Key Features

The Intel Core i5-12600KF is a desktop processor with 10 cores, launched in November 2021, at an MSRP of $264. It is part of the Core i5 lineup, using the Alder Lake-S architecture with Socket 1700. Intel Hyper-Threading technology is available and effectly doubles the core-count of the P-Cores, to a total of 16 threads. Core i5-12600KF has 20 MB of L3 cache and operates at 3.7 GHz by default, but can boost up to 4.9 GHz, depending on the workload. Intel is making the Core i5-12600KF on a 10 nm production node, the transistor count is unknown. You may freely adjust the unlocked multiplier on Core i5-12600KF, which simplifies overclocking greatly, as you can easily dial in any overclocking frequency.

With a TDP of 125 W, the Core i5-12600KF consumes a lot of power, so good cooling is definitely needed. Intel's processor supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory with a dual-channel interface. For communication with other components in the machine, Core i5-12600KF uses a PCI-Express Gen 4 connection. This processor does not have integrated graphics, you will need a separate graphics card.

Hardware virtualization is available on the Core i5-12600KF, which greatly improves virtual machine performance. Additionally, IOMMU virtualization (PCI passthrough) is supported, so that guest virtual machines may directly use host hardware. Programs using Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) can run on this processor, boosting performance for calculation-heavy applications. Besides AVX, Intel is including the newer AVX2 standard, too, but not AVX-512.

    I've been using the non F variant of this processor since its launch. Still extremely capable and fast and most importantly, this has the E cores which aided in the 12th Gen being the bump in performance that intel needed. This is comparable to a 11900k/10900k, do not overlook

    Great processor, paid £270 for this back in 2022. It doesn't include a fan as supplied in the retail package.
    I game a bit and use BOINC so on Windows 10 you need to disable the "E" cores as that OS doesn't assign tasks correctly to the "P" cores. Currently running at a 10% overclock with no overheating issues, I have a NH-U12S cooler attached though.
