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

PSA: do not buy if you want to overclock and you plan on using Intel XTU on windows 10! Intel has dropped support for XTU on windows 10 for the 12th and 13th gen models, which i did not know at the time of purchase. Regardless, you may not even need to overclock this processor, it handles games, video editing, and large processing workloads well! I have been enjoying Intels P/E core technology a lot, my background tasks running nominally, while my games and workloads execute smoothly. Amazing processor for its price, but its definitely not the fastest. You should buy this as an in-between when building a new computer or when upgrading chipsets, etc.

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.

First time building a PC. This processor was easy to install and has been working flawlessly.

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.

Solid processor! Works as intended.

Arrived as described. Powerful CPU for a reasonable price.

Rápido compatible con Windows 11 no he tenido ningún problema hasta hoy cumple con las velocidades y estabilidad ,lo tengo con un enfrentamiento noctua redux y es muy difícil que pase de 60 grados ...claro yo vivo en un lugar donde la temperatura ambiental no pasa de 20 grados celcius

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

This is still an excellent choice of CPU for the money. You may be able to get a better chip for the same price with Ryzen but this is still an excellent choice if you are partial to Intel or have a motherboard that only accepts Intel chips.

Got this on sale at 220 and man, is it an upgrade from a ryzen 5 3600.
