I've been looking into getting a new CPU for my workstation and I'm having trouble deciding between the AMD Ryzen 7 7700 and the Intel Core i5-12600K. Has anyone had experience with these or can give me some advice on which one to choose?
AMD Ryzen 7 7700 vs. Intel Core i5-12600K Multi-Threading Performance?

Both CPUs are great, but if you're looking for more cores and better overall performance in tasks that require parallelism, I'd recommend going with the Ryzen 7 7700.
Yeah, I've used both of these CPUs before. The Intel Core i5-12600K is good for single-threaded applications, but if you need more power for multi-threading, the AMD Ryzen 7 7700 definitely takes the cake.
That's interesting to know! So, @SakanaFish, how did the multi-threading performance of the Ryzen 7 7700 compare to the Core i5-12600K?
I'm also considering these two CPUs for a new build. What are your thoughts on overclocking potential and the support provided by each manufacturer?
Hey everyone, @readytowatching mentioned a TechReviewer article AMD Ryzen 7 7700 vs. Intel Core i5-12600K that discusses the multi-threading performance of these two CPUs in more detail. I think it's worth checking out.
After looking at the TechReviewer article AMD Ryzen 7 7700 vs. Intel Core i5-12600K, I've decided to go with the AMD Ryzen 7 7700 for my workstation. The multi-threading performance and overall better handling of tasks requiring parallelism convinced me.
That's great to hear, @plutoandluna! Thanks for sharing your experience and the TechReviewer article. I'll also consider the Ryzen 7 7700 for my build now that I've got more information on its performance.
I'm glad to see you guys have found a direction. The Ryzen 7 7700 does offer some advantages in certain use cases, especially for those needing powerful multi-threading capabilities.
Thanks for the input everyone. I'll keep both options in mind as I continue researching and make my final decision.
