CPU & Memory Please find the man page for find command

-size n[c] True if the file is n blocks long (512 bytes
per block). If n is followed by a c, the
size is in bytes.


If you want to print the files with size more than 12MB(12582912 bytes) , use the below command:

find . -type f -size +12582912c -print

"+" sign for files more than 12mb and "-" sign for files less than 12 MB.
