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

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.

Took a little longer (14 days) to ship out but delivery was fast. Great Upgrade from Intel 9600K PC User.

Great cpu for money. Extremely fast all around

The i5-12600K (K signifying that this is the desktop version) features a more generous turbo power bounds in addition to its desktop TDP, unlocked for overclocking, and included a single Intel sticker. This CPU is renowned among tech reviewers for its value while compromising only minimally in real world usage scenarios. If the i5 moniker is the “mainstream” product suitable for most users, the chip does not disappoint.

When I saw this during the Prime Day deal, I thought it was something I had to buy on general principle, which I did. Thus far, the chip is fast, runs Win 11 well and runs all the games Ive tried on it easily. Also, Intel has some neat utilities where, if one were inclined, may tinker with the performance.

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。

I am using this processor for a Remote Desktop Server and it is AWESOME!

This cpu kicks butt for a good all around cpu. I use it for gaming and ripping mp3s with no problem.

The best budget processor with enough horsepower to get it all done. Paired this with a Asrock B660m Steel Legend with OC on XMP and Unlock Watt and its as good as a Z690-Mobo OC. Also bought Thermaltakes CPU bracket along to fix the Lga 1700 Socket and temps are down by 10c.
