Description

New hybrid architecture for optimal performance

With the Alder Lake processors, Intel has launched a small revolution in the world of x86 architecture by adopting a hybrid technology based on two different types of cores assembled within the same chip: Performance-Cores and Efficient-Cores. With more cores and more power, 12th generation Intel processors are ready for next-generation gaming, PCI-Express 5.0 graphics cards and DDR5 RAM.

Intel Core i5-12600K 10-Core (6P+4E)

  • 10 Core / 16 Thread Processor
  • 6 Performance-Cores (3.6 GHz – 4.9 GHz) + 4 Efficient-Cores (2.8 GHz – 3.6 GHz)
  • L3 Cache 20 MB + L2 Cache 9.5 MB
  • Unlocked (unlocked multiplier for overclocking)
  • IGP : Intel UHD Graphics 770
  • Memory controller: DDR4 / DDR5
  • PCI-E 5.0compatible
  • TDP: 125W
  • Max. TDP (Turbo Power): 150W

Cores at work

Intel’s new high-performance hybrid architecture integrates two core families into one processor for a smoother gaming experience. Intel Thread Director prioritizes and manages workloads by determining which core is best suited for each task. Performance cores are designed for unique, low-thread count workloads, enhancing activities such as video gaming or productivity tasks. Efficiency cores are optimised for multi-threading by reducing interruptions from secondary tasks.

Reach new heights

With high frequencies, achieve high performance in games. Confidently take on your opponents or explore new worlds with a revolutionary processor architecture that focuses on what matters. Intel 12th generation processors are simply designed for the next generation of gaming.

    No worries on the other hand my i5-12600K I had activated in the BIOS the XMP But I did not pay attention right away in the task manager, my i5-12600k in the task manager was running in 6 cores 10 threads instead of 10 cores 16 threads. I have to manually activate in the bios in advanced CPU setting set the max number of cores, it ran for a few months bridged my proc as a result. A bit disappointing that the CPU core setting is not calibrated directly and requires user intervention.

    Everything is OK. Just one thing to point out: the ram was set to 3200MHz in the bios instead of 3600MHz.

    Not having the means to go for an I7 or even an I9, this I5 defends itself very well: with watercooling it hardly heats up, and the performance in games, even very greedy ones, is not felt. It’s perfect.

    Excellent value, 60°C max at 100% for 1 hour with OCCT on MSI Z690 TOMAHAWK DDR4 and AIO Be Quiet Silent Loop 280.

    Bought to succeed a 7700k. The first thing that shocks me is that with the same cooling (AIO NZXT KRAKEN), the 12600k heats up much less! The performances are there, and I didn’t need to change the power supply. Coupled with my good old 2080ti it allowed me to refresh my configuration without breaking the bank.

    Received 1 month after ordering from LDLC. Complicated logistics. Not much time (one week), currently working but I haven’t pushed it to its limits yet.

    Good but too much energy consuming. the noctua 12 cooling system has trouble keeping the temperature below 80° at 60% CPU usage.

    Moving on from a very old i5, it’s night and day in terms of performance. Happy with my purchase 🙂

    Since I have this processor I have no performance issues. I only have a GTX 1060 but the processor allows me to play any game. It also doesn’t heat up.

    Very good perfs, heats up little and undervolts very well, rarely above 40w in big games and with all its cores I never had any slowdown, I realize it when I turn on the pc, I open all my softwares at the same time and it goes on as if nothing was wrong

    Nothing to complain about! More powerful than a 9900k for 369e . I had a bit of trouble with a lot of blue screens on Win 10, but since switching to Win 11 it works perfectly. Stable under OC, without overheating. I am very satisfied.
