  • What I'd call a "golden" generation of CPUs
Style: i5-12600KF
Finally decided to build my own PC this summer, and I knew I wanted a 12th gen Intel processor, given my laptop was sporting an i7-1255U (a surprisingly capable "mobile" processor!), and it did everything I needed just perfectly. I believe this was the first generation Intel started doing the whole P-Core and E-Core thing, and man did it pay off. Even running large VR games w/Ray Tracing mods, this processor doesn't really break a sweat (maybe due to me installing an extra fan on the CPU cooler, but credit where it's due). Assuming you have a GPU (this DOES require a dedicated GPU, as connoted by the "F" in the name), this is probably the best GPU on the market; great price, amazing multipurpose performance, and very much still relevant even three years hence. Really impressive! Haven't even touched the overclocking capabilities yet, and even then it still punches way over it's class so to speak. ... show more

  • Works great.
Style: i5-12600KF
I'm using this CPU for volunteer grid computation. It absolutely churns through everything I throw at it super fast. Good overclocking performance, too. Best to use a liquid cooler since it can run a bit hot, especially during the summer months. Excellent value for the price.

  • Impressive Performance Upgrade - A Mid-Range Powerhouse
Style: i5-12600KF
I recently upgraded my PC's CPU to the Intel Core i5-12600KF from an older i7 6700k, and the improvement in performance has been nothing short of phenomenal. This processor has significantly boosted my PC's speed, making it feel at least five times faster than before. The addition of extra cores in the i5-12600KF is likely a major factor in this performance leap. It handles multitasking and demanding applications with remarkable ease, making my computing experience smoother and more efficient. Whether I'm gaming, working on intensive software, or just browsing, everything feels snappier and more responsive. What I appreciate most about the i5-12600KF is its balance of power and affordability. It's a fantastic middle-ground CPU that offers high-end performance without the hefty price tag of top-tier processors. This makes it an ideal choice for users like me who want a significant upgrade without breaking the bank. In conclusion, the Intel Core i5-12600KF is an excellent choice for anyone looking to upgrade their PC. Its ability to significantly boost performance, combined with its reasonable price, makes it a standout option in the mid-range CPU market. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to rejuvenate their computing experience. ... show more
