Review: It's Lightning Fast with Combined UHD Graphics - There is not a lot to say about this 12th Generation CPU except that it is a great performer and was delivered very speedily from the USA. The Spec is 12th gen Core with Base Clock Speed: P-Core: 3.7 GHz, E-Core: 2.8 GHz; Maximum Boost Speed: P-Core Turbo: 4.9 GHz, E-Core Turbo: 3.6 GHz, Socket: LGA 1700, CPU Cores: 10, CPU Threads: 16. The P-cores (Golden Cove) will operate at a base frequency. I am still investigating all it does but immediately standing out is the combined UHD graphics and the ability to over clock for avid gamers. No, this is not the fastest in the range but is lightning fast and enough for me at the moment. ## Features - Intel core i5-12600K 12th generation desktop processor - Intel Gaussian and Neural Accelerator 3.0 - Intel thread director - Intel deep learning boost (Intel DL Boost) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B09GYHXDHH | | Best Sellers Rank | 36,699 in Computers & Accessories ( See Top 100 in Computers & Accessories ) 97 in CPUs | | Brand | Intel | | Brand Name | Intel | | CPU manufacturer | Intel | | CPU model | Core i5 | | CPU socket | LGA 1700 | | CPU speed | 3.7 GHz | | Cache Memory Installed Size | 20 | | Cooling Method | Air Cooling | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 1,470 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 05032037234108 | | Item Dimensions L x W | 12L x 10W centimetres | | Item Type Name | CPU | | Item Weight | 0.04 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Intel | | Manufacturer Part Number | BX8071512600K | | Model Number | BX8071512600K | | Platform | Windows 10 | | Processor Brand | Intel | | Processor Core Count | 6 | | Processor Count | 1 | | Processor Number of Concurrent Threads | 12 | | Processor Series | Core i5 | | Processor Socket | LGA 1700 | | Processor Speed | 3.7 GHz | | Product Warranty | 1 year manufacturer | | Secondary Cache | 30 MB | | Secondary cache | 30 MB | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | | Wattage | 125 watts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Intel - **CPU manufacturer:** Intel - **CPU model:** Core i5 - **CPU socket:** LGA 1700 - **CPU speed:** 3.7 GHz - **Cache size:** 20 - **Processor Number of Concurrent Threads:** 12 - **Processor count:** 1 - **Secondary cache:** 30 MB - **Wattage:** 125 watts ## Images ![Core™ i5-12600K Desktop Processor 10 (6P+4E) Cores up to 4.9 GHz Unlocked LGA1700 600 Series Chipset 125W - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51Kws4ObreL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works perfectly as expected *by R***B on 10 March 2025* Great processor for the price. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It's Lightning Fast with Combined UHD Graphics *by D***M on 14 June 2022* There is not a lot to say about this 12th Generation CPU except that it is a great performer and was delivered very speedily from the USA.
