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

This is an amazing processor for the price. Excellent performance and has some overclocking headroom as well.

Amazing 10 core i5 CPU at a great price. Handily beats more expensive ryzen 7 5800X at both single and multi threaded workloads. For gaming it provides better FPS than every Ryzen CPU in the market including the $800 Ryzen 9 5950X. Runs cool specially for gaming. Similar or better perf/Watt and much better perf/dollar compared to 5800X. Very low idle power draw due to efficiency cores. Has good overclocking headroom. KitGuru did an amazing review of the K version of this chip which should be applicable to this KF version as well.

Got sent a bad CPU that only uses about 1.8 compared to the advertised 3.7 base clock speed. Also the kf doesnt come with integrated graphics and the one that does is 10$ cheaper.

So basically i got it installed on my msi-z690 with the artic freezer 280 and did a clean windows install. I then let windows run all its updates and after the first reset the system would not open any programs or allow me to click IE to download drivers for my amd vega 64. luckly i had my laptop to usb the software safemoded the install and bingo everything so far is fast and amazing and im in intel heaven and my i7-7700k is in intel recycle bin. I cant believe how much cpu % is being used on this like in games the i7-7700k was about 79% but this i5 is at 28-33 % for wow/ffxiv/horzion dawn zero/gtav like im blown away. I also did not disable the e cores so have obs/yt and itunes up and at times a netflix show or anime i feel literally zero input lag with the core temp of 40ish so yes this is so much better then anything i have. Thanks intel. Also im not sure why its consider budget gaming cpu as this thing is outclassing high end cpus... just saying.

12代还挺好压的，我这颗大雷，大核全核5.0单核5.2小核全核4.0玩游戏在60w左右，r23全核烤机得加压功耗大概140w，用风冷随便压。

Super Leistung

This processor is amazing in that for significantly less price than previous years you can have the same processing power. I upgraded a 6 year old processor -- the last upgrade to basically fully replacing my pc-- with no issues, and easily was able to recognize the Windows code, and had no issues swapping. Overall, the Processor preforms great, has no issues, and is able to effectively handle my needs in photo editing, video editing, and gaming.

You can usually find this processor for around $200 and it matches the performance of a Ryzen 7600x. Great price to performance.

FINALLY. Intel has got back to being a contender. I had not updated my computer since Kaby Lake... and I was a bit disappointed to see how thrashed Intel was getting by AMD.

No country for amd.
