Intel Core i5-12600KF
The Intel Core i5-12600KF is a desktop processor released in 2021, featuring a hybrid architecture with 10 cores and 16 threads.
The Intel Core i5-12600KF is a desktop processor based on the Alder Lake microarchitecture, released in November 2021. It combines 6 performance cores (P-cores) and 4 efficiency cores (E-cores) for a total of 10 cores and 16 threads. The base clock is 3.7 GHz, with a boost clock of 4.9 GHz. It includes 9.5 MB of L2 cache and 20 MB of L3 cache. The processor is built on Intel's 7 nm process node and has a TDP of 125 W, with a maximum turbo power of 150 W. It supports up to DDR5-4800 or DDR4-3200 memory across two channels, but does not support ECC memory. The i5-12600KF has no integrated graphics and features an unlocked multiplier for overclocking. It uses the FCLGA1700 socket and provides 20 PCIe lanes, supporting PCIe 5.0 and 4.0. The launch MSRP was $264.
