Intel Core i5-12600K Desktop Processor 10 (6P+4E) Cores up to 4.9 GHz Unlocked  LGA1700 600 Series Chipset 125W

this processor beats the previous gen of i7 and i9.

Middle end perfect CPU, thats all)))

Super powerful CPU at a sweet spot for a price. After reviewing CPU chart on Toms hardware, I purchased the core I512600K because its extremely fast and costs $100 to $200 less than comparable CPUs. I upgraded from a Intel core I5 9400 CPU and there was absolutely no comparison. This CPU smokes. Overall, Im very happy with the purchase.

Me encanto su rendimiento como estacion de trabajo, la temperatura se mantiene entre 30 grados con noctual nh-d15.

Best cpu for the money

240mm aio keeps this thing under 45° at all times. Paired with a rtx3070 and there’s no game I can’t handle currently!

The single core speed for this chip is insane. About 20% increase. As you may know, this chip has hybrid architecture. 6 “Performance” Cores and 4 “Efficient” Cores. The top 12900K has 8 Performance 8 Efficient Cores. The 12900K is way hot, and intel souped this processor up to barely beat the Ryzen 5950x but with a lot more heat generated. Keep in mind the 5950 is $799 compared to $579, but Intels is way more inefficient and hot.

I am upgrading from a 8700k so this chip isnt that big of an upgrade for me. Its fast, does what I need it to do. Out of the box no issues, no bent pins. CPU started up no issues

Great CPU all I can say.

Intel do your marketing material right before mentioning 125W TDP. Beware you couldnt play certain games due to DRM. I would prefer all high core performance. I believe they are aiming E core for their laptop which I certainly dont like!. This CPU cannot pass my sword test ⚔ ⚔ ⚔ ⚔
