggle.

I will be looking for a bundle deal. Unfortunately, no Microcenter near me with all of the deals they have been having. Crazy that they don't have these for online sales also. I wonder how much business they lose by not having online sales?

1. How is this processor WITHOUT overclocking?

2. Can I use this on a B660m motherboard?

I literally had this in my build and was waiting to order before posting to SD to make sure it didn't sell out LMAO

This is hands down the most performance for the money at the moment. No contest.

* * * OP - the listing is erroneous. There is no onboard graphics (iGPU) on a KF chip, so you may want to update the listing.

They are probably breaking even on those bundles to get people in store.
