Intel 12th Gen Core i5-12600K LGA1700 3.7GHz 6-Core CPU

The 12th Generation Intel® Core™ processors feature a performance hybrid architecture that represents a significant advancement. Get the performance you need, right where you need it, whether you're a gamer, creator, streamer, or regular user. With Intel® 12 Generation processors, you can do more of what you enjoy, whenever you want. The 12th generation Intel® Core™ processors feature a hybrid architecture that combines performance and efficiency cores (P-core and E-core). That translates to real-world performance, intuitively scaled to match your work.

The performance core is Intel's most powerful CPU core ever. It's also optimised for single-thread performance and responsiveness in compute-intensive workloads such as gaming and 3D design. The efficient core provides multithreaded performance for tasks that can run concurrently (such as image rendering), as well as efficient offloading of background tasks for modern multitasking.

Intel built Intel® Thread Director directly into the hardware to ensure that performance and efficient cores work seamlessly with the operating system. Intel® Thread Director guides the operating system by automatically monitoring and analysing on the fly, ensuring that the right thread is placed on the right core at the right time. And it does it all dynamically, adapting scheduling guidance to actual computing needs rather than static rules.

The 12th generation Intel® Core™ processors support the latest discrete graphics cards and storage devices. These devices take advantage of the increased throughput provided by PCIe 5.0, as well as the faster speeds and bandwidth of DDR5 memory. The 12th Gen Intel® Core™ processors include built-in features for noise suppression, auto-framing, and bandwidth and video resolution optimisation during gaming. This saves you time and allows you to multitask in ways you couldn't have imagined before. 12th Gen Intel® Core™ processors enable seamless performance across multiple tasks, including gaming, browsing, streaming, and creating masterpieces.
