Review: Core i5 12600K processor

Review: Core i5 12600K processor

With six performance cores and four energy-efficient ones, the Core i5 12600K might become a budget-friendly yet really well-performing Alder Lake series processor. It offers heaps of performance, tied towards DDR5 memory, and a PCIe Gen 5.0 x16 lane interface.

Now this, compared to the lackluster 12900K is much more impressive. Definitely a top dog for gaming. Might be the go-to for a lot of people who are in the market right now.

This is the only cpu to buy however the new platform is costly as well as DDR5.

Nonetheless Intel is back in the game which is still a bit wierd to say, AMD have to drop prices and everyone wins here since the Ryzen 5000 value didn't really drop a lot(high end at least).

This is the new gaming CPU to get. It should get better as a few months pass and DDR5 gets cheaper. I'm so happy Intel is back competing.

MAYBE the 12600 KF might be the new gaming king since it is basically a 5.3 GHZ Ryzen 5600x at this point with on par IPC!

I wish they would consider a 12500Kf without those 4 littles cores at $199

or maybe a 12650KF with 8 big cores, without the little cores as well at $349

AMD, show me the money now!
