Intel Core i5-12600KF 12th Gen Processor
ower up your productivity, gaming, and content creation experiences by installing the Intel Core i5-12600KF 3.7 GHz 10-Core LGA 1700 Processor into your desktop computer system. Built using a Hybrid Core architecture with the Intel 7 process, this 12th generation desktop processor’s 10 cores combine the performance of four Efficient-cores and six 3.7 GHz Performance-cores. The low-voltage Efficient-cores handle background tasks for multitasking while the Performance-cores provide speed for demanding applications and games. The built-in Intel Thread Director ensures that the two work seamlessly together by dynamically and intelligently assigning workloads to the right core at the right time to maximize performance. Additionally, this processor has a 4.9 GHz Performance-core Turbo Boost 2.0 frequency with 20MB of cache for fast and reliable performance.
The Core i5-12600KF also includes support for up to PCI Express 5.0 and dual-channel DDR5 memory at 4800 MHz to help run and multitask a variety of demanding applications. You can overclock this processor for even greater performance. The Core i5-12600KF does not include integrated graphics, meaning that users will need to purchase a separate dedicated graphics card. Please note that a thermal solution NOT is included.
The processor is compatible with Intel LGA 1700 socket motherboards and is backed by a 3-year warranty.
