Intel Core i5-12600K Desktop Processor with Integrated Graphics and 10 (6P+4E) Cores up to 4.9 GHz Unlocked LGA1700 600 Series Chipset 125W
The Intel core i5-12600K is unlocked for overclocking, and performs exceptionally well for a mid-range CPU, and at a cost fhaf will not break the bank. With 10 cores(6P &4E) Intel has really stepped their game up with regards to number of cores in their CPUs while delivering blazing fast clock speeds around the 5Gz mark, and have done this with a new CPU architecture brough about from this platform onwards. They do this with the new "Big-Little" architecture where the performance cores handles the main workload and the efficency cores take care of mostly background tasks. This processor is arguably one of the best price-toperformace ratio CPUs on the market and is one of the main go-tos for gaming.
