If you're thinking about buying a 12th gen Intel CPU, then we
need to have this chat, because I'm seeing way too many
comments, and I can't save you all from making the same
mistake I've seen.
Like, I don't know how many comments asking for the same
thing.
I went for this one.
I went for this one, and I'm like, no, please, please,
please don't make this mistake.
Let's talk.
Licensing Windows has never been easier and cheaper.
Go to who keys that come search for Windows 10 Pro license, or
click on the link in the video description scription below
purchase the license and use the code TN20 to get a 20%
discount paste the key into the activation settings.
And you're all done, by the way, this license also works for
Windows 11 when upgraded from licensed Windows 10, check out
who keys that come in the video description below.
So what is this mistake Then?
Basically, the Intel 1210 CPUs over here have a few different
variances of each model, so you can have i7 and there's a lots
of different ones of it.
You have a k version, you have known K version KF version, and
then there's other versions as well coming out.
So how do you know which one should you choose as a Creator
when one of the biggest differences on mistakes people
can make with the 12th Gen is choosing a KF variant of the
CPU, or just an F.
If there is an F in the title of the CPR, or in the CPU model
of the Intel CPUs is not just 12 Gen.
It's a previous generations as well as what that means is
there is no igb you inside.
And if you are a video creator, or even photographer, or, or
just a Creator, then that F for you should be meaning flipping.
Stay away because don't don't buy that one.
I've seen so many comments where people have said, oh, I
went with the KF version of this chip, and I'm like, why
would you do that?
Because just, for example, go check out my 12600k and 12 900k
review, but the igpu you inside the GPU can give you up to 30
or 40 percent of performance compared to the KF version,
without the igpu, the igp you inside there is absolutely
amazing.
And if your video greater and that just doesn't go with 12
Chen if you decide to go with 11th Trend, because 11 still
has a very good eye GPU inside there, even though the CPU kind
of line up, but before Mance is very ver for video creators.
The 11th Jim makes quite a lot of sense compared to the 10th
Trend, because it has extra video Codec supported for
encoding and decoding on the 11th Chen compared to the 10th
Gen.
But if you're a video great there, and you go with any of
the Intel CPUs.
Don't buy the f kf whatever F, if there's an F in the name, do
not buy that, because you're going to lose a lot of
performance.
And the price difference between the F and the non F
version or k version is only maybe like $50 and maximum or
something like that.
And that is not worth the price honestly, to pay $50, even if
you don't need the IG b, or it's amazing to pay fifty
dollars for a graphics card that can support like too much.
It is 4K monitors just inside built into your CPU.
Why wouldn't you want that?
Or if you want troubleshooting, or like I mention again, if
your video creator, that's going to be amazing for you.
So any of the variance of the 12th Chen CPUs stay away from
the F variant.
And you might be saying I'm a gamer and I don't need it then
gaming is one of the only kind of aspects where I'm saying,
yeah, you probably don't need that igb you, because you're
using, you know, your dedicated graphics has to play all this
stuff back.
But if you're any other Creator, it makes a lot of sense for
gamers.
Yeah, okay, I understand why you would go with the KF and
like variant of the CPU.
But even then, I'm thinking you might be able to use the
encoders on the IG being for your streaming, for example,
and that will take the load off your dedicated graphics card.
And the encoders can be on the CPU and things like that.
So it's still kind of makes sense to go with the K or, you
know, non F variant of the CPUs.
Now, if you are photographer, you might not even need a
dedicated graphics card, because if you're using
Photoshop or Lightroom, go check out my 12 600k and 12
900k reviews.
So you can see that.
But if you're using those programs, then a dedicated
graphics card will give you 0 performance or next to 0
performance.
So there's no point of getting a graphics card to get a better
view performance in your Lightroom or photoshop editing.
What the graphics card will give you is like a monitor.
You know, you can have lots of monitors if you're using like a
lot of 4K monitors.
But even those I gpus can support like a think two or
three 4K monitors, which is a lot and very, very impressive.
So if you want to be on a budget, instead of buying a
dedicated graphics card, get that the non F variant of the
CPU and just run those monitors, make sure that your mother
bought has, you know, like outputs of video outputs,
because some of the motherboards only have
one if you want to run one monitor.
But if you need more than one, make sure that your mother boy
has like two video outputs, like a HDMI or DP Port.
Also, when you using the motherboard, make sure it is a
display out, because that can be confusing.
A lot of the motherboards these days have a display in part as
well, for the Thunderbolt connectors out to get a video
out that way.
So it's not like actual output of that.
So you can really run the money to out on the DP port in.
Just make sure that you know, you know that when choosing a
monitor so photographers, this non F variant makes a lot of
sense, and to underline it one more time for video creators.
If your video editor, then one of the biggest mistake you can
do is go with the F variant of the CPU.
And you might be thinking, but I still have my dedicated
graphics card like I can use that, right?
Yes, the dedicated graphics card, like an Nvidia cards will
have encoders and decoders inside the dedicated graphics
card as well.
But the 12th, Gen iGPU encoders and decoders inside there are
much better than the Nvidia graphics, card drivers or
encoders in there in the Nvidia graphics card.
So basically these days, I think, to Media engines inside
there and the 12 chin chips all have the same igb you inside,
whether you go with I5 i7 I9, they all run basically the same.
The encoders and decoders are the same.
The GPU is basically the same in all of them.
There is a little difference in the frequency.
They run the blah, blah blah.
But the actual media encoders and stuff they are the same on
all of them.
And when you have your dedicated graphics card, those
two gpus you have like your I GPU in your CPU, and the
dedicated graphics card can work together.
So if, if you're editing on Premiere Pro, for example,
Premiere Pro will put the like video Codec playback on the IG
bill, because those encoders play very well back the h265
and h264 codex, while your color grading and some of the
GPU effects go on the dedicated graphics card
that have a lot of like Graphics power to actually, you
know, work on all of those Graphics.
So yes, if you're wondering if the igp on the dedicated
graphics card can work together, then yes, they can work
together, and they do it very, very well.
Then to encode is from the igp you, and then the rest of the
graphics power from the dedicated graphics card.
So it's definitely worth that please, if you're a Creator, do
not make that mistake by going with a f variant of the CPU.
If you want to pick up any of those a CPUs that I'm talking
about, I'll leave these link below.
But before you buy this, go check on my reviews so you can
decide really what works better for your situation, or in your,
you know, workflow.
Feel free to go check them out.
Okay, thanks guys for watching.
I'll see you soon, and don't make that that mistake.
Let me know what you think in the comments below.
I'll meet you down there.
Thanks guys for watching.
And before I say, bye-bye Windows 11 and software, as
have been updating quite a lot.
I've got another video coming up very, very soon.
Where I'm going to talk about the stability is getting better
and better by week on the 12th Jen.
And I'm super happy.
Even the before Mance is better.
My initial performance when I made the twelve 600k review.
And now this latest Benchmark that I'm running there is a
seven percent difference.
It's seven percent better now now, and that's amazing Windows
11 was slower than the Windows 10, and now Windows 11 is
faster than the Windows 10 by seven percent.
And that's a lot.
Okay, guys.
Anyway, just little tips.
I wanted to talk to you.
I didn't want you to make that mistake.
See you soon.
Bye, bye.
